Goals for September and August have pretty much become routine so I'm keeping them as habits and setting some new ones!
My goals for October:
Goal 1: Go out Dancing (I LOVE dancing and haven't been out in months!)
Goal 2: Try some more advanced classes to up my exercise routine
Goal 3: I have a work conference 10/9-10/14 and I will be flying/staying out of town in a hotel for 5 nights - my goal is to have meals planned that don't require cooking and I can pick up at the grocery store while there (taking suggestions!!)
I weigh daily and use moving average

September ended quite well within my weight target, but I have been going over my calorie targets pretty consistently over the past few weeks between 100-300 cals over most days.... gotta start watching that and pulling back there I think. I have been more hungry though and the overage isn't too out of line. Will just have to see if it has an ongoing effect and adjust if needed4 -

Wow! It’s only the 4th of October and we’re on page two already!
A bit late checking in as work is just too busy. Had my first PT session in about 10 weeks yesterday. I’m not aching much today but suspect I will be tomorrow! It was good to be pushed a but again. I’m not walking as much as I’d like because the weather is just so awful; lots of rain and we’ve had some really cold days too.
Weigh in this week was a bit high, but I am due on and have had some bloating this week, so am thinking that’s the problem as I haven’t been particularly bad food wise. We'll see next week I suppose!

Slowly edging closer to my overall goal. My October goal is 129. Here are 3 things I am doing:
1) Being more mindful of eating & doing, & just life in general.
2) Saying no more instead of taking on more than I can handle & spiraling into some emotional eating.
3) Celebrating each small gain (in this case loss).6 -

Oct Goal: 126
I’m back into my running program. I don’t really like running, but I love all the benefits of completing the program. I like the calories it burns in such a short amount of time, I love how my thighs slim down into lean muscle, and I really like the endurance and energy that it builds up to. That energy always improves the emotional quality of my life as well as the physical. I’m only finishing up week 3, so I can’t really feel or see the effects yet, but I’m looking forward to them!6 -

Goal #1: maintain between 68 and 70.
Goal #2: restart the pushup challenge, this time with real pushups
Goal #3: keep on logging everything
So, I'm back from my superlong holiday, which kept me away from the scales (which was scary in itself), but I weigh exactly the same as when I left. Lots of parties and diners, but also a lot of diving, so that was a good exercise in maintaining already
I've not been able to bike to work this week as the weather is horrible.
I didn't restart the pushup challenge - no excuse
I did log everything, but then again I ate like a vacuumcleaner, with no mindfulness whatsoever.
So I need to get a grip, I've been there before and this is exactly the point were I normally would slide again. But not this time ! I need to figure out some cardio during the winter months which seem to have started early this year. The logical thing to do is to go the gym, but I don't like it as I'm a real outdoors person. I'll give it a thought though and take a decision before next week. My resting HR is through the roof so something needs to be done.
No exercise + eating without limits = current weight of 71.4

169 cm / 5’5”, 37 y
Overall SW: 76.1 kg / 167.8 lbs (26/Aug/19)
Oct GW: 71.5 kg / 157.6 lbs
Overall GW: 56.5 kg / 124.5 lbs
Goal #1: 3 out of 7 days per week no extra treats like chocolate, cookies, or so.
Goal #2: No alcohol during the week, only weekends.
Goal #3: Running group stopped, keep it going on my own at least 2x per week.
Theme: baby steps.
01/Oct/19: 73.6 kg (no alc, cake at work)
02/Oct/19: 73.5 kg (run, no alc, cake at work)
03/Oct/19: 72.6 kg (no alc, no treats)
04/Oct/19: 73.9 kg (blah! And rainy... Treats, alc, no run)
05/Oct/19: 73.0 kg (out of town for the weekend, lots of wine, food, sweet treats, but also walking)
06/Oct/19: ? (out of town, but better eating with portion control, some sweet stuff)
Recap of the week:
Goal #1: No treats on 1 days this week. - need to set stronger boundaries.
Goal #2: No alc during the week. - check!
Goal #3: Ran on only 1 day. - lack of time was a major driver for this one. With the new week schedule, this definitely needs the most energy for implementing, I mean running on my own. It’s too easy to let go of when time is running out and I try to meet other people’s needs. Again, stronger boundaries.

I’m joining in this month, I’m struggling so much with motivation, but feel so miserable with my weight. I haven’t been exercising as I hurt my back in August, seem to be much better now, so this week I’m going to start exercising again.
7/10/19 10 stone 12.75
Last night we had a bit of a party for my dad’s birthday and I did overeat.
My aim this month is to get to 10 stone 7
