Today I’m recapping my October goals and listing my November goals.  As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals. 



October Goals

Y  Drink 64 oz. water most days. 

Y  Close all rings on my Apple Watch 21 days. 

N  Aim to average 10,000/steps per day. – Even though, I went well over 10K steps for a lot of days, I had a few verrrry lazy days that ruined my average so I ended up averaging 9,799 per day.
