**december 2006 Goals**
 

It's that time again -- we close out one month and say hello to another! December's special, though, as it's the month in which we all feel the most vulnerable to food. Food means family, food means celebration, food means the holiday spirit! Right? WRONG! People make the holidays happen, not that fruitcake or honey-baked ham.

So how are you going to combat the holiday feast demon? Where do you want to be come January 1st, when all those poor suckers are just beginning to make their resolutions to get in shape?

Share your goals for the year's end here!



(PS: I know there is also Jen's New Year's challenge thread -- I think the goals thread is different, right? Hope I'm not overlapping too much!)


My December goals:
-In keeping with the New Year's Challenge, lose 5 pounds.
-Work on that exercise routine... which has routinely failed so far.
-Exercise while on vacation.
-Don't spend too much on gifts for people -- they don't need material objects to know I care for them (and I don't need to break the bank in order to prove it to myself).
-Kick butt on exams and final essays!!
-Moderate dessert consumption -- eliminating it would be torture, so choose wisely and only take half-portions.
-Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve -- only allowable nights for alcohol consumption.

WATER, WATER, WATER!
No pop!
Make my own lunch for work every day.
Limit salt intake.

Not to get discouraged when the numbers on the scales won't budge (note to self, kicking it doesn't help)

DRINK MORE WATER!!!!!!!!

Continue to exercise atleast 3 x a week for atleast 30 minutes

Keep a positive frame of mind and realize how far I've come

Limit snacking between meals and not give in to late night fridge/cabinet raids

I guess the overall this month is to not completely fall off the wagon. A bit of self control wouldn't go astray ;)

December Goals

• 900 minutes exercise (inline with challenge)
• Stick to my exercise schedule
• 2 fruit and 2 veg per day
• Lots of water - its already warming up here so i need to keep on top of the water
• Nothing is out of bounds - just moderation.

Ok, I'm new here and now is as good time as any to make some goals.

*No more Soda, good bye Coca~Cola, goodbye*
*Drink Water, Water, Water*
*Use my eleptical machine every morning for 30 Minutes and strive for longer*
*Plan my lunch's at work and meals at home more appropriately*

That should do it to begin ;)

December Goals:
-Consistency in my eating and exercise habits
-Continue losing gradually, but healthily
-Spend more time with my family, and bridge gaps with friends that have built up since I moved away
-Get out every once in a while!
-Get a little more detailed about my daily %'s intake.
-Completely remove red meat from my diet
-Get creative with the Christmas holidays in other ways rather than baking!

My December Goals!
-Drink more water
-eat more veggies
- exercise!!!! (it has been really hard for me to stay focused, so I was thinking of training for a triathalon so then I can acheive 2 of my goals (losing that last 20 lbs and complete a triathalon)- I found a community, MyDream (http://www.mydream.tv) and it has it's own board for completing a triathalon! I think this is a great place for me to start!)
-No more soda!!

1. WATER, WATER, WATER
2. Log all food that goes into my mouth, back to calorie counting
3. 30 minutes of cardio 6 days a week, and weights 2-3 times a week
4. Healthy mix of food...fruit, veggies, dairy, lean meats, and whole wheat carbs

December Goals

1) Record what I eat at fitday

Mini-Goal Weight at end of December: 165

ONLY 6 Pounds!! :carrot:

My November goals didn’t go so well because I had surgery so I’m hoping for a better December!

* Not to binge during my 3 weeks of finals.
* Drink 3 liters of water daily
* Exercise
* Not to binge when I go see my parents.
* Lose 6 pounds by the end of the month putting me at 226!

Hmmm.. what are Fae's goals?

-Stop playing 'catch-up' and start losing weight.. which means reaching 185.
-Do my exercising. Thats my challenge goal, but Im restating it here... both cardio and strength, 3 times a week.
-Dont binge the 4 days Im at my mother's.
-Keep within calorie limits (1400-1600 a day).
-Since its such a holiday month, Im allowed to drink as much as I want on 2 occations. Once on New Years, and the other a day I pick (as per my goal promise.. reach 190 by Thanksgiving, Im allowed to get drunk hehe).

I think thats all.
