Moving into November...


It's a little crazy how fast October flew by. I can't believe tomorrow is November already. I got quite a bit accomplished this month, and I'm looking forward to just getting better and better. I've weighed and measured myself, and here are the results:

October 31, 2011
Weight: 142 lbs (8 pounds? I'll take it!)
Waist: 29.5" (Half an inch awesomer!)
Bust: 36 
Upper Arm: 10.75" 
Butt: 38" (Ummm.... not sure what happened here. This better all be muscle)
Thigh: 23" (Sadly it didn't change.)
Calf: 14.5" (A little smaller)

I am pretty proud of myself for all that I've accomplished so far. Yesterday I ran 5 miles and it was a whole lot easier than I was expecting it to be. It's so exciting to watch myself improve. I'm not where I want to be yet though. Let's review my October goals and see how close I came. 

OCTOBER GOALS:
  • Lose 5 pounds - Better yet: 8!
  • Workout 5 days a week - Not quite. I've been doing about 4 days a week.
  • Run 3 times a week - I didn't start out the month doing this, but I stepped it up!
  • Train for a 10k - How about a half marathon!
  • Lose atleast an inch off my thighs - Didn't accomplish this. 
  • Tone up my stomach - Nope.
  • 8 cups of water a day - Very sadly no.
  • Only 1 cup of coffee a week - I'm a coffeeaholic. Definitely need to work on this.
  • Read more/Watch less TV - Half done. I've been watching less TV, but not reading.
  • Always go to bed with a clean house - Getting better at this, but not perfect yet!

And based on those, here are my current goals for this month:

NOVEMBER GOALS:
  • Lose another 5 pounds
  • Workout 5 days a week (running 3 of them)
  • Sign up for a half marathon
  • Lose an inch off my thighs
  • Tone up my stomach
  • 8 cups of water a day
  • Always go to bed with a clean house
  • Eat a good breakfast every morning
  • Slowly cut out coffee by the end of the month
  • Read one book this month
Do you have any specific goals you want to meet this month?

  2. Your doing amazing Kara! How's November going? I bet it'll be hard along with December. Holidays tend to be far too full of good food. ;)
