I know its still July but im wondering what everyones August goals are.

Mine is-
No pop. at all.
lose 8 pounds (a bit much, maybe. but i think im holding a lot of water weight from pop, tea, etc)
WALK 50 miles.
gym at least 5x a week.
and count calories (something i do not currently do) at least 5x/wk. (no- that does not mean i have 2 cheat days. or even one for that matter.)

    Miss Sarah - own those by putting accomplishable goals with them. If you can't measure it, you can't do it!!! i.e. 30 minutes of cardio 4 days per week without fail for whole month and less than 1000 calories of refined carbs in any week during August...

    I usually do not set goals but I have some plans for August.

    1) Go to the gym at least 2 times a week,
    2) Lose some pounds. I have been at the same weight since April. Actually I gained extra pounds which I later lost.

    I want to carry on logging honestly,

    Walk for 30 min for 5 days a week at least.

    Do more vigorous exercise 4-5 times a week.

    Slowly upping my cals as I was on 1200 and have read enough to realise its too low. (now on 1300 and planning on upping it more every few weeks).

    And generally be a happy person :):)

    I'm doing a challenge with other employees - collecting points for doing daily things, and whoever gets the most points wins $25!

    My August goals:
    5-9 servings of veggies and fruits
    60 minutes daily of walking, stair stepping, and/or other cardio
    30-60 minutes daily strength training (planning on alternating upper and lower body)
    64 ounces of water daily

    My goal is to keep working out once I go back to work.
    Run 3x
    Weight training every other day
    Hike on the weekend

    Teaching all day sucks the energy right out of you by the end of the day.
