Why hello September! How did you get here so quickly? This past month was pretty awesome, to be perfectly honest.
In August I…
- Gave my two weeks notice and started a new job
- Visited my brother in Las Vegas
- Attended the Healthy Living Summit in Philadelphia
- Was in the Express Newspaper for my Crazy Commute
- Experienced an earthquake in Washington, DC
- Went through Hurricane Irene
August Goals
- Get back into my normal morning routine: Woop Woop!
- Go to spin class every Tuesday and Thursday: I went at least once a week…
- Create a 15 K training program for Neal and I: Yeppers! Check it out!
- Enjoy my three weeks off from graduate school: You know it!
- Begin integrating weight lifting into my weekly routine: Not really. I lifted here and there but was not consistent
September Goals
- September Mantra: “Plate Produce First”! I want to live out this mantra this month with the goal of eating more fruits and veggies each meal. I want at least 1/2 of my plate to be filled with fruits or veggies, leaving 1/4 for protein and 1/4 for carbs.
- Rock the house on my 15K training program!
- Read The Flexitarian Diet (Dawn is amazing by the way!!)
- Be productive with graduate work on weekdays in order to enjoy the weekends with Neal and friends.
- Have my first giveaway on Coffee Cake and Cardio!
- Try one new recipe each week
What are your goals for September?
Filed under: Monthly Goals |
Coffee Cake and Cardio 
I’m really working on introducing new meals into our weeknight dinners. Really looking outside the box and getting out of this food rut! Great goals! 🙂
My goals are:
-Maintain a healthy work/life balance when I go back to work near the end of the month (this includes the keeping my morning gym routine!).
-Do a new budget (ours goes out the window during the summer because we travel so much).
-Plan an amazing birthday party for my soon to be one year old!
I just blogged about my September goals too!! I’m with you on the one new recipe a week. Too many food ruts! I’m also training for a 15K but it’s not till December so I’m starting my official training plan in October.
Congrats on accomplishing your August goals 🙂
Cute picture collage!
Love the action mantra;)
Ooo this is awesome. I definitely want/need to make my monthly goals!
I love your goals “Plate Produce First” and “Try one new recipe each week”
During August I decided to try one new recipe a week and ended up making at least 2-3 new ones each week! It has made me appreciate different flavors and tastes soo much more.
Another goal I am working on is buying at least one new vegetable (or one I don’t normally buy) to incorporate into meals. Last week it was Brussels sprouts, this week it’s eggplant!
