1. Write, revise, or edit at least 7 pages a week during the month of November. As you may have read in my earlier conference report post, I have a swiftly approaching deadline to expand my conference paper and submit it to a journal for potential publication. I also need to make progress on the edited volume, because I need to have that off my desk by the end of the year.
2. Do yoga every day this month. As my mileage will be low this month since I'm focusing on just maintaining my base and doing some shorter, focused runs to build speed, it seems like the perfect time to try to cross this off my 32 in 32 list. I can't afford an unlimited pass to my studio right now, but I'm going to try to make it there 2 times a week and do shorter practices at home on the other days.
3. Maintain my food journal every single day this month. As I've had difficulty with this over the past few months, I've decided to incentivize this. If I'm successful in keeping my journal for the whole month, then I'm going to treat myself to a reward in the form of a pair of snow boots at the end of the month.
Do you have any goals for November? Where do you plan to focus your energies this month?
My goal for November is to get to yoga as much as possible. I activated a groupon for a month of unlimited yoga at CorePower, so I want to get the most out of that. Besides that, I want to keep running 3 times a week, and just really focus on enjoying the less busy here and now before the craziness of studying starts in just under 2 months. Oh, and I have to pass another exam for work, so I will be studying for that and possibly taking it the week of Thanksgiving if I can get my act together in time.
ReplyDeleteFor November? I hope to just get through all the marking with my shoulders maintaining a modicum of mobility -- so I hope to keep up Pilates and yoga as well as getting some kilometres in. I'm always amazed, at this point in the term, to realize how quickly we've got here!
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't believe we are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving and the end of the term here. It feels like it's going by a little too fast.
Delete"...but it's Alaska so I might as well just pull up my sweater tights and hunker down."
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Sweater tights are the best. This month I am:
1) revising a grant for resubmission
2) planning Thanksgiving
3) feeling grateful, in spite of a very hard year.
4) turning 31!
Ooh! Birthday girl!
DeleteHappy to hear you are doing so well in AK. My the semester does go soooo freakin fast!
ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty aggressive goals!! I hope your motivation pulls me along. I need to be right there with you, moving forward and getting those papers out. And yoga!
ReplyDeleteOh, yoga-- I have the hardest time fitting that into my week! I guess that shoes it's not really a priority, but I know I would benefit from it. A food journal is a great goal, too! I track mine for a day every month or so just to see how far off track I've gotten, and it (usually) helps motivate me to cut out some of the extra junk. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good; I especially like the boot reward! I need to do that. I bought a Groupon for 90 days of yoga so will probably be activating that soon. I am also running 3 days a week and trying to do some treadmill work on lazy days.
