I am going to start Rachel Hollis's last 90 days challenge (its FREE if anyone wants to join me!). I really really want to follow through so I am mentally preparing myself to buckle down and get going.
I just signed up for this, too. The journals are sold out...
This is what I need to focus on!! I did see your post yesterday, but it did not register until re-reading today. I was laying in bed last night thinking the same thing- just not as organized. The month of September is rough for me. It seems like every birthday is this month, the last hoorah of summer, beginning of football (this is big in the south), etc. I was mentally preparing to make a "I have been a slack@$$" post today and declaring October 1 as my recommitment day.
LETS DO THIS!!!

I am with @Beka3695, My B-day is this weekend and I plan on celebrating sensibly, I plan on a few cocktails, 1 B-day dessert and 1 nice meal out. But there is no reason I can't get in my 5 mile walks a day. I am looking forward to a CLEAN October and I will 100% commit September 30. 8 weeks till vacation in sunny Florida when it will be cold and dreary in Ohio. I should be down at least 10 pounds, setting a 1 pound week goal (or more) and a lot of toning and walking.3

Man, now there is 3 people in Ohio in our group!!
@corporatelawmom is by Columbus I believe.
I am just north of Cincinnati.
@machchic , excuse me if I asked before, but where are you?0 -

I'm definitely in for October too. I like the idea of a silly October team name. I'll try to come up with something.3

With all the fall shows starting next week, I have to make sure I am not a couch potato and binge watch the shows I pvr. Also, the meds maybe increasing my appetite and I am mindlessly eating, I do need to log it all.
So I am going to set weekly goals again and share them with you guys. I will check in throughout the week and let you know how I am meeting my goals. I hope this is ok with you all.
My goals for this week:
1. Walk 8500 steps daily except Sundays.
2. Ensure I drink 9 glasses of fluids a day
3. No binge watching tv or Netflix. Limit 2 shows a day.
5. Log to the best of my ability.

Very inspiring goals! Somehow it woke me up. Weekly goals are good for keeping oneself on track but I am guilty of not being consistent in my weekly physical work outs and only focusing on food. May be that's why I am not getting the desired result. Low calories, lack of energy to exercise and low will power against snacks.
Going to post my goals daily here.
Today's Goals:
1. Keeping calories under target. Done!👍
2. Heart point 25 on Google Fit Done👍
3. Exercise 45 min. Not Done.Did 42 minutes fast walk.
Tomorrow's Goals
1. Run 30 min
2. Heart point 35
3. Calories under target.3 -
With us a few days away from a new month... will YOU (yes YOU) be returning for another month with us? If yes, anything you'd like to see differently?
Definitely staying. Leaving this challenge last time cost me dearly so not going to make the same mistake again. Will be more active in group in October.4 -
WEEK 3 STEP CHALLENGE
1st @corriepeic 99,565 steps - WITH ONE DAY MISSING!!!!!
2nd @ngk2000 93,476 steps
3rd @boehle 85,439 steps3 -
I found this on the #last90days site. I think this, or a version of this, is something we can all consider.
Here are the modifications that I will make for myself:
1. No way! I get up a 5 am already! BUT - I will take an hour when first get to my office for myself. I will incorporate exercise (item 2), meditation, and structuring my day/week to come. This time will be electronic device free with the exception of music for exercise.
2. Sure! I should be doing this anyway.
3. I cannot drink 110 oz of water... I will commit to 64.
4. For October, this will be Alcohol*. I included the asterisk because there are a few celebration dates that I will indulge. Those dates are currently 10/12 and 10/20.
5. This I can do. I am not sure that I will post them here everyday, but I will write them down.2 -

Maybe in honor of Shrinking Assets--Shrinktober?2

I do like the shrinktober, also shredtober.1

Shredtober sounds fierce. I like it🙂.1

I will be the one opening the October team threads - y'all decide what you want to call the month and I will name ours that Decide quick, bc I will be opening tomorrow morning.
Don't tell the other teams -- SHHH it's a secret 2 -
I will definitely be staying too! Even though this month was a total fail for me, the "closeness" of a group is what I need to get going. I've really enjoyed getting to know you guys! Thanks for being so kind and accepting. I really mean it!2

ALSO
Shrinking Assets has an open leadership position. If you are interested in becoming the team motivator, please let Julie or me know. The 'official job description' can be found in the initial post on page 1. The quick and easy version is - help keep the team thread active...
Being a motivator or team captain is not very time consuming. Granted, you can make it that way if you want, but it doesn't have to be. Please feel free to reach out to Julie @boehle or myself if you have questions or to toss your hat in the ring.1
