September Goals

If I were to pick the area in my life where I find I struggle the most it would be organization.

I feel (correctly or not) that if I were more organized I’d be able to eat better, work smarter and find time to go to the gym.

So, my September goals are going to focus on being organized.

Now, I’m spending two weeks traveling for work, so I’ll really just have to do the best I can while away, but I’m going to try to be awesome before I go away.

  • Plan all meals for the week before grocery shopping. The Cowboy and I tend to be a bit up in the air on weekends, so I’m excluding these. (below menu starts September 10)
  Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Breakfast Overnight oats Overnight oats Overnight oats Overnight oats Overnight oats
AM Snack Banana Banana Banana Banana Banana
Lunch Chopped chicken salad Chopped chicken salad Chopped chicken salad Chopped chicken salad Chopped chicken salad
PM Snack Energy bites Energy bites Energy bites Energy bites Energy bites
Dinner Tofu
Squash
Cucumbers		 Chicken stir fry Pasta & salad Chicken wraps and salad Anniversary dinner at Rouge
  • Plan exercise for the month including rest days. My half marathon is in just over a month, so running right now is super important. I may not be able to run while I’m away for work, but I do have some fitness DVD’s on my iPad that I’ll work on (September schedule is below; orange = out of town)

 

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

20k run off 5k run 10k run DVD DVD DVD
10k race pace off 5k run 10k run off Drive to Kelowna 3k run
21.1 RACE DAY            

 

  • Prepare a “to do” list for work, weekdays and weekends in advance including all food prep to be completed on Saturday/Sunday so I’m ready to go for the week. (I’ll post this weekends list later on this week).

Compared to other monthly goals this seems shorter and a lot more general, but I think this will really help me to keep it together.
