September is almost here, which means my August goals are coming to an end. I’ve been thinking of what goals I want to do for September.
I don’t think I’m going to do a goal of blogging every day this time. I blew that goal out of the water, thankfully! I literally don’t think I’ve ever done anything consistently for a month straight. So goal accomplished.
Ben had a goal of writing TWO novels in August, and he is going to accomplish his goal! I think that’s pretty amazing to be able to write that much in such a short amount of time. And the writing is wonderful, too! Hopefully he gets another published book out of it!
My goal of getting under 200 lbs is nowhere close to being completed, but it was unrealistic anyway. So my September goal is going to involve more weight loss. I’m still 22 lbs away from 200 lbs, which is much more than I would have liked, but it is what it is.
So for September, I’m not even going to try to lose the lbs. I just want to get past my 100 lbs lost mark, which means I want to weigh at most 211 by October 1st. That’s only about 11 lbs to lose, so I can do that! I hope, at least.
I go back to work in September, and my schedule is going to be rather busy, so as long as I mindfully plan workouts and actually stick to it, then I will be fine.
So my September goals:
1. Weigh 211 by October 1st
2. Blog 3x a week
3. Drink at least 100 oz of water a day (I really need to drink more water. I’m always parched at the end of the day!)
I’ve never set goals by the month and actually stuck by them the entire time. I think it helps keep me focused, so hopefully September’s goals will all be accomplished!
How did your August goals turn out?

I call that a lot of wonderful progress Laura! Each day gets you closer to the close, but is showing you the journey is on track…. moving forward.
August for me went well! Like you, blogged daily which is preparing me for a big writing project in November. My September my goals will be kicked up a bit with a new race goal, more writing, weight loss and an idea to never quit theme.
Dream Big Always,
Judy

I have an idea for years about a script, I thought for a play, but a friend of mine inspired me through his work to give it a try as a screen play.

Great job with your August goals! It’s always good to re-evaluate what worked and what didn’t so you can make appropriate goals for the next month and you did great with that! I definitely make goals every month – it keeps things in small, doable chunks.

Thank you! I definitely learned a lot this month about myself and goal setting. I think I like making the monthly goals, too!!

Time for new goals. Goals for the month, yes?
August 30th, 2014 at 10:37 pm
Yes 😉 … What are your goals for September?
August 30th, 2014 at 10:45 pm
Well, write another book, kids, marriage. The usual!
August 30th, 2014 at 10:51 pm

Well, I bought the jump rope (but the ceiling is too low to jump inside) and I joined Weight Watchers. I am eating much healthier but am trying to keep from being hungry so much. I lost 2.4 lbs this week. It’s a start!

that’s a great start! you could always jump rope without the rope! 🙂
