Well it has been yet another lovely month, I can’t believe that it is November already, not long until Christmas now!

Favourite outfit from this month – my vintage dress!

At the start of the month I had set myself a few goals including getting my diet on track, reducing coffee down a bit and meditating more. I feel like I’ve done pretty well with these although there is definitely room for improvement. I have meditated but could do with giving myself the space to do this more. I have also dropped my coffee consumption down to about three / four times a week. We have also made a start on decorating by starting to clear out a lot of the clutter ready for actually getting down to business this month.

For me, October has been all about the pumpkin and squash! I just can’t get enough…

I’ve enjoyed pumpkin spice smoothies, pumpkin scrambles, pumpkin oats and pumpkin protein pudding not forgetting my Thai Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup!

I’ve also posted recipes for Squash and Chard Frittata, High Protein Spelt Wrap and 3 Ingredient No Bake Protein Bars. I definitely think I enjoy my food at this time of year more than any other!

Earlier in the month I gave you a bit of an update on how things are going for me on a more personal level in my Baby I was born this way post:

In that post I talked about eating meat again and this month I have enjoyed experimenting with wild salmon, organic chicken and organic beef, all of which seem to be suiting me pretty well.

October Faves

Here’s a little vid with a few of my October faves – and some random mumblings as usual ;-)

As I say in the vid, I have set up a Products I Love Pinterest Board where I can add my favourite products with a mini review. I realised that there are a lot of products and brands I swear by and that would be a good way for me to share them with you and keep notes for myself!

November

Oh November I do love you but you are going to be a busy one for me! I have some major things happening this month including:

• A very exciting trip to London next week – I can not wait to tell you all about that!
• Redecorating the flat
• Moving offices at work
• Running a weekend programme for a local youth council
• Hopefully getting KHGS redesigned!
• Preparing for Christmas and all that comes with it
• Continuing with my IIN studies

With all of that going on, my goal for November is a pretty simple one:

• Do my best and chill!

If I manage to achieve all of those things above while remaining sane and keeping my daily healthy practices in tact I will be more than satisfied!

How has October been for you? Do you have any goals for November?

p.s I’ve been seriously falling behind on responding to comments recently. I always strive to respond to every single comment, but at the moment its just not possible – please just know I read and value every single one and will try and keep on top of it as best I can :-)

Well what a lovely month it has been! September has been filled with some good stuff, most of all our holiday to Brighton…

I also did my Reiki course, practiced some self reflection and had a great blogger meet up, in fact I met up with 4 other bloggers this month which was great :-)

I’ve did really well against the goals I set myself at the start of the month, the IIN course is going really well and things with the business are progressing steadily.

I also blogged a couple of lovely recipes for Amaretto Stone Fruit Crumble and Harissa Spiced Chickpeas and Courgettes with Lemon Tahini Sauce as well as some info on blending coffee with a fat source such as coconut oil or tinned coconut milk. And I can’t forget to mention my vlog with my top organisation tips!

I have another little vlog for you today with my September favourites, if you watch until the end I also have a little thank you message for all you lovely readers :-)

October

Now that autumn is in full swing I’m looking forward to really enjoying all it has to offer! I’m hoping that I might be able to pick up some good autumn produce from the farm shop and market this week and of course I can not wait until Halloween, bring on the pumpkin :-)

My goals for this month include:

• Really focus on getting my diet back on track – I have a few issues that need addressing and nutrition is the place to start!
• Make a start on getting our living room decorated
• Meditate more
• Start saving for Christmas
• Continue studying hard on my nutrition course, making progress with my business stuff and journaling

I have several issues that I really want to get sorted in October via better nutrition. First of all I’ve been experiencing some problems which I think are linked with stressed adrenals. The fact that my periods are still MIA even though I have gained a considerable amount of weight back (plus more since Brighton) alongside some other symptoms of stress indicate to me that I need to make some changes. I’ve blogged about how sugar makes me feel before and I really need to reduce it down as well as my coffee intake. I only drink 1 mug of coffee a day but I feel really jittery when I do have it so I’m going to have to really reduce it unfortunately. Meditating more often should also help reducing stress. I also feel like I’ve lost the rhythm I had going back in May / June time with my eats and since I’ve had holidays and birthdays and I’d like to get that back!

We would also like to start making progress with getting our living room decorated while also trying to save some money for Christmas (not quite sure how I’m going to tackle that one!) as well as keeping up the momentum with everything else I have going on too!
