I did very, very poorly on my July goals. For August, I must and will do better. I would like to lose a minimum of 6 pounds by 8/31 and resume walking 3 evenings per week. I kicked butt on my cholesterol tests today, dropping the bad numbers WAY down! But my good cholesterol numbers dropped also, so the doctor's office called with the message that I need to resume my exercise. I thought how did he know I've been slacking off?! Nurse later told me that exercise increases your good cholesterol numbers and mine had dropped. Boy, I can't get away with anything!
How's everyone doing on their August goals? I am doing pretty well on mine. Luckily, we are broke so the cutting down on eating out thing is pretty easy. I have cut down on my drinking to only a few glasses of wine on friday and/or saturday nights. I am not doing the walk thing BUT I am going for a 35 minute bike ride every saturday. I am .5 lbs away from 229. The month is almost over, we can do it guys!
141 by August 31st. I have been stalled for over a month at 143-145. I usually stall for a while, then jump down 2-3lbs at once...I'm hoping for that to happen in the next couple weeks!!!
Oh man I just realized...I have been reading this place for so long I felt like a part of it...this was actaully my first post!
I am just getting back into the swing of things here at 3FC, so I am getting into the August goals game a little late : ) I figured I would state publicly that I am determined to get below 213 by September 1st, however. That's only 3 pounds so I think I can do it. I've been stuck between 213-215 for six solid months and I am going *crazy*. If I can just get under 213 I know I can get things moving again.
PrettyOne and thistoo: you still have time to reach those goals, you are going to make them! I am, too! Now, I have to think about what goal I want for next month. PrettyOne: you'd better watch out, I was a lurker for a long time and now I post almost every day!
Things are going okay for my August goals. I think I might can make my goal of 146 by the end of the month. Which would be great because i would probably hit my Sept. 13th goal of 145 a week early. That would be AWESOME!! So, I am going to keep trucking along and see what happens. Haven't been getting those 5 days of excersize in but i do what i can and things are progressing nicely so, i guess that's okay. Everyone just keep going. We still have over a week left to go!!! Keep Going!!!!
I'd like to get down to 149, so I can say goodbye to the 150's. I don't know if I can do it or not, though I'm now going to the gym for at least an hour on the weekends in hopes to get rid of all the weight (I already work out for 1hr30mins + on the weekdays, but my weight is a bit stubborn and I want to keep things moving, plus I really like to eat...)
Well I'm doing well on the exercise and breakfast/multivitamin front, but the weight isn't budging just now. New goals and new plans for September, here I come!
I'm going to set an August goal. I want to see 129 (In the 120s again!) by my birthday on August 30th. I also want to be sure to stay on track even on my birthday.
Also, I want to start exercising! I start my karate class tommorrow hopefully, so maybe that will serve as some motivation.
