October Goals Revisited


At the beginning of October I blogged about my goals for the month. Since then October seems to have completely whizzed by, and now it’s November I can completely focus on all things Christmas! While I’ve been really busy this past month, I’ve completely forgotten what I set out to achieve in October, so now’s a good a time as any to look what and see if I’ve achieved my goals!


Lose half a stone
Ha no. I found myself struggling with my Slimming World group, and felt like I had no support at all, so decided to leave. I’ve now changed group, run by the lovely Em, so I’m hoping things will change soon!


Read two books
I actually managed this one! I haven’t read a book properly in what feels like a long time, so to have managed to read two this month feels like an achievement!


Get into a regular gym routine
Nope. With me and a friend I go to the gym with having been ill a lot this month, our personal training sessions have been delayed, and I haven’t managed to get to the gym any other time. 


Finish my current knitting project
Sadly not. With a super busy month, and a lot of my evenings spent either at the gym or doing some extra work, I haven’t had much of a chance to do my knitting. Hoping to work on lots more crafts with Christmas coming up!


Try some new recipes 
I have! I’ve cooked some really lovely things over the past month, and I’ve developed a new love for my slow cooker and making curries!


If you had any goals for October have you managed to achieve them?

    The past week has been a crazy up and down ride for me. After three long years, I finally finished my degree and handed in my dissertation on Thursday.

  • Christmas Candles

    This Christmas I’m really into burning festive smelling candles. In fact, I sat burning a few, watching Christmas films whilst I did all my Christmas wrapping. I’ve always been a bit of a scented candle addict, but there’s a few that I’ve found very fitting for this time of year. As I have a few favorites this year…

    I love October, I think it’s one of my favourite months. It’s where everything starts feeling like autumn, and things start to get colder. Now that I have my own flat I can’t wait to start buying cosy blankets, and dare I say it, getting ready for Christmas!  Similar to last month I’ve set myself…
