Happy October!
A new month, new goals, and new clean slate to work with!
These are my goals from September for my original Take Back 2020 post:
- Lose 5 percent of my body weight by September 30th. This is approximately 13 pounds.
- Lose 4 percent of my body weight by October 31st. This is approximately 10 pounds.
- Lose 2 percent of my body weight by November 30th & December 31st. This is approximately 5 pounds and 5 pounds each month.
- Change my “middle number” on the scale 2 times in September, and at least one additional time in Oct/Nov/Dec. With the goals above, this should actually happen 3 times, but I’m being conservative.
- Officially change my step goal from 8,000 to 10,000. Eeeks.
- Exercise 5 out of 7 days a week for a minimum of 1 hour. (Beachbody, Walk Video, Walk at the Park, Swim, whatever as long its an actually exercise.
- Drink 120 ounces (or more) per day.
Now how will I change/update these?
Lose 5 percent of my body weight by September 30th. This is approximately 13 pounds.This didn’t happen, I lost NINE – still super happy about what I accomplished! This was approximately 3.5% of my body weight.Lose 4 percent of my body weight by October 31st. This is approximately 10 pounds.Let’s change this! 5% didn’t happen, neither did 4%. Not saying it can’t but I want to be realistic. So I’m going with 3% in October which equates to approx 7 pounds.- Lose 2 percent of my body weight by November 30th & December 31st. This is approximately 5 pounds and 5 pounds each month. I think this is still fair, and 2 percent each month is safe!
Change my “middle number” on the scale 2 times in September, and at least one additional time in Oct/Nov/Dec. With the goals above, this should actually happen 3 times, but I’m being conservative.Alright this happened once in September, and my new goal is for 2 more changes in the next 3 months.- Officially change my step goal from 8,000 to 10,000. Eeeks. This is done and I am still working on 10,000 or more EACH DAY.
- Exercise 5 out of 7 days a week for a minimum of 1 hour. (Beachbody, Walk Video, Walk at the Park, Swim, whatever as long its an actually exercise. This stays the same, I think this is realistic.
- Drink 120 ounces (or more) per day. This needs to stay the same and I need to work harder!
So there we have it! NEW GOALS for October!!!
