Hey! I thought this would be a fun (I read it again other day) "put your money where your mouth " type challenge! We have all done it either in high school or college..but you write yourself a letter then it is sent later to evaluate how far you have or have not come. Reassess what happened...because life happens despite our goals!
Write here today a goal you want for 3 months from now and I will send it to you in March so we can all see if later if did it or not or how life changed and the goal changed with it.
EXAMPLES: You can make the goal about fitness like "I will run a mile w/o stopping" or "I will be able to do 10 push-ups military style". "I will try a group class every two weeks"
Make it food "I will eat clean" "I will have a vegetable or fruit with every meal" "I will only have one soda a day"
Or you can make it mental "every time I am stress I will go for a walk or write in my food journal instead of eat" "I will do one fun physical exercise activity per week or month like skating etc"
Peace,
WW

My goal this year was to run a half marathon. I want to keep training for it by running and cross training every day a min of 4 days a week. This means a lot to me so I hope I can keep the mentality and motivation of it going! Not very creative but...0
-
i want to do the relay for life 5k race this year. i also want to eat no more than 1 cookie per week and lose at least 10 more pds.0

My goal for three months from now is to have lost 1 lb per week so that would be about... 12lbs? I would like to have stuck to my food plan for that long (so hopefully that means that it would be a habit not a stuggle)0
-
From 240 to 220. I'd like to be there. Aggressive goal is aggressive.
WAY TO GO JEREMY! YOU DON'T SUCK AS BAD AS SHE SAYS YOU DO!0 -
My goal is to completely run a 5K, no matter the time, but I have yet to accomplish one without at least one mile of walking. Also to be closer to 160 than 170.0

I want to lose 15 pounds by then, I know that I can do it, I just have to get in the right mindset again!0

Dear QueeenGreb,
Hey how have you been doing with your goals? I hope well. I know you can accomplish anything you put your mind to, so do it dammit! Today is January 8, 2013 it is 9am and I am going to give you some goals, try try try your hardest to complete them fully!
-Regarding your routine that you have just started with Sam keep that up. Every night even if she backs out, you complete 45 min of strong full body workouts. Even if it's all you do, this one is most important! You have 60 days, do it and you will be at your goal or even better!
-The eating cleaner goals you have set for yourself daily, keep that up. When you go to the store to buy something make sure you look a the label, you will be happy you did and stuck with your clean eating goals. Do it for your health and Shane's. Try a new recipe every week and challenge yourself when you are tempted to stray just kick temptations *kitten* and stick with your goal.
-Now this goal is going to be hard for you because you are lazy! You need support and recognition lets face it you don't want to be alone in your journey that's why you joined this group, so post what you eat and your workouts everyday, and I mean everyday. Try to make it part of your routine, just try. I know you will look back and be proud and what you can accomplish!
So those are your goals for the next 90 days and beyond. Girl you need to step it up and be strong, change is hard but you can do it! If you struggle or you have temptations come back to your group and ask for help. I am proud of what you have accomplished already. I love you and give your husband a kiss for me
With Peace and Love
Queen Greb

I have a hard time getting in my water. I have come up with a plan to resolve this issue. Only the plan has a flaw. The rule is to drink 16 ounces of water before I drink coffee and then 16 ounces at each meal. I have been able to master drinking the 16 ounces before coffee but I have been unable to consistently implement drinking the water at meals. It is hard to do so when your meals are less than three or meal times are screwed up. Today I will make this rule: 8 A.M.-12 P.M.-4 P.M.-8 P.M. for drinking my water.0

My goals in three months:
1. got to the gym at least 2xs a week

I drink loads of water by drinking a glass as soon as I wake in the morning, coffee, then one afterwards.
Anything you drink you need to drink water between. Like a crystal light, then water, coffee, water, ect. . .
Always keep a water bottle with you!! You'll eventually make it! Keep drinking that h2o! 0 -
Dear self,
Hope you're on track to your half marathon this year, and you're logging your food every day.
By this time you should have lost another 10lbs ..
Have you signed up for another 5k ?
Have you signed up for a half in Dec ?
You are amazing, wonderfully made, in the image of the all mighty, with his help you can do anything you put your mind too...
Amen0 -
I want to try at least one new healthy recipe every week. And I want to do 5 push-ups!0

I love this!
hmm....
1. When I am stressed and needing comfort, I will come to the boards or talk to a friend rather than the unhealthy comfort of food.
2. I will make it to the gym 5 days a week for at least 1 hour (2 being the goal)
3. I will eat fruits and especially veggies every day
4. I will drink more water0 -
3 months from now, I want to atleast be down to 173. Will continue not to drink pop, Exercise 5 days a week, Eat healthy, and give it hell to reach my goal. My starting weight today 186. If I can't loose as much pds, I would be okay with inches . 0
