It’s been a while since I shared my monthly goals. To be honest, I’ve been struggling to get into a routine all year. A huge part of that is all the changes Will and I have been through this year. We got a dog, we’ve been wedding planning, I switched from working fulltime to starting a career as a freelancer, and most recently, we bought a house (yep, dropping that bomb on you!). With so many life things to focus on, I’ve been falling behind on my monthly goals, but with another crazy month ahead, I figure now is as good a time as any to get back to it. So, let’s dive in!
FITNESS GOALS
Morning Workouts – This has been a goal of mine all year. I used to be so good about working out in the morning, but since moving to Austin, my workout times have been sporadic. I enjoy working out in the morning because 1) it gives me energy for the day and 2) I don’t have to worry about getting it in later. This month, I’m on a mission to finally get back to being an early bird!
10,00 Steps a Day – Getting in 10,000 steps a day was pretty easy when I lived in NYC, but it’s proven a lot more difficult here. I stopped caring for a while, but recently I realized just how little I was walking. So I pulled my fitbit out of retirement and am back to tracking those steps.
Stick To Training Plan – I’ve been pretty lax with my fitness overall. Sometimes I stick to my training plan and sometimes I don’t. This is a month of sticking to it!
NUTRITION GOALS
Healthier Weekends – I’ve always been pretty good about eating well during the week. I tend to cut myself some slack on the weekends, but lately I’ve been cutting myself a little too
LIFE GOALS
Stay Stress Free – Will and I have a big month moving to our new house! We have a lot to do to get the house ready (aka moving our apartment of stuff over, buying things like appliances (#adulting) and getting new furniture). I’ve already started feeling a little overwhelmed with it all, but I hope I can keep my stress in check to make this move fun.

You definitely have A LOT going on in life it can be difficult to take time to focus on your goals. I have been trying to find balance on the weekends too between enjoying myself but not feeling blahhhh from too much food/drinks I don’t normally it. And congrats on buying a house!

Weekends are always much harder for me too because my husband likes to go out to dinner both nights and I never eat as well as I do at home. You have a lot of fun things going on in your life! Congrats on the new house

Hi! I’ve been following you on FB and Twitter and am happy to find your link party! I started a fitness blog a few months ago and was working on my NASM cert when life threw me a curveball called pregnancy. Lol. So October goal would be to keep active going into month 6 of the pregnancy and not giving up on staying healthy. Thanks for the party!
Happy to have you and looking forward to following your journey! I hope you’ll be back next week 🙂
