    My September goals:
    I do pretty much all of this now, but I'd like to keep the consistency.


    100% food journaling.

    100% food journaling honesty.

    3-5 mile daily run 5x a week
    Spin 2x a week

    Strength 1x per week (at least) yoga, Pilates, PiYo, or body pump

    Lastly, my goal is to try a new class, like Body Pump. I'm terrified of it.

    Goals:
    Be down a total of 10 lbs by September 17th (the day we leave for vacation). 5 down, 5 to go!
    Keep up with my calorie counting during vacation
    Go running at least once while on vacation (We'll only be there 4 days so I think that's more than doable!)
    Attend boot camp at least twice a week this month, and 3 times a week when possible

    September:

    Join the local Y so I can swim until my injury heals.

    Fill out Food and Exercise Diary faithfully.

    Remember to breathe so 7th grade doesn't give me a coronary. School starts tomorrow and it has already been painful!

    I'm going slow, too much at once doesn't work for me.

    My September challenge:

    1. Remain consistent about tracking.
    2. Remain consistant with activity, on crazy family days at least fit a walk in.
    3. Do my stretches so I can work up back to running without too much pain.
  • My September Goals are:

    - Take 77,000 steps a week, minimum
    - Go to 3 yoga classes a week (I've been doing maybe one)
    - Do my 2 weight lifting sessions and 2 cardio sessions each week (no skipping!)
    - Stay under my weekly calorie goals

    I have an obstacle 5K coming up at the end of the month and I want to make sure I'm strong, flexible, and fit enough to not die in the Texas heat!

    Goals this month:
    I turn 30, and I want to be in the best shape of my life.
  • My goals are probably a bit too ambitious but that's just how I am:

    1. Get down to 130lbs, figure out whether I want to keep going.
    2. Finish my Dutch course.
    3. Start learning Czech.
    4. Start a writing project I've been planning for some time.
    5. Work on a new research project idea I just got.
  • 1. Keep logging food faithfully, even when I know I've gone over my limit and don't want to see it; also, remember to weigh myself every week.
    2. Read more than I have been.
    3. Do cardio at least twice a week.
    4. Lift weights at least twice a week.
