August 2022 Add 'em up Goals & Habits 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 many years now. While it is not strictly about fitness goals, we agree that our daily habits 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!

I will have to skip at least the first half of this month. It's been one week since I was diagnosed with shingles, and I'm feeling better. The antiviral med has cleared up the rash. However, I'm pretty weak and need to rest. It will be another couple of weeks before I can work out again.

I hope everyone has a great month!

Vannie, the first part of August for us is mostly 90's, a few 100's and a few 80's. But the nights are cooling down so that is good. It's still a much cooler summer than last summer thankfully. We look forward to Fall too. The mosquitos are relentless this year.

Sherry, I hope your strength returns quickly!

Sherry, hope you are healed and recovered soon!

Katie, we don't usually have 100s in August. The forecast is looking right now like I can maybe turn off the AC and open windows next week, at least for a few days. I could survive without the AC but all I would do is sit in front of the TV.

Workouts have been:
Monday -toe yoga, thoracic mobility, PT, wobble board drills & foot exercises, 3 dog walks

Tuesday-toe yoga, weeds, thoracic mobility, short Leslie walk, CLX Burn Circuit 3, 2 different stretch videos, PT stretches, only 2 dog walks bc heat index was over 100

Wednesday-toe yoga, evening run, 3 dog walks
