A rip in the Spacetime Continuum? October review and November goals
Happy World Vegan Day everyone!
I think everyone is saying this at the moment, but time really is passing so quickly this year. I can’t believe its the 1st of November already, in fact we’ve been joking at work that there must have been a rip in the Spacetime Continuum! October has been an interesting month to say the least, with James job situation it was stress city around here for a while! However it has all gone good in the end and overall October has been a great month. I’ve done well against all the goals I set for myself, and actually, I’ve been having a blast!
I’ve done ok on my Big Budget Challenge, its been tough, but I’m finding that it has massively changed my perspective on things and has seriously altered my spending habits!
As its been so focused on my grocery spend, its really made me appreciate eating simpler foods and has helped me to prioritise which ‘health’ foods I still want to spend money on.
I’ve also been feeling super organised! My weekend cook up sessions mean that I can eat really delicious healthy and cheap meals during the week without having to stress out in the kitchen.
I’ve blogged quite a few recipes for Vegan Mofo as well, and have enjoyed some truly delicious seasonal food this month, I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed my food more so than now:
I’ve stuck to my training plan and have progressed really well, especially in my strength training.
I’ve gained a touch more weight and I’m really feeling pretty well balanced right now. I’ve still had a couple of times when I’ve eaten too much on an evening, but I’m practising kindness and not beating myself up about it when it happens – after all I think having a couple of snack fests is normal! I’m still trying to eat a bit more intuitively by honouring my cravings, and generally this is helping to reduce over eating. I’m also loving the balance I have between raw and cooked foods – I definitely feel like I’m hitting my ‘sweet spot’ in terms of eating foods that are not only delicious, but are nourishing my body and mind as well!
In November I’d like to:
- Have lots of fun! This month I have my best friends 80’s themed 30th Birthday Party and I’m hoping to have everyone round on Saturday night for a Bonfire night get together
- Continue the Big Budget Challenge
- Keep up with my training plan and enjoy the ‘set back’ week that will be coming up in the middle of the month
- Try and get a couple more assignments completed for my Diet and Nutrition course (I’m almost finished!)
- Coordinate bloggers Secret Santa!
- Start to get organised for enjoying Christmas on a budget this year
- Get my bedroom and living room decor updated finally!
