November was a fantastic month full of exciting firsts (first time hosting Thanksgiving and first time teaching a community class at a studio) and memorable times as the BOY became a lawyer.  It was a month of good outdoor runs and intense strength sessions. It was a month of delicious food and sweet deserts.   It was a month of gratefulness!!!

As we round the corner into December, I am filled with happiness thinking back on how the year turned out and looking forward to many more exciting times ahead.

I know that December will be a fun way to end this amazing year on a high!

I thought it would be good to check in on my November/December goals if for no other reason than to remind myself what I was hoping to accomplish and refocus for the month ahead.  I’ve added in a new study goal too since I am taking a professional test early next year and am struggling to study as much as I want at night after work.

November/December Goals

1. Exercise 5 days per week-I’ve adjusted my workouts for the winter and have consistently been getting in 5 per week.

2. Host our first Thanksgiving-GOAL MET

3. Teach a community yoga class- GOAL MET

4. Eat clean (even during the holidays)-Here we go…

5. Study hard

Since we finally ran out of Thanksgiving leftovers, it was time to hit up the grocery store.  I let the BOY dictate our menu as he is the one who will be cooking dinner this week.
