August 2019 Add 'em up Goals Challenge ~All welcome!
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 several 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.

Hi, girls! I haven't printed my spreadsheet yet so I think I'm going to drop some goals. I have way too many, as usual.
I'm still not sleeping well. I took two melatonin gummies last night and got the sleep hangover this morning without the night full of good sleep. My hip is part of the problem, at least for the past month and a half. I think I'll be taking a nap after church. Naps seem to be the only quality sleep I can get.

Training is going pretty good. Still having troubles with my hip. I haven't run since Thursday and did less walking over the wknd and it's feeling some better. Was supposed to run yesterday but I had a headache most of the day. Have to run today.
Went to the Kid Rock concert with a friend on Saturday. Had a great time even though it rained on us a lot. Thankfully no lightning so they didn't have to call off the show. I was so wound up when I got home that I stayed up till 3 watching the replay of the Twins game. Ended up sleeping in till almost 9:30. Didn't accomplish much yesterday, tired and headache, and slept almost 3 hours, missing the second half of the game, but the headache still held on. Finally took smthg for it and it mostly went away. I am really struggling lately. I feel like I'm just floundering and all I want to do is cuddle my dogs, bake and watch TV. Zero motivation. I think sleeping poorly, sick of heat and sun, and guilt over not getting things done around the house are just burying me. I only seem to have control over one of those so maybe I should just not try to workout this week and focus on the house. When I workout in the morning it's somehow like 1:00 before I'm showered and ready to start the day.

Today's to-dos (maybe if I post my tasks where people can see them I will feel more obligated to complete them)
Clean bathrooms DONE Vacuum Wash car DONE Clean dehumidifier DONE Hubby came home from work early and was dozing so I didn't vacuum. Will need to do tmrw. Instead I baked a cake this afternoon and tonight crumbled it and mixed in frosting for cake balls. They're shaped but I'm not sure what day I'll dip them. I put off running this morning bc I couldn't make myself. Was planning to go at 7 tonight and it started raining. Today was supposed to be my official start date for Black River Classic 10k training (it's in October, have been running but need to add in strength training and hills). Not the best way to start off!

Today's to-dos
Vacuum Clean kitchen I decided to try smthg a little different today. There was heavy fog this morning so I wasn't sure if I would end up running or not (didn't know if it would be too hot after the fog cleared). I went ahead and ate my yogurt before I did dog walks and didn't listen to a meditation while we walked. It was still pretty foggy when we finished and my stomach was growling so I went ahead and ate a real breakfast then listened to a meditation seated with Cyric, which was really good. By then I figured I could run. The humidity was beastly at 92% and the temp was 69 but the complete cloud cover made it bearable. Made it 6 miles again for wk12 day2. I was determined not to let a lot of time lapse before my stretch like I usually do so I pretty quickly got downstairs and did 7 Minutes to Save Your Knees and then YFR post-run practice. I wanted to do more but figured it was getting late enough I better shower and eat lunch. My mood is a little better after starting the day like this. My hip is not so happy again though.
