November Goals Check In

November flew by, but the month is officially over! Here's how I did with the goals for the month:

Financial:

• Lock in accountant for 2021 taxes, & research work financial planning benefits. - We have an accountant, but I still need to research the work benefit. 
• Review & revise categories for 2022 budget - nope
• Make $300 in side hustle - I listed one item for the month, so unsurprisingly, didn't make much in side hustle. I closed the month with $67
• Inventory freezer, use up 3 "hard to use" items - yes to both! I used up 2 bags of grilled tomatoes, pizza rolls, & pureed pumpkin.
• Budget for Christmas & ski trip. Finish majority of purchases. - I'm pretty much done with Christmas, but we're still finalizing our ski trip plans. 
• Determine 2022 travel plans & budget - mostly there 

Family:

• Have two dates with M - we went to lunch, & to a winery 
• Have a family adventure - we ran a 5k together, & then made a feast for Thanksgiving. We also decorated for the holidays. 

Fitness/Health

• Fast until lunch 20 days - 13/20 days
• Lose 2 lbs - I'm coming off of a few days of Thanksgiving indulgence, so I'm up 1/2 a lb. Not good!
• 1300 minutes of cardio - However, I crushed the cardio, with 2,450 minutes
• Run 20 miles - I ran just over 11 miles
• 10 strength workouts - almost, 9/10
• Meditate 12 times - I meditated 7 times
• Get at least one massage for back pain - I got two massages, and it's helping my back so much to get back into regular help

Personal

• Find 30 items to donate, give away, or toss - Yes! I gave away a bunch, cleaned out a paper drawer, & then tossed things that no one wanted. It was nice to make some progress, after a few slow months on the decluttering front. 
• Try two new recipes - I tried a new dessert recipe, & a new muffin recipe. Neither were worth trying again, but were okay. 
• Write for 30 minutes - I didn't write at all. I'm trying to get my groove back, with reading more & watching less shows. I go through spurts, where I won't watch a show for months, & then I binge for weeks. My library app has been really error prone lately, which has led to frustration & show watching. I'm trying to resolve that, and download a bunch of books when it's working, so I have plenty of content. 
• Get together with friends 2x - I had dinner & drinks with coworkers (one who is a good friend) & met another friend for a hike

Plenty of room for improvement there, but setting goals monthly helps me stay on track & focus on my priorities. How did you do with your goals for the month?
