Careful with running injuries! Take as much time as you need to rest and heal. Do you have an ankle support sleeve that you can use when running? For me, running injuries always take FOREVER to heal, and if I'm not careful I re-injure myself. Hopefully, you're a better, faster healer than I am!
(P.S. I used to get injured all the time, and then I started weight training to supplement. Haven't had an injury since and it's been several years. Getting stronger also helped my pace.)0 -
Didn't realize I'd gone so long without updating! Busy week, but I did get in weights twice and a hike once. Also maintained protein goals!
Labor Day goal: not sure if biking, hiking or swimming - but some physical activity will be done!
Week goal: Get my crazy, out-of-whack sleep schedule back on track!0 -
To eat, drink, and be merry! This is the last day of a 10 day vacation for me, I ended my diet season Saturday with a 5k race so I'm enjoying a guilt free binge for a couple of days!1

I didn't do any of those things. Instead, I ran 7 miles. The weather was perfect! 0 -
Drink more water and make sure my dinner doesn't exceed 500 calories which should leave me with a sizeable calorie deficit1
-
Keep under (but close to) my calorie goal; work out after work; and work on my posture.1

Heading into fall so I have to alter my habits, otherwise I get into a funk with the change of seasons. It's gear-switching time! Looking forward to positive outcomes. I have a history of having very productive, happy fall seasons whenever I make these changes. And the opposite when I don't...ugh.
So far, my goals for the entire week (and all coming weeks for the fall and winter) are:
1. Work on getting at least 7 solid, uninterrupted hours of sleep each day. (Hopefully more than that.)
2. Get some purposeful physical activity (aka exercise) every day. <-- challenging
3. Drink 8 cups of water minimum per day. <-- easy
4. Increase protein, decrease sugars - already changed my MFP macros in my food diary to make this easier to track.
ETA: All goals met today!

Today: Incline walking on treadmill.
Tomorrow: Mountain biking.0 -
-Go out tonight and don't have any drinks
-Get lots of sleep. No alarms. Walk the puppy extra so she doesn't complain when I sleep in.
-Complete my log (start to finish of my day) before I go to bed1 -
Today's Goal: To the gym for cardio - not sure what yet, probably incline walking on the treadmill since I'm worn out today. But I'll get it done!
Tomorrow: Weights day!

@jenilla1
You continue to amaze me!! I really LOVE YOUR ON GOING GOALS!!
I always very in to a funk when the seasons change but never tried to alert any thing much except for layering up, which unfortunately, I just discovered. (My ribs used to hurt all winter from shaking.)
I am definitely going to sit and think about making fall/winter goals!

@jenilla1 and the rest of the thread.
Sorry I've been absent. I have been just off. Can't seem to keep my goals. I am really going to focus! Being fitness conscious held keep my mind clear and I definitely need that.
I also have been on Facebook more and it is taking up my phone time. I don't have a set time, but after being on Facebook, then getting on here, seems like a lot of time wasted and I have been skipping this one. Now that is a big mistake since this actually helps my life.
So I'm going to cut my Facebook usage back to where it used to be and come back here.
All of your goals helped pull me back here because you may not see my goals but I was still here reading you're just about every day. Keep up the great work! You never know who you're inspiring!1 -
Just discovered this post. Love it!
Goals for today (wedged around working a 10 hour shift!):
Attend my first 45 minute spinning class (usually have only done 30 minute classes)
Stick under my calorie goal
Update my journal
Drink 2 litres of water
Get an early night

Goals beget more goals, so even if you just have some cheesy little goal, completing it gives you than "win" and encourages you to do even more. Well, at least that's how it works for me! And I just love to pat myself on the back for a job well done - no matter how trivial.
Don't even stress about having an "off" time. What happens, happens. Just redirect yourself back to where you want to be headed when you find yourself getting off track. Nobody's perfect. If you have too many goals at once or goals that might be unmanageable at the moment, you can get overwhelmed easily. That might cause avoidance behavior. Just have fun with it. Obviously, you should try to meet your goals (otherwise, what's the point?) but don't beat yourself up or go into a funk when you don't meet them. And keep checking in, even if it's just a couple of minutes. It will reinforce your focus.
The only thing that keeps me from turning into a useless slug this time of year is exercise. Keeps my spirits and energy up during a lethargic time of the year. Maybe you could trick yourself into it by telling yourself you can only get on Facebook while you're exercising (like if you do treadmill or stationary bike or something you could safely do while goofing around online.) Not sure if that would work for you.
Maybe you need some fun goals, too, like trying something new this weekend, going somewhere you've never been before, tasting a fruit or vegetable you've never tried before, etc. Being inquisitive and open to new experiences is great for your mental health and fitness, so those kinds of things should count as health and fitness goals too, I think...
P.S. I tried parsnips. Hated them.
But I tried them... 0 -

@jenilla1
Thank you for your response. It means a lot to me.
What you have suggested are great ideas!!
I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. 
And I will definitely challenge myself on being in my phone.
I am mostly on it playing Candy Crush Soda Saga. 
It really relaxes me, but having a clean house and dinner cooked relaxes me even more
But thank you again!! I can feel your energy pumping me up from here!
