Goals for October!!

My September was chock full o' my legs taking me further than ever before (350+ miles total cycling/walking/running). That was my goal, to push myself harder than I ever had. DONE. For October, I start multi-sport training for a triathlon next year. Thus, my goals change:

1) Core training (2x/week)
2) Strength training (2x/week, probably same day as core)
3) Lose 6 pounds so I can get back into my swim trunks (I refuse to buy a larger pair)
4) Get in the pool
5) More evenly disperse my walking/running/cycling (Sept was very cyclo-centric)

Best of luck to you!

Awesome goals you all have set!

Let's see.. mine will be

1) 30 Day Shred every day. Do not quit just because you think it's hard. Look at your signature for crying out loud. Follow that quote!

2) Stay within calories and watch that sodium. I know your favorite snacks but sometimes we got to give a little to get something we want. Somehow I don't think giving up the pepperoncini's and pickles will kill you.

3) Track, Track, Track! If you eat it you best write it down. You're not doing yourself any justice by ignoring what you put in your mouth.

4) Decide if you're actually hungry or if it's something else going on. If you're bored - find something to do. If you're tired - take a nap. If you're thirsty - drink! If you're in a snacky mood - try fruit and if you don't want fruit you don't need to eat.

5) Remain focused and positive. Life throws us curveballs and sometimes we just have to know when to swing and hit it and other times we just have to know how to miss and move on.

Mine are:

1- commit to the October challenge I signed up for (30DS) and see it through with daily posts

2--focus on reducing my daily sugar intake

3--daily tracking of food and exercise

4- commiting to myself by following through on these goals.

My October goals are....

1. Keep up with the October challenge I joined.

2. Run 3 times a week. Get up to 4 miles of running. Currently at 5k/ 3.1 miles.

3. 2 days of strength training

4. Track everything I eat and drink. Try not to drink too much wine.

5. Lose 5 pounds!!

Can't believe it's October!! My goals for this month are:

1. Drink 8+ glasses of water/day
2. Track daily
3. Lose 10 pounds

I have just completed my first month on this plan - and it is working! My goals for September were to track every day and exercise 3-5 times a week, which I did. I lost 7.5 pounds.

My goals for October:

1. Work out 5-6 times per week, including 45-60 minutes of varied cardio and 3 days of strength training
2. Stay within my calories every day, except for 2 free days in the month (I still stay accountable to my journal but I can go over if I want)
3. Lose 5 lbs - get into the 170's again!

(I am saving the Shred and Ripped DVDs for the winter when I am stronger from working out and needing a shake up in my routine.)

Since I'm soooooo close to my overall goal.....

1. Lose the last 10 lbs
2. Log everyday
3. Work out at LEAST 3 times a week
4. Drink more water
5. Look good in my production the last week of October!!

7. Cook 3 days a week (I did it this week and it felt amazing! For those of you who think its not possible INVEST IN A CROCK POT)

I found a nice Crockpot at Target for $18.

I love to make this goal !!!

1: Do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred every day.
2: Wake up 2 times a week early! and go to the gym!!!!
2: Log food and exercise everyday!
3: Drink more water.
4: Lose 5 lbs.

Wish all of you good luck!

Run a 10k (tomorrow!!!) in under an hour. I'll do a happy dance if I'm under 55 minutes, but under an hour will be just fine.

Yay! Ended up with 53:12 and a 2nd place in group medal!

Woot! Great job on that hun.

So I was debating where to post this but I thought this would be a good place because I honestly feel like I am going to have amazing success this month and from here on out!!! So I got this idea from one of my MFP friends home page "thanks Kathleen" about posting goals for October so here's mine.
1: Do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred every day. Day one finished.
2: Track every day and try to stay within my calorie allowance.
3: Drink at least 8 glasses of water and to just stay positive.
4: Lose 10 lbs.

To keep my motivation going I even posted before pics on my fridge and pantry to keep me from being tempted by the junk with a big sign that reads " You DON"T need that you want a BABY!!!!" It's going to be a great month. Here's to a new beginning Thanks everyone for your support!!!!

I just signed up today, and I stumbled onto your goals and I think they are great! I too want to lose weight to have a baby, and am glad to know I am not alone in this! I love your idea about the fridge! We have a similar goal in the amount we want to lose as well. I have a Jillian Michaels DVD and haven't tried it but I am doing the C25K program but would like to do Jillian's or Zumba on the off days.. Here's to being healthier and happier to achieve other goals! Thanks for this post, I am glad you decided to post it! YOU can do this!!!

With a goal to lose 6 lbs this month my plan is to:

30 Day shred (2 times a day)

WATER x 1000 %

Track Cals

low carb/high protein regiment

Do one weekly out doors activity with my kids

Best wishes to everyone!!

Goals for Oct.

Lose 10lbs
