July 2022 Add 'em up Goals & Habits Challenge ~Join us!

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!

After blowing off the first two days of the month I kicked my own butt into gear and actually worked out on a Sunday! Another long string of short ones (pre and post run stuff take just as long whether I run one mile or four!): PT exercises, glutes with Caroline Jordan, feet with Jill Miller, lower legs with Caroline, 1.09 mi run, piriformis and hips with Helen Clare and my usual Yoga for Runners post-run practice with Matt Giordano. I need to do tendonitis exercises and PT stretches later.

I had a disruptive start to the first part of the month. We had some pretty intense storms come in a couple nights, one with a crazy amount of lightening and 3" of rain dropped quickly, the other came in with hail and pelted the house because the winds were so bad...ripped up some screens on some windows and pruned my garden to the point of no return. The hail wasn't big(pea/marble sized), there was just a lot of it with high velocity wind and it was very loud. Anyhow, these things happened late night/early morning so I was a zombie for quite a few days with very little sleep. I'm starting to feel more like myself now and getting back into the swing of things. What a difference sleep makes! Getting in some good exercises and walks, making some salads and baking cookies. And finally, I'm making my water goals more frequently! Feeling like summer! Yay!
