September Goals Revisited

ByLisa Jayne 



Back in the beginning of September I blogged about my goals for the month, with a few little things I wanted to achieve. Now that it’s the beginning of October I thought I’d revisit the goals I set myself to see how I did. 
Go to the gym three times a week
I managed to half achieve this one, sometimes I’d make it three times a week, other times I’d only make it twice. I’m still a regular gym goer so I guess that counts!
Finish my 5K mud run
I’m so pleased with myself that I managed to do this one! A few months ago I couldn’t even run, so the fact I managed to even do this was a big achievement. I did however struggle a bit with some of the obstacles during the run, and did lose my shoes about 4K in, but I finished!
 
Eat healthier
I’ve recently been trying to lose a little weight, and in September I signed up to Slimming World, so I’ve definitely been starting to eat a lot healthier. 
 
Read two books 
I only managed to read one book during September, but that’s one more than I’ve managed the month before!
 
Cook four times a week 
I’ve gone from not cooking at all, to cooking pretty much every day in September, which is helping a lot with the healthy eating!
 
Start saving for a holiday 
Chris and I have never been on holiday together so thought we’d start saving up for a holiday. We managed to save £100 in September, but then due to an unexpected bill we had to use that money so we’re now back to zero. 
Overall I’d say I managed to achieve half my goals in September, which isn’t bad going! I feel like I managed to achieve some big things, like completing my run, and cooking and eating a lot healthier, although I didn’t complete all of my goals. 
 Did you set any goals in September? How did you do?

    It’s been 6 months now since I picked up the keys to my little flat. Hurrah to six months of homeowning! When I first bought my flat I was so excited to start decorating, and even created a whole Pinterest board of inspiration and ideas. I booked a week off work with plans to pick up…

    Thinking Positive

    Currently I’ve been trying to think a little more positively. When you’re having a bad day it’s easy to think of the negatives instead of the positives, but it’s important to motivate yourself if you’re feeling a little down and rubbish. I’ve mentioned it a little on my blog lately, but over the past 3…

    Every Sunday when I sit down to write this post I’m surprised at how quickly the past week has gone, and of course this week has been the same, where is the time going?! It’s already February, and we’re 6 weeks into the year, I swear it was only Christmas the other day! Once again…

    Image courtesy of Lucy  Last month I was invited to spend an evening on a luxury boat sailing down the thames, with a casino aboard thanks to Ladbrookes. I did something that was quite brave for me, I went to an event on my own, where I didn’t know anyone. It doesn’t sound like much, but for someone who’s…

    Once again it’s Friday, hurrah for the weekend. And once again that means Follow Friday. Here’s some of the bloggers/vloggers I’ve been enjoying lately. 1. Futures I found Bex’s blog over a year and a half ago and I’ve been an avid reader ever since. Her blog contains reviews on pretty much everything, there’s lifestyle…

    Every month on the blog I mention my favourite beauty products from the past month, but I never mention anything non-beauty related that’s been a favourite of mine. I decided this month to try something a bit different and talk about a few things that have been my favourite during August. Zest Magazine At the…
