My September goal is to engage in a social physical activity at least once a week. I'm an introvert with Asperger's, so I don't do anything social at all. Even if it's only go for a walk with someone else, that's my goal. I plan to do at least one yoga class too. My yoga classes are individual sessions, so a class will be new. I exercise every day, but once a week, it'll be in a social setting.0

2Poufs - a great goal! I lean toward introvert too and really enjoy my solo workouts. But when it comes to having to be social I actually prefer it to be something active. Gives everyone a goal to focus on instead of just standing around awkwardly. I love team sports even though I pretty much never want to talk to anyone, lol.0

Can my September goal be to not have any more stupid side ailments? Oh, and to not work 13 hour days?
Really killed my exercise plan for last month.0 -

Hmmm...I would love to start heavy weight-training this month...and keep on keeping on with all that I've been doing, nutritionally.0

Absolutely! I'm a firm believer that goals are goals and aren't just physically-related. Our mental health is probably even more crucial than our physical health when it comes to goals, because you're not reaching the goals you set physically if your mental health is not strong and healthy, right?0 -
1) track regularly
2) exercise 5+ a week
3) make good food choices
4) call my mom more often0 -
- Lose 12 Lbs (Home scale 9-1 at 351.8 so Goal is 339.8)
- Work up to 10 minutes on the Elliptical (Currently at 4.5 minutes)
- Track food every day on the day I eat it - no putting it off for a day or two.

Results are in!
I killed my goals. KILLED THEM!
10:35 on the swim - a minute and a half faster than goal
30 on the bike - 10 minutes faster than goal
46:30 on the run/walk - 8.5 min faster than goal
I can't even believe the run/walk pace - I'm so happy about that one. I ended up in about the 75th percentile in both my division and overall. Last time I was in the 90th, so... improvement! And this morning I had broken into Onderland! Though it is likely a bit of dehydration helping me along and I suspect I'll go back up a bit for a while. Still, I took a picture of the scale - ha!0 -
Congrats, you are kicking *kitten*! Thanks for the update0

I didn't want to jinx it, but I was pretty sure you were going to beat your goals. Most of us underestimate our capabilities based on 'normal' workouts. Way back when, the first time I ran a 10k, I was sure I would never finish. I ran with my best friend and we ran basically the pace we had planed to make sure we finished, but when we were about two kilometers out from the end, it was clear the adrenaline was helping a lot and finishing became no concern. All of a sudden, he picked up his pace a bit, I picked up mine to match, and we ended up focusing on beating each other and came pretty close to sprinting to the finish. I am glad that I remember the story without remembering who won, because I know we both did! Never underestimate the human mind and body when you give it a goal!
Congrats!
