November marks the beginning of the holiday season, which means that I am dreaming of turkey, stuffing, hot chocolate, whipped cream, and pretty much anything decadent and warm. This is when my physical activity really plummets because it's too dark and cold in the morning and too dark and cold at night. My main goals this November have to do with staying focused this holiday season:
- Lithe at least 4 times a week- Lithe Method is my new obsession. It is a cheerleading-cardio hybrid class. Think cheerleading, bootcamp, barre method, and pilates rolled into one!
- Get more sunlight- I am a firm believer in the power of some good ol' vitamin D to improve your health
- Make at least 3 new squash dishes- I looove roasted butternut squash but I want to branch out and experiment with some acorn squash and spaghetti squash
- Try a kettlebell workout- I have a kettlebell at home but I've never used it!
- Learn crow pose in yoga- I love yoga but I am not very good at it. This month I want to push myself to get this move down!
- Complete the Doyouyoga.com 30 Day Yoga Challenge- If you haven't seen the badge, I'm a MyYogaPro Ambassador which is a new project that doyouyoga.com has undertaken. I'm so excited for them to launch MyYogaPro, but in the meantime I want to take their 30 Day Yoga Challenge.
- Live more mindfully- My boyfriend and I recently had this conversation about mindfulness and how the whole point is to be in the moment and believe that the present moment is the best moment of your life. I know I need to be more mindful of things because I spend way too much of my time hoping time will pass quicker and looking ahead to things to come rather than enjoying where I am right now.
