August 2020 Add 'em up Goals & Habits Challenge!

Come join us in setting and achieving goals to promote your overall wellness! We are a friendly and welcoming group who love to chat when we have time, but please also feel free to join us if you want to just focus on your goals. No pressure here to address everyone; share as little or as much as you want!

We have been doing this challenge for many years now. While it is not strictly about fitness goals, we agree that our daily life goals work together with our fitness goals to make us happier and more balanced, so we combine them in this challenge. Feel free to join us! You can tailor it to your schedule if you need to take a week off for vacation or only count so many days. Whatever works for you!

Premise: Choose your goals for the month. Every time you complete a goal you get a point. Multiply your number of daily goals by the number of days in the month. This is your max total points. If you choose, reward yourself for reaching a certain percentage of your max possible (I use 90% for my personal goal), multiply by your max to get your total goal points. I also give myself extra credit options.

**Take this challenge however you wish. I used to total my points all the time but have fallen away from that and now just track my goals. There really are no rules, your challenge is your own, we're just here for support and to help each other with accountability. We would love to have you join us!

MT, ever since my last trip to AZ, almost every day I have drank at least 90 oz of water and herbal tea. Many days have been over 100 oz. I don't even try, I just drink when I'm thirsty!

I can't believe tmrw is August! Having only a few goals for July backfired and I hardly did any of them.

Got my goals up. I'm not doing well on my water goals in part because I quit measuring in a pitcher when I started to do really well. I guess I need to keep a pitcher full to make sure I get enough. You'd think the hot temperatures would make me more thirsty but not having an effect even though I'm out and about in it. My new goal is to make sure I'm not on the computer for more than 30 minutes without a break, whether it's get up and stretch or just leave and do something else. Once I'm caught up with record keeping and such, might be easier to stay off the computer anyway but for now, too much sitting at one time. I was surprised that I exceeded my goals last month with extra credit. That rarely happens so nice to see it is possible.

Vannie, thanks for getting the thread started for August! Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm still doing Jessica Smith, following my own choices, with a Pahla Bowers thrown in about once a week.

I need to focus more on eating healthy, and less sweets. I also want to do more meditation.

I never measure my water. I drink a lot in the summer, less in the winter. I go by thirst. Or maybe boredom, lol.
