I'm carrying my goals over from May:
OVERALL GOAL: Lose at least 6 lbs.
SUB-GOALS / ROAD MAP:
- Do a Headspace meditation daily.
- Write Morning Pages.
- Lift 3x / week.
- Hike / walk with Huck at least 3x / week.
- Prepare meals / eat at home.
- Concentrate on getting 8+ glasses of water daily.
- Avoid soda.0 -
I've been absent from here for a while, so my goals are pretty simple:
1. Start SL again
2. Do weights 2x/week
At least I kept up with the running, so I'm also running 3x a week, now working on a 10k program since I graduated c25k a week ago.0 -
- squat: maintain @90, try for 105. incorporate front/sumo/goblet squats as accessories.
- bench: maintain @75, try for 80 or 85. keep bench even with or lower than rows.
- ohp: maintain @50, try for 55. keep doing the lighter-weight accessory sets on workout-a days.
- rows: maintain @70, try for 80, most of all keep rows even with or heavier than bench press. lighter weight sets as accessory on workout-b days.
- deadlift: 135lb.
weight goal: 135lb.

Lose 3-4 lbs.
Increase all lifts by at least 1 increment.
Try not to get impatient with my weight loss! The closer to my goal I get, the more impatient I get. I can't let unhealthy thoughts get in my head, as I had an ED when I was younger. I know summer is coming up, but it isn't a race to the finish line. I really think these last 10-15 lbs are going to make a big difference in my appearance, so I am trying not to get discouraged.0 -
My goals are:
-Get back under 130 lbs (damn vacation!)
-Drink more water & less coffee
-Keep doing SL 3x/wk (this will be hard with work)
-hit 180lbs for DL
0 -
Um...
1- Don't break anything next Saturday (I have a good track record so far this year? lol)
2- After that, diet down for my trip to go see my wife. No numbers, just, I really gotta clean up my act because I want to be an inspiration and right now I inspire myself fluffiness so that's not good xD
3- Restore my sleep schedule and to-do-lists and the stuff that made me productive because I HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO READING FANFICTION AGAIN WTF?! (When did I turn back to being 21, eh? EH?!)
4- Heavy focus on bodyweight and mobility work so I can be a supple leopard (I actually have the book. 2nd edition. If anyone would like tidbits i'd be willing to share )0 -
1) Keep up with SL 3x/week
2) Try to incorporate swimming and running at least once a week
3) MORE WATER, it's like one of my biggest struggles.
4) Lose around 5lbs (more would be nice, but I haven't been losing for months, so yeah..)
5) Finally start on getting my drivers license! I'm 26 and still don't have it!0 -
June Goal:
-Lose weight!
Still struggling with weight…my entire focus this month! Time to make a doct apt0 -
The scale never seems to tell me anything I want to hear so I'm going to stay off it lol. Even when I lose inches and am supposedly eating at a defecit, it says the same weight. I've done some awesome strength increases over the past couple months while not really focusing on my diet and not really logging very tightly (btw where does that stupid shame come from if I eat more than my MFP goal, I mean really?! I'm an adult. If I want to eat more than my TDEE than I damn well can. And I can do it with cake.). Anyway, so no scale goals. Screw it.
Sooooo, dem goalz:
- Lose INCHES (0.5in from my chest and 0.5in from my waist)
- Hit my Basis Peak habits (2k steps before noon, 3k steps after 5pm, 10k steps for the whole day, don't sit for more than 1.5hours at a time) at least 5 days a week
- Go out to eat less. Save those $$$$$!!
- My May TDEE average was 3000 cals/day so I'm going to put my daily inhalation goal at 2500 cals.0 -
1. Read Starting strength and start polishing up my form. Deload where necessary to do so. (Hopefully not at all)
2. Incorporate more accessory work such as single leg lifts/squats, planks, hangs, pullups and walk a mile after lifting
3. Increase jog time to 30 minutes and then start increasing pace (no specific pace yet)
4. Meet my macro goals
5. Keep losing. (3# &/or 3" - Still no shorts)
6. 5 minute meditation (come on, I can do this!)0 -
Hi there. This couldn't have come at a better time since I have a family reunion in early August.
My goals for the month are:
-measure myself,
-stay within my macros,
-drink more water,
-increase veggie intake
-keep at SL (will have to deload this week)
-lose 5 lbs. (or inches) by July0 -
5) Finally start on getting my drivers license! I'm 26 and still don't have it!
so you know . . . i got into my 30's without learning to drive. and when i did, i was already a veryvery single parent, so i basically learned by repeatedly failing the test until i didn't fail on about the 6th try. 15+ years and no my-fault accidents yet.
(touch wood) also, just fyi my son still hasn't learned and he's almost your age. a LOT of people in his generation have never bothered to learn around here. personally, i really like it as a mental/cultural shift.

- keep going with SL, just finishing up week 4
- Add in some form of cardio (I don't know what I will do for this yet so this will be trial and error figuring out what works for me; I've never been a big fan of cardio)
- Go back to calorie counting and actually weigh my food (bought a food scale last night that will arrive next week)0 -
These are mine:
Quit weighing daily it's messing with my head
Strength train 2 sessions a week - up to three once home gym arrives in a couple weeks (yay!)
- work pull-ups back up to 3
Remember to bring my friggin reusable coffee cup to work and my water bottle
A perfect record regarding bike commuting
Consume 8 servings of fruits and veggies daily
I'm going to put a bikini on my perfectly-right-now-bikini-ready-body and rock it - squishy tum be damned.
I'm just getting back into lifting after a post surgical hiatus. I feel pretty weak and I'm not ready to set lifting goals because I'm not sure how quickly it's going to come back0 -

My husband just got his learners permit at 38 . He had it at 19, but just let it expire, then hasn't bothered since. I finally made him since our daughter is getting older and I work shifts so things like lessons, birthday parties, etc are getting difficult with only me driving.

Some great looking goals for June. Everyone is all geared up and ready to go. Here is my list and we'll see how I can plough through it pending work schedule, etc.
1. Weigh 150 - Ended month around 154/155, but 150 is where I can say I'm overweight instead of obese.
2. Unpack, clean and organize new apartment. So much stuff...
3. Edit novel and submit to agents.
4. Jog in 5k and maybe start 10k training so August 5k is easier.
5. Get through stage 5 in NROLFW and start stage 7 (last one cause skipping option stage 6).
6. Look into next tech training session, start studying and approach manager about it.
Thank that's about it for June. I'm getting antsy on the lifting program, so it's getting a little harder to make my way through but stage 5 is only 8 workouts. Plus I get to do db snatch again and those were kinda fun. I should also work on my deadlift and maybe look into finding a closer gym cause new apartment is much further away so long drives at 1 am aren't appealing. Problem is, most of the ones closer are tiny, with much less equipment but similar price range. One didn't have a squat rack. Will have to see how things go.
As for some topics posted in here... Driving: I started driving at 15 (learner's permit) but in small town wyoming it kind of helps to drive to get anywhere. Lived a few miles out of town and sure we had school buses but that's about it. Where I live now, people can rely on public transportation a lot more. Though I still don't like that I can't pump my own gas for my car cause I'm so used to doing it myself.
@andylllI - Nice approach with the bikini. I haven't worn a swim suit in years because it was so hard to find one my size that fit right. Even plus size I had issues like the chest part being too small. *grumbles* Maybe next summer I'll adopt the same thoughts you have and get one.0 -
@DawnEmbers I still have all my bikinis from pre baby days as well as two I bought as motivation when I came back to training and trying to improve my nutrition. The two new ones have Hawaiian/ Brazilian style bottoms (GASP) which may not go over well here in the great north. i must have a shopping problem, that could be a goal for July, though. I think I might cheat and get a pale spray tan first.0

Excited for June!
1. Lose 4 pounds
2. Lose 0.5 inches from waist

Guisa, I know that personally, I need a more specific goal than this when I've hit a rut in my losses. "Lose weight" is just too broad. I mean, you could cut off your arm and technically reach this goal, but I don't think that's what you want.
Maybe think about the things that you're struggling with right now. Are you logging your food accurately and consistently? If not, maybe that's your goal. If you are logging, take a look at your past diaries and see if you're over your calorie range more days than not. If you are, maybe that's your goal. Are you exercising / lifting regularly? If not, maybe that's your goal. All of these will help with your overall goal of "lose weight" but are so much more manageable and trackable, you know?
Just some thoughts. xo0
