What are you challenging yourself to do for this next month? :laugh:

My challenging goals for October are:

* Release between 8 to 12 pounds that's 2 -3 pounds a week
* Exercise 4 to 5 days with increased intensity and time, cardio and strength training.
* Drink 1 gallon of water each day.
* Have green drinks, fruit smoothies, eat cleaner with more vegetables.
* No packaged, processed food or refined carbs
* Get adequate sleep
* Educate myself more about the body, health, and nutrition.

(God willing - I'm willing)

Everyone have a great and successful month!

    Bjabdullah, I like your phrase, "release 8 - 12 lbs". If you release it, hopefully it won't return. However, when you lose you have the propensity to find it again and I'm definitely not trying to do that. So I stand corrected, I'm releasing 8 - 10 lbs in October.
  • Hello!

    For the month of October, I plan to do the following:
    1. Strength training 3 days week + 30min of HIIT cardio AND (1) weekend day of cardio/dance/yoga

    3. No deserts or sweets
    4. No bread or fried/fatty food
    5. Lose at least 6-8lbs

    I need to challenge myself to be active on the weekends!

    I am also participating in the 100 Mile October Challenge and while I did good in September I would like to see some consistency in my steps on the weekends - my daily goal steps is 13K and I would like to develop a way for me to get this on the weekends without planning.

    October will also be a great month for me to expand my diet, I need to get ready for winter vegetables so trying new things this month is a must.

    I am 4.8 pounds from my goal if I can get that down to 3.0 that would excellent!!!

    Happy Day Ladies!! I am new to the group and coming off a surgery 09.29, so my October goals will be conservative and hopefully consistent.

    1. Be patient and heal from surgery by clean eating
    2. Drink a minimum of 48 oz water per day
    3. Get as much quality sleep as possible
    4. Ease back into a low impact work out routine (at least 3 days strength)
