November Goal Wrap Up

Goal 1: Log at least 15 hours of exercise - Only logged a total of 5 hours and 13 minutes this month. Basically did horrible at it.

Goal 2: Weigh 147 pounds (i.e. lose 5 pounds) - I think I have maintained my weight and am still at 152. I was not able to weigh in today, as I am in the process of moving. The Wii and a TV has gotten moved, but neither are hooked up and the balance board has not even gotten over here, yet.

Goal 3: Do Body Test every Monday and last day of the month - Did every Monday until today, which means I also missed today as the last day of month. At least this is one goal I almost did complete.
