Monthly Challenge #1: August 2006
 

Here are my goals for August:

Get back to a workout routine: if I don't walk or swim... push ups
Keep a water bottle with me at all times
Never exceed 5 extra points in any given day

I am sure I can lose the weight if I stick to those rules.

My August Goals...

Take my dieting more seriously again!
Get out of the 190s! (I am soooo close!)
And do some form of exercise five days a week!

I liked your weight goals and looked up my own

http://www.healthcastle.com/bmi-calculator.shtml
at 217: I was severely obese
at 211: I was considered obese
at 158: I will be merely overweight
at 132: I will no longer be overweight
at 116: (still unimaginable) I would be exactly in the middle of the BMI index

Hello All,
I would love to join your August Challenge.
I plan to:
Drink my 6 glasses of water everyday
Excercise 3-4 times a week
Lose at least 3 pounds

I am feeling really good about the monthly challenge. Anything to divvy the next 60 lbs or so into realistic chunks will help. It is really good for me to have exercise goals as well. With little ones around it is really easy to find excuses not to go to the gym etc.... My DS is in swimming lessons for 2 weeks, so I have been getting in the water each day for a bit. I really need to do this because I have a 1.75 mile swim race on Saturday and I haven't even done laps at the gym this year. I am one of only 5 people that has done the race every year since its inception in 1994.

So far I am on target for my food goals. I have a really hard time with two things, eating my kids leftovers and having snacks before bedtime. My only other bad is wine, but I can live without it a lot easier than other things.

hey morrgan cmon you can do it!!!

I will go to the gym at least 3 times a week and do some some form of weight activity 2 days a week.

I will not go more than 5 points over every day.

I will drink my 8 glasses of water daily.

I will start to do more things for me!!

Hey Guys,

Not a good day-did not do my execercise like I wanted, but a little will walk tomorrow if the rain quits-been doing pretty good food wise

I haven't participated in the Challenges yet... but maybe that is what I need to get my butt in gear.

1. Drink my water...every day!
2. Exercise at least 3 days a week for 30 minutes
3. Lift weights and/or do crunches daily... just a few minutes out of my routine.
4. Stay within 5 points of my daily points. (Thats a good one!)
