August 07 goals...

[alcina]

I don't know about you all, but having some goals helps me keep on track and makes sure that I don't beat myself up too badly trying to achieve some fantasy perfection in a ridiculous amount of time So I thought I'd start a thead as it's a new month and time for me to refocus.

First I like to start with my tangible reward for a job well-done in July. I didn't meet all my goals, but I did make forward progress!
- buy a new pair of "nice" pants and maybe a top before my first time second shooting at a wedding on 16th August!

My August goals:
Weight/appearance
- lose 3.5kgs and/or have my current jeans be seriously too big

Movement
- do my new pilates core dvd at least twice a week
- walk 40 minutes+/day at least 4 times/week
- do the dreaded elliptical trainer sometimes (a bit vague, but that's ok )

Eating
- keep on getting lots of water and at least nine fruit/veg/day
- find a couple new ideas for dinners

I haven't decided what I want for a tangible reward for August, yet...probably a new lens

What're yours?

Exercise
work-out 6 days a week (combination of treadmill and weights) and enjoy one day per week of relaxation as a reward.

Lose 4-8 pounds.

Food
Continue to integrate fruits and veggies into my diet

I've gotten complacent the last 2 months and have slipped into laying blame on work, fatigue, blah blah. My goal is to get back to the gym 5 days a week, weights and cardio. Watch my diet better. I don't give a crap about weight. I'll probably gain again as before. Muscle is heavier than fat.

Yep thats my goal, to gain in muscle weight. BTW Irishsquid, where is your bad day squidward avatar?

I'm checking in before month's end just to make sure I'm more or less on track...how is everyone else doing?


My August goals:

Weight/appearance
- lose 3.5kgs and/or have my current jeans be seriously too big

Doing ok on this, I think. Not sure I'll make the whole amount, but I am headed in the right direction. The jean's are looser, but not falling off yet!

Movement
- do my new pilates core dvd at least twice a week

Ummmm...

- walk 40 minutes+/day at least 4 times/week

- check!

- do the dreaded elliptical trainer sometimes (a bit vague, but that's ok )

Done it a few times, certainly could do more.

Eating
- keep on getting lots of water and at least nine fruit/veg/day

Yup, no problem on this one.

- find a couple new ideas for dinners

Haven't found any new dinner ideas yet.

Still no idea what I want for my tangible August reward

Goals update:

My workout goals - haven't met them and won't this month. I've worked out all but 6 of the last 21 days so I'm a little behind but better than the prior month. So, I've missed 3 days of working out this month.

Weight - I'm frustrated. Stepped on the scale this morning and have gained 1.5 pounds. I know that I'm not eating more, and it's depressing seeing the scale go up instead of down with all the working out that I'm doing.

Food - I'm continuing to meet that goal.
