Goals for Sepember

Alright, folks, it's August 31st. How did you do meeting last month's goals? :)

So, it's time for another round of goal-making.

30 days in September. 4 weeks and 2 days :)

How are you going to ensure that you're going to be a healthier,  fitter, and, hopefully, thinner you by September 30th?

Let's hear your process-based goals for September.

Mine are:
1) So I just joined the Washington Sports Club and on September 1st, I'm going to work with a personal trainer to develop a weight lifting routine. I want to be doing this weight lifting routine 3 or 4 times a week (with 48 hours rest between exercises)
2) I'm going to plot myself out a 3 mile course and start trying to run it and best my time. I would LIKE to be able to run 3 miles in under 45 minutes by the end of September
3) I'm going to stay on top of my eating and continue to attempt to eat good, whole foods.

That's my September goals. What are yours? :)

Goals for September

1. Lose 5 lbs, 156 lbs by the end of the month
2. Increase water, think I've been slacking on this lately, at least 2 liters a day
3. Increase protein
4. Look into alternative exercise and be more consistant with it.  Although I have been exercising more than before I want to keep increasing the amount I do.  More classes to keep my interest and indoor things so I'm in the habit of them by the time the cold and snow hit

1. Exercise:

    - Running: increase to 4 miles, in hopefully 40 minutes.

    - Focus on stregthening my abs (got a new DVD!)

2. Eating:

    - Stick with being in 500-800 cal deficit 6 days of the week, and maintenance 1 day/week

    - Keep (slowly) incorporating "better" foods into my repertoire

3. Weight:

    - Lose 1 lb/week (so, down to 129 by the end of September)

Hey, I missed this post in August.

Sept. goals:

Sick to around 1200 calories every day for the entire month.

I want to get to my goal weight.
August made it possible, September is the time to do it.

I don't set monthly goals for weight or exercise.  I just try to do my best each day to eat right and exercise appropriately according to my own needs.  At the end of the month I compare the numbers and see how I did.

I don't do well competing, even if it's only with myself.  I can't take the pressure.

Goals for September:

1. Keep my calories around 1300 - 1500
2. Pedal my rear off on my stationary bike at least 3 times a week.
3. Continue Monday Night Yoga (I like I goal I can meet!)
4. Stay hydrated (even on weekends)
5. Which hopefully will lead to a weight of 215 or less by Sept 30. 

September Goals:

1. Try for 1200-1300 cals but don't exceed 1500.
2. Hopefully lose 5 lbs.
3. Exercise for at least 20 min, at least 3 days a week.
4. Drink more water.  (I haven't been doing too bad with this.)
5. Quit smoking!!!!

By the end of September, I'll be 4 weeks into the Couch-to-5k running plan (Technically I'm starting it on Sunday the 3rd).  I just need to find a good sports bra by then, as I don't want to give myself black eyes when I run ;)

I also hope to be good on and around my birthday (the 21st), since there will be plenty of drinking and going out with different people.  I'll be 25!  I plan on at least staying within my 2300 cals/day so I don't GAIN any weight those days.  If I just happen to lose some, even better.

My goals are to continue to lose one pound a week, eat 1200-1500 calories a day, drink 100 oz of water a day, and exercise 5-6 days a week (walk, elliptical, swim, etc) which will be more difficult now that I am back to work :-) Once I get use to my work schedule, I would like to add strength training to my routine in about a month or so.

My big goal for September is to incorporate all I've learned into my "regular" life.  Summer was so relaxing with no responsibilites so it was a good time to start, but now as life picks up and school goes back, I will put myself on my to-do list and make sure MY needs are met.  Goals as follows:

1.  See the number 169 on my scale (currently 173)

2.  Exercise 6 days a week

3.  Log my food

4.  Re-evaluate my activity level as I become busier

5.  Drink 8 large glasses (at least) of water a day

6.  Incorporate some health info into my homeschooling program so that my kids benefit from my new knowledge

*bump*

Goal:

• Continue drinking at least 2 L of water a day
• Bike at least 3 miles, 4 days a week
• Maintain my calories between 1200-1500 everyday
  

I'm not sure how I did last month, I lost the 4 pounds that I aimed for, but gained 3 back with ttom came around a couple days ago.  Maybe it's just water weight, but hopefully I can get to my goal weight this month.

Goal for September:

1.  Lose 6 pounds to reach 122 lbs

2.  Exercise 4 times a week

3.  Eat no more than 1350 cals a day

4.  Incorporate more fish and nuts into my diet

5.  Drink less soda :p

Well mine are

Walk 3 times a week or more ( with out kids )

Know what I'm eating. Eat more fruit.

Drink more water.

Strech every day, and do situps.

NO second helpings of dinner.

I'm just starting small. Don't want to scare myself away.

Goals for September:

1.) Visit the fitness center at the ice rink; find out about membership fees and services

2.) Look into karate lessons for the tall child

3.) Go ice skating at least once in September

4.) Retain the following habits:

• Drinking at least 80 oz of water 5 out of 7 days
• Using a restroom one floor up or down at least twice every day I'm at work
• Eating fewer than 1750 calories five out of seven days a week (unless overage is offset by activity)
  
  

I have a ton of goals, but I am shooting for these:

1. Be able to paint my toenails without difficulty.
2. Lose 10 pounds by 9/30 (should make #1 easy).
3. Attend H2O yoga 2x/wk and deepwater aquacise 2x/wk. (to help with #2)
4. Take vitamins everyday.
