“The most important thing about goals is having one.” Geoffrey F. Abert
It’s time to set some goals for the month of August. I have done a lot of debating over how I want to set my goals. Did I want to aim large or small? Daily, Weekly, or Monthly? Weight loss specific, or diet and exercise related? In the end, I decided for “all of the above“
The breakdown is as follows…
MONTHLY GOALS
- Weight Loss: Lose 10 lbs (goal weight August 31st: 133 lbs )
- Exercise: 1,000 minutes (any exercise)
- Diet: Daily Food Journaling (no excuses!)
WEEKLY GOALS
- Weight Loss: Continue Friday weigh-ins (6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th) with a “bonus” weigh-in on the 31st
- Exercise: weekly plan as follows…
- Sunday: active rest day (Tai Chi, Yoga, or walking with kids)
- Monday: cardio, chest & abs
- Tuesday: cardio, arms
- Wednesday:cardio , back & abs
- Thursday: legs
- Friday:cardio , shoulders & abs
- Saturday: cardio
- Diet: weekly focuses as follows…
- 1st-7th: Calorie counting! Get back in the habit of tracking calories (range of 1200-1600 daily)
- 8th-14th: Water! Minimum of 64 oz daily, goal of 96 oz daily
- 15th-21st: Fruits and Veggies! Minimum of 5 servings daily, goal of 9 servings daily
- 22nd-28th: Clean Eating! At least one clean eating meal or snack per day
- 29th-31st: Perfect Streak! All of the above for three days straight!
DAILY GOALS
- Weight Loss: NO SCALE except on designated weigh in days. I will not become a slave to the scale this month
- Exercise: MAKE time to exercise every day- if circumstances do not allow for planned workout- create a plan B!
- Diet: Plan meals and pack a lunch at the beginning of each day. Also, take a daily multivitamin.
