gearing up for November on purpose

In trying to do something on purpose every day, I found that I sometimes didn't do anything (on purpose or not). I need to focus better.

I did try a couple of recipes in my crockpot and they have helped me eat better. I'm eating more at home and not out as much, which is much better. I've also started tracking my food so I know how much I'm consuming every day. I wanted to start walking (to build a fitness foundation) but it has been raining for two days. I'm a wimp when it comes to walking in the cold, wet rain. I'll get better at it.

I also started getting up earlier (just one hour) and am getting a ton more done in the day! I swear that one hour actually transforms into four by the end of the day, I'm not sure how, but it does! It is a time management miracle.

So, on to November... and being more purposeful in what I do. I have goals! Specific goals. They are a great mix of fitness, time management, budgeting, spiritual, and work.

I won't share all my goals, but here are a couple. I want to walk at least 30 miles in November. I want to climb the stairs on Old Main Hill at least six times. I want to deep clean and declutter my entire house in November (yeah I'm ambitious). I want to live by my budget and not fudge it once! I want to finish two more scrolls. I want to embroidery a belt pouch. I want to create basket covers for my Needleworkers' Guild ladies. Yeah, I want a lot things.

Especially for November, I want to look for service opportunities every day and making sure every day has a purpose. I can do it!!
