One Year Going on Seven
It seems like with a new milestone in life the speed of life picks up just a little bit more. This past year has absolutely gone by at full speed, but it has been an awesome first year of marriage to Mr. H! It hasn’t been until this year that I’ve even thought about how long it feels like we’ve been together. We are quickly approaching seven years since that first encounter with each other and just days after that our very first date! 🙂
We’ve had so many good memories together and there are so many more to come! I am one very lucky, lucky lady!
September Report Card
Teal –
1. Clean out the back bedroom. Just look at this mess. Enough said and now I am sufficiently embarrassed!
B-: even though it looks like I actually did nothing I did a bunch, hence the decent grade. I got a lot of crap moved out, donated, or reorganized into another room but in the process I moved more things in here. I really need to deal with the fact that my house has no storage and toss some stuff but I am still working on finding homes for things. I’ll continue but I have made progress.
2. Join Soul Motivation yoga and go 2 times per week. I used to do yoga at 24 Hour Fitness with the guy (Joseph) who now owns Soul Motivation. He left 24 Hour obviously but I have so missed him. It’s pretty far from my house but it’s worth it. Just need to get my butt up there.
B-: Apparently I like this grade today. I am not going to join now because I haven’t been able to actually get there. It’s kinda far from my house and its smack dab in the middle of 635 construction (I’m thinking summer time) and I leave work at all weird hours, I decided to buy his DVD’s. I have heard awesome things about them from his former yogis, so I figured I would try that instead for now. I am still going to try and make the Friday community classes for just $5 and the occasional Saturday for $7 if my dad lets me off early from work! I just got the DVDs yesterday so I’ll let you know how they go!
3. Make healthy popsicles! I am in a search for healthy popsicle recipes! I know summer is basically over but its Texas so I still have awhile! I bought super cool Popsicle molds like a month ago and have not even attempted to use them. This must change!
A: Made them and they are good, kinda tart but good.
(one cup plain Greek yogurt, one pint blueberries, one cup of strawberries, juice of 5 lemons, tablespoon of honey- mix in blender, poor in container, freeze, eat) You can probably use less of each thing because I actually had about a cup too much for my containers.

1. Our house is still a work in progress obviously and I’m pretty positive every month for awhile I could work on a new house project. This month my house project is to actually make window treatments for at least one window. I have fabric for two and then remember I wanted to make some for a third window as well. So I’m starting small with one window and hope I actually accomplish more.
F: My windows are still verrrrryy lonely! 🙁
2. Read two books. On goodreads I set a challenge of reading 26 books this year and have been on track or ahead by just a liiiittle bit all year long. Need to keep that up. I also joined a book club a couple of months ago, so I’ll be reading Serena by Ron Rash as one of my books to be ready for our next meeting!
A+: I did it! I read two books except they weren’t the ones I told you about. Ha! Since we posted our goals so late into the month I’d already let my mind forget about the book club book I read for our meeting in early September. We read Table for Seven by Whitney Gaskell for our September meeting so that was book number 1. The second book I read before diving into October’s book (Serena) was The Likeness by Tana French. I read her first book a couple of years ago and I keep trying to spread them out so I don’t run out of Tana French books to read. 🙂 Am I the only dork that does this??
3. YOGA!! Still with the goals and needing to get them done!
B-: I’ve still been though I did slack off in the last week of September hence the somewhat lower score! 🙂
October Goals
Don’t worry we’ll let you know how we did on those September goals soon, but in an effort to not delay putting out there what we want to accomplish in October we are getting these goals out there to the world. Time to get busy!
Teal –
1. Log food in myfitnesspal EVERYDAY. You should follow me! I will follow you, we can keep each other accountable! I am teal0906 on there. 🙂
2. Wake up 4 mornings per weekday and workout, even if it is just 30 minutes. Choose 1 day to take off.
3. Prep meals. I use to do this religiously and haven’t… hence the Mexican food twice in one day!
4. Minimum of 64oz of water daily. I need more because I am so active but I am not even getting 64… must fix.
5. If I am going to eat a cookie it can only be 1 and when I say cookie I also mean any other sugary treat that I feel like I can’t live without. Just 1, not 4, not 7, not the entire box, just 1. I say this because if I say absolutely no to these treats I really will eat them all.

1. Pretty much since I’m in that book club now and I have a reading goal for this year on goodreads.com I’m just going to make y’all read every month about my goals. I’m super pumped because the third book in the Divergent series comes out this month and I canNOT wait to read it! 🙂 So this will at least be one of my two books to read this month.
2. I’m still working towards an organized home… 🙂 Will I ever accomplish this? I have a collection of boxes in three different places right now and my goal is to go through them, throw things away and either put the leftovers in the attic or some other place they can live.
3. This goal basically let’s you know I did not meet a goal last month, so again this month I shall make a window treatment for at least one of the three windows in my house I have fabric to do said project! I’m going to do it!
4. Yoga! Is it annoying that I keep just repeating goals?! I really want to make sure I’m getting in yoga during my marathon training because I know it’ll be soooo beneficial come December 8th when I’m taking on those 26.2 miles at Dallas Marathon!
What are you trying to accomplish this month??
