  • Okay ladies, time for month in review. How did everyone do on your goals? What do you think you still need to work on? What do you think you did really well? We'll put up a November goals thread soon, too, so we can re-work our old goals into new ones for another month.


    Quote: My October goals:
    1) Exercise consistently. Develop a routine and stick to it.
    2) Don't go out to eat alone (I eat more if I do, especially if I get drive-thru).
    3) See 189 (i.e., lose 6 pounds... pretty please?).
    4) Put veggies in everything.
    5) Get up when my alarm goes off. I've had enough sleep, stop being lazy.
    6) Start the C25K running program.

    I didn't meet any of my goals for the month, except that I have been good at eating lots of veggies. That's disappointing. But I know exactly what happened, and the good thing is -- it's remediable! I'm already on the other side of my breakdown and things are looking up. November's a new month....
  • Quote: * Hit my next second 10 percent goal 243 pounds.
    * Increase my water intake from 2.5 liter to 3 liters.
    * Eat one more fruit or vegetable every day.
    I did really well on my goals.
    * I have suprassed my second 10% goal and am at 240.5
    * I drank 3 liters of water most days
    * I have been better about having veggies with my lunch and apples as my night time snack.

    I hope everyone else has doen well!
  • Quote: It's okay to add to this list when we want, right?

    * Exercise at least 5x a week.
    * Stay on plan at least 4 days out of the week.
    * Drink at least 32 oz of water per day.
    * Get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
    * Meet my Halloween Goal.
    I did good on my water intake which wasn't that big of a surprise because I've never really had a problem with drinking water. I just replaced even more diet soda with water and green tea this month. I'm doing a little better on getting enough sleep. I've been doing horrible with my eating and exercise though. I twisted my knee so I haven't been to the gym in like two weeks. *sigh* I didn't come close to my Halloween goal. Oh well. These goals will just be carried over to November.
  • I thought it might be worth just hiding instead of resurrecting this but I have done better than I thought. I am overall pleased with my progress - even with a hiatus in the middle of the month.
    • 1100 minutes exercise in line with fitness challenge - will probably fall short by 200. I had a bad month and completely stopped exercising for about a week. Good news is that I have finished the month off strong.
    • Month 1 of C25K - I haven't completed month 1, but am still doing it when I can. Very pleased with my progress.
    • 2 x 30 second planks, back to back - Argh - planks! I haven't done one for a while, except during my yoga and they aren't for 30 seconds. I am getting stronger though in my upper body and core.
    • 4 sun salutations consequetively - Yes! I love my yummy yoga and am now doing sun saluations almost fluidly. Next challenge will be some moon salutations.
    • 3 litres of water each day (includes herbal and green tea) - I have been doing well with hydration. Many cups of green tea during the day and at least 2 litres of water and even more when I exercise.
    • Eating lots of vegetables and fruits each day - Definately doing better in this field. Our fruit bowl is nearly almost empty at the end of the week.
