October challenge — 2024

It’s a new month and I want to set a challenge for myself. There are five things I want to challenge myself to do daily. These are things I have been doing since October 1st and I hope to continue all month.

  • Workout everyday — whether it’s a strength workout, or a 10 minute walk
  • Cut out sodas
  • Limit junk food
  • Eat more fruits and veggies
  • Journal

I have let myself get unfit. I used to workout every day and have an okay diet. I didn’t really drink soda or eat many snacks, but for the last year others have been stocking the house with both of those things. Since it’s been there, I’ve been eating and drinking it.

I do have the goal to lose a little of my body fat, but the main goal is for me to feel better. I have felt so crappy lately. I know it’s because of the things I’m consuming and the lack of me working out. I’ll check in at the end of the 30 days to give an update. I want to make these a habit. I don’t expect to feel completely different in 30 days, but I hope there’s at least a little change.

Wish me luck.

Working out helps ease my anxious mind.

October Recap [2019]

I can’t believe it is already the end of October! It’s been a few weeks since I have posted, and I apologize for that.  However! I am hopefully back. These next few posts will be somewhat October related – although some will be after October is over.

Here’s a recap of my favorites this October:

Favorite book: The Scotch Series

It’s actually three books, but when I read them, it was online, and they all blended together. Sadly, this is the only thing I read this month. I am going to try to start reading more. I really recommend this series though – unless you could possibly get triggered by rape-related things. (Rape does not actually happen, but I still would not recommend if it is a trigger.)

Favorite movie: Coraline

I had never seen this before, but I like it. It is quite creepy but intriguing.

Favorite TV show: The Originals

Favorite song: “Panic Attack” by Scotty Sire

Favorite drink: Pumpkin Spice Latte

Favorite place: Martin, TN

Favorite app: Trello (I’ll do another post talking about this app – among others.)

Favorite memory: My best friend and I carved pumpkins. I carved a vampire, and she carved what I call a “basic white girl.” I’ll post the pictures in “October in Photos.”
