I'm again late on this, but it really helps me to complete my goals at the end of each month, & see how I did. While not perfect, October was a pretty good month on all fronts except... fitness. Menopause is kicking my b*tt, and I'm not enjoying it. I've oddly gained weight in my upper midsection, and it's making all of my clothes not fit. I know I need to make pretty significant adjustments to my nutrition/calorie intake, but luckily my fitness routine is good & I'm focused on strength training as well, which is super important as we age.
Anyway, here's how I did this month.
Financial:
- Sort out 529 contribution + match - done
- Figure out fitness reimbursement - $480 submitted, done
- Meal plan & use up 3 freezer/pantry items - used up chicken & dumplings, + 3 containers of chicken broth, & bonus points for cleaning & organizing the pantry
- Start planning for 2026 budget - planning has begun
Family:
- Get Nick's Thanksgiving flights sorted - done
- One date night with M - lunch + couples massage for our 20th anniversary!
- Start planning post Christmas trip - have sent initial plans + reservations
- Have an amazing 20th anniversary with M - yes!
Fitness:
- Lose 2 lbs - gained 1 lb
- Get back to regular fitness check ins - started at the beginning of the month & fell off by the end
- 15 & 15 (stretch & No S days) - 14 & 7
- Run a 10k - yes, & felt great
- Average 12,500 steps/day - 11,881
Personal:
- Successfully complete huge work project - yes, went really well & got great feedback
- Get together with friends x2 - lots of hikes, walks + trip to Las Vegas
- Finish planning concert trip - yes, and it was amazing
- Have an awesome long weekend with my sister + BFF + Brunch with my parents - yes, fabulous
- Say yes to adventure & trying new things - nothing really came up
- Continue to work on work/life balance - took a day off & thoroughly enjoyed it
- Declutter 50 items - 89/50
- Work on travel planning & budget - yes, lots of great progress on both of the trips (NZ & Greece)
