New Goals

I’ve rewritten my goals after talking to my trainer.

July 5^th starting weight 228

August 7^th Goal 220 August 7th weight 221.2

September 4 Goal 212 September 4th weight 211.6 (YES)

October 9^th Goal 204

November 6^th Goal 196

December 4^th Goal 188

January 8^th Goal 180

February 5^th Goal 172

March 4^th Goal 164

April 8^th Goal 156

May 6^th Goal 148

June 3^rd Goal 140

Here’s the thing though. I keep finding different “healthy” weight ranges for my height. Web MD says 115-154 (115 I’d be sick looking). Weight Watchers says 124-155. They aren’t too different. I’m thinking of going with Weight Watchers since that’s the program I’m actually doing. The day I went into labor with my first daughter I was 156. The day I went home from having my daughter I was 135. I’m having a really hard time setting a goal weight.

September challenge

I've decided that each month I should set up some sort of a challenge for myself. Just for the heck of it. I saw that one of my friends was doing a 100 mile challenge, so I thought that sounds like a good challenge. So for this month I'm going to try walking/biking 100 miles for the month of September.

So far this month (yes, I know it's only the 2nd) I've done 2 miles. 98 miles to go:)

I have another friend that is doing 100 squats per day for 100 days. I tried, I really did, I'm just not there yet. I tried breaking it down and doing 25 here and 25 there, just didn't work. I've tried doing 50 at a time and that didn't work for me either. Maybe I'll start off slow and do 50 a day and then work my way up.

Next month is going to start the really hard months. We've got two birthday's in my family next month. Halloween, Thanksgiving, 2 more birthdays, Christmas, New Years, 2 more birthdays, Valentine's day, and then 2 more birthday's, Memorial Day, and then I'll hit summer again and get a break for the month of June! I love cake! I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the yummy goodies that come along with those holidays! It's going to be rough!
