    1. Lose 2% body fat.
    2. Start lifting regularly. I do a lot of circuit training, but I should/could be lifting heavier weights than my "minnie mouse" dumbbells.
    3. Get up early so I can actually get in a whole work out while the baby is asleep/husband is home to help if she gets up.

    No matter where you are in life, it is good to set goals to work towards. Whether they are fitness, weight loss/ weight gain, career, love or money goals.

    What are your goals for September?

    Gain some more weight, get myself into a long-term CBT programme for my depression, have my 21st birthday and engagement photoshoot ... and keep myself busy!

    In no particular order...
    1) Do my physical therapy every single day so I'm in less pain, and therefore am far less prone to turn to alcohol for pain management.
    2) Do my 2-mile walks with the dog at least 5 days per week, weather permitting (as opposed to the 3-4 times per week we're doing now).
    3) Continue developing my skills in visual arts; I've been out of it for 12 years, and just started up again last week. It creates a wonderfully healthy emotional balance for me, and is something I should do every day for at least 20 minutes.
    4) Lose 5-7 pounds.

    I'd like to quit junk-food cold turkey! I always tell myself that just a few M&M's won't hurt but it adds up! My ultimate goal is to start eating much more health conscious.

    Well, in two weeks I'll have my financial aid refund (bought my books online so I have a little leftover, yay!) and I'm going to buy some new Nikes for running. I haven't run all summer because my running shoes hurt my feet. :sad:

    SO... starting then, I'll be running non-stop, doing some yoga and pilates, and am going to start my heavy lifting again IF my elbow cooperates (old volleyball injury flaring up - grr).

    I hope to be at least 15 lbs lighter (I say that because I know a few of my lbs are water weight) by October with the help of my trusty running shoes. I've missed running so much!!!

    Weight loss: get out of 200's only 5.6 lbs to go.

    And to survive the next month study wise as i start two course which equate to 24 hours study a week but as the OU has changed starting time I'm also finishing 2 courses with exams in October so for 3 weeks I'll be doing over 40 hours study. So much for part time lol

    I started MFP August 1st. I did not commit the way that I should or wanted, so my goal for September is to get back on my fitness trail and stay committed!

    Work out 3 days a week for 15-30 minutes.
    Drink my water every day.
    Keep my expectations realistic.

    Retired this summer from education - In my 50s - goal is to lose 30 pounds, according to my wonderful doctor. Used to work 10 hours a day. Now I have the time to exercise 70 minutes a day - trying to burn 500 calories each session. Making a point to move more and make great food choices. Still transitioning into my new life. Amazed how gratitude plays into this fitness goal. When I'm not into it, I count my blessings and get moving!
