Fall Goals

Any big plans for this fall? STS? Marathons? Fat loss? Muscle gain? Cleaning out the garage? No simple sugars in December? Super duper awesome costume on Halloween? Giving up a bad habit?

I'm focusing on AM cardio at 60 min. a whack and some fat loss. I'm also working through some self confidence issues that have been holding me back professionally.

Running the Chicago Marathon in October. So that's my fall goal. And then a nap :) Also have a goal of running 1000 miles this year, that will take me into winter, though.

That's my 2 big ones!!!

I'm completely cutting out my "trigger foods" until my birthday at the beginning of October:

deep-fried anything
fast food
sugar

I try not to eat much of those things anyway, but they've been sneaking back into my life lately.

I'd also like to lose 15 pounds or so by New Year's.

On a non-fitness related note, I want to have a great school year by maintaining a good, positive energy in my classroom all times.
 
Planning a trip to Hawaii in January and the goal is to get bathing suit ready. Need to lose about 10 lbs and gain some lower body definition - really hard for me.

Going to boost the cardio and add a leg day. Also adding some bike riding 1x weekly.

I require a goal (trip to HI or similar) to get my rump in gear but it is very effective. Really motivates me to stay on track.
 
Mine include running the Detroit Marathon in October, eating more veggies (big for me since I dislike them), and planning a written monthly dinner menu for the family.
 
Great post! I'm actually focusing on slowing down a bit. I'm tired of being "busy" so I'm choosing to only do things that make me "effective". I'm going to cut back a bit and not be such a go-go-goer...:)
 
However, my husband and I are taking our first cruise in November and I do have a goal to Stand up Paddlesurf at every port!!!
 
Planning on getting on a better sleep schedule so I can move to mostly early morning workouts! Ugh. Taking ballet (hoping to perfect my turnout and flexibility). Also running (or walking-whatever I feel like :p) a 5-miler on Thanksgiving. Not giving up simple sugars during the holidays because I am a holiday-bakaholic, but I plan to burn that sugar off!!! :)
 
Thanks for starting this thread, Alisha!! I NEED some serious accountability after this uber-busy Summer.

So, basically I need to get EVERY aspect of my life back in order. Everything just sort of fell apart this Summer.

DAILY workouts and drop those last 15lbs, make more dedicated time for work, stick to the school-year schedule I created this Summer. I mean REALLY committ to it this year, gosh-darnit!!

My workouts will consist of getting back into STS, cardio of varying joint-friendly types- the new Low Impact series will help tons with this!

Keep a better balance in all areas of life.

Thanks again for getting us back on track! Great goals, everybody!

Same as it always seems to be - get my a** in gear and get consistent and regular with my workouts, lose this freakin' 20 pounds by the holidays, and generally just get back in shape. This is shaping up to be a very busy fall, so I need to get moving now!!
 
I'm also working on letting go of old patterns of thinking that have held me back in the past. I learned bad logic when I was really little and I realize now that it has been fueling some of my decisions and now that I dissect it, I'm astonished at how juvenile some of my motivations have been.

For me, being told 'no' just seems like the world is going to end and if I think I might be told no I completely avoid the situation. This is why I went into other departments in the film industry other than being a director or a producer. And now, at this point in my career, I have to do some producing and directing just to move forward with my own projects. Its a requirement. Being told 'no' makes me think that what I want won't happen at all ever which means I'm a failure. This is bogus. Its not true. I know its not true. But, I have to remind my inner 3 year old that life requires work and working at something is not bad and does not mean I'm a failure. It just doesn't. Sheesh. Could I be any more of a big baby or what???:eek:
