November Challenges and Goals

A few fun challenges for myself this month!

1. Nate and I are doing this Plank Challenge for the month of November.  It's going to hurt!  But hopefully be effective.  The thought of holding a plank for 5 whole minutes doesn't seem doable right now, but that's not going to stop me.  I never thought ANY of the running I'm doing right now was possible.  I love that I have learned this life lesson. I hope you have, too!



2. I have made a goal that is a little over the top, so I'm only going to try it for ONE week.  Then I'll see how I feel next week and go from there.  My goal is to eat 8-9 servings of veggies every day.  My reasons for doing this are simply to be healthier.  I want to see if I feel a difference after a week.  I'm NOT cutting out junk or desserts, but I will be automatically cutting out a lot of sugar and processed foods just by eating sauteed or steamed veggies for breakfast.  I'm going to keep a food log all week, so maybe I'll post that in a week and let you know how it went!

I'm making this on Tuesday morning, and I cannot wait!  Isn't it gorgeous?  Roasted beets, carrots & potatoes with eggs.  YUM!



3. No soda.  This is more for Nate than for me, but he's been "clean" for 2 weeks now.  I enjoy the occasional Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke, but Nate was drinking Coke alllll the time at his work.  I'm proud of him for wanting to do better.  But I will be drinking a DP on December 1.  :)

I cannot stand veggies!! Gosh, I'd rather each soooo many fruits!! I wish I loved veggies.

Also, the no soda thing is incredible. I'm going on 5 years with no soda!! I did it cold turkey too. It was super hard the first year, but now I don't even think about when I'm eating out, or grocery shopping. Water, milk, juice or lemonade does just fine. especially water:)

these are awesome goals! I love the plank one, maybe I'll do it with you!
