Goals for October!!

theburnetts1

So I was debating where to post this but I thought this would be a good place because I honestly feel like I am going to have amazing success this month and from here on out!!! So I got this idea from one of my MFP friends home page "thanks Kathleen" about posting goals for October so here's mine.
1: Do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred every day. Day one finished.
2: Track every day and try to stay within my calorie allowance.
3: Drink at least 8 glasses of water and to just stay positive.
4: Lose 10 lbs.

To keep my motivation going I even posted before pics on my fridge and pantry to keep me from being tempted by the junk with a big sign that reads " You DON"T need that you want a BABY!!!!" It's going to be a great month. Here's to a new beginning Thanks everyone for your support!!!!

My September was chock full o' my legs taking me further than ever before (350+ miles total cycling/walking/running). That was my goal, to push myself harder than I ever had. DONE. For October, I start multi-sport training for a triathlon next year. Thus, my goals change:

1) Core training (2x/week)
2) Strength training (2x/week, probably same day as core)
3) Lose 6 pounds so I can get back into my swim trunks (I refuse to buy a larger pair)
4) Get in the pool
5) More evenly disperse my walking/running/cycling (Sept was very cyclo-centric)

Best of luck to you!

My goals....

Run a 10k (tomorrow!!!) in under an hour. I'll do a happy dance if I'm under 55 minutes, but under an hour will be just fine.

Lose that one last vanity pound to reach 9 stone by my Halloween party. (October 15)

Collect another medal at a 5k. Or set a new PR. (October 22)

Continue strength training.

Enjoy running in crisp Autumn air.

Relax a bit on the calorie counting, because sometimes it makes me feel a bit insane. :laugh:

Give my brain time to catch up so my mental image of how I look matches how I really look.

Awesome goals you all have set!

Let's see.. mine will be

1) 30 Day Shred every day. Do not quit just because you think it's hard. Look at your signature for crying out loud. Follow that quote!

2) Stay within calories and watch that sodium. I know your favorite snacks but sometimes we got to give a little to get something we want. Somehow I don't think giving up the pepperoncini's and pickles will kill you.

3) Track, Track, Track! If you eat it you best write it down. You're not doing yourself any justice by ignoring what you put in your mouth.

4) Decide if you're actually hungry or if it's something else going on. If you're bored - find something to do. If you're tired - take a nap. If you're thirsty - drink! If you're in a snacky mood - try fruit and if you don't want fruit you don't need to eat.

5) Remain focused and positive. Life throws us curveballs and sometimes we just have to know when to swing and hit it and other times we just have to know how to miss and move on.

4- commiting to myself by following through on these goals.

These are my October goals. May seem like a lot but its only 1 hour of exercise 4 days week and 30 minutes the other 3 days. September was the month I ran for 30 minutes straight FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!!! I plan to keep doing so as I am nearing the end of my C25K program

1. 30DS every day! This will be my second round of 30DS. I made it two weeks the first time with great success and progress and honestly dont know why i stopped
2. Run 30 minutes straight 2-3 days a week (M/W maybe Friday)
3. Zumba 1X weekly (Sat)
4. Log daily
5. 10 glasses water per day (minimum)
6. Incorporate more fruits and veggies
7. Cook 3 days a week (I did it this week and it felt amazing! For those of you who think its not possible INVEST IN A CROCK POT)
8. Loose 5lbs

Sunday will be the start of things for me so good luck to myself and everyone else on this journey. Check in frequently and let us know your progress or if you need encouragement

Great idea to post goals. I was just thinking of these, as I've definitely fallen off the wagon.
My October goals starting Oct 3rd (gotta regroup Oct 2nd and plan!)

1. Track everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly- take ownership of it all
2. drink only one can of soda a day (I mostly drink diet pepsi, but I believe it still screws up your metabolism)
3. Do a Jillian Michaels workout 3 days a week (RI30 or Burn fat, boost metabolism)
4. Do at least 30 minutes of Elliptical, or 60 minutes of walking 3 other days not doing Jillian
5. One rest day a week!
6. Drink 100 ounces of water a day
7. Take one day at a time, and get back to it if I have a bad day. Just keep working at it......
8. Try to limit carbs to 90 gm a day

I have just completed my first month on this plan - and it is working! My goals for September were to track every day and exercise 3-5 times a week, which I did. I lost 7.5 pounds.

My goals for October:

1. Work out 5-6 times per week, including 45-60 minutes of varied cardio and 3 days of strength training
2. Stay within my calories every day, except for 2 free days in the month (I still stay accountable to my journal but I can go over if I want)
3. Lose 5 lbs - get into the 170's again!

(I am saving the Shred and Ripped DVDs for the winter when I am stronger from working out and needing a shake up in my routine.)

My goals....

Run a 10k (tomorrow!!!) in under an hour. I'll do a happy dance if I'm under 55 minutes, but under an hour will be just fine.

I just signed up today, and I stumbled onto your goals and I think they are great! I too want to lose weight to have a baby, and am glad to know I am not alone in this! I love your idea about the fridge! We have a similar goal in the amount we want to lose as well. I have a Jillian Michaels DVD and haven't tried it but I am doing the C25K program but would like to do Jillian's or Zumba on the off days.. Here's to being healthier and happier to achieve other goals! Thanks for this post, I am glad you decided to post it! YOU can do this!!!
