Do any of you have any wellness/fitness goals you would like to achieve before the end of the year? If so, what are they? (And we are talking anything from losing weight to flossing regularly!)
I would like to:
1. Not fall asleep in my makeup!
2. Lose 15 pounds (at least 6 by December 14!)
3. No matter what, celebrate every success, even the *small* ones (they add up, after all) . . . every night of going to bed with a clean face, and every time I make a better food choice

1. Work out at least 4 times a week
2. Take more time and effort when getting dressed

1. Take more time for myself. Could be just time with my hair dryer or an afternoon on my own.
2. Get back to being diet diligent. I've had a few off days lately that are making me feel gross.
And I'll add in..
3. Floss more.
@MsLipGloss: I totally struggled with passing out in my makeup when DD was a newborn. I bought those face wash wipe thingys for the days when I just couldn't be bothered to get out of bed to wash my face. I keep them in the nightstand.

1. Lose 10 lbs by Christmas
2. same with the makeup thing. I also fall asleep in my makeup a lot. Target brand Ponds wipes help a lot.
3. Take a shower more often. I'm too tired sometimes to shower. It's a bad habit developed in maternity leave. I need to make time for showers.
4. Be mentally prepared for the trip to the inlaws.

1. Exercise more often
2. Get a new job. I'm filing this under "wellness" because I think it would really help my mental health. I also think I'd exercise more if I wasn't depressed about going to work all the time.

@oliviaoblivia: Uhhhh, I still have some face wipes in the night stand . . . . /facepalm! Thanks for reminding me!
@cascademom: Being *prepared* to deal with family during the holidays is one of my biggest motivators for losing some pounds . . . I know that it will help get me in the best mental place possible so that I have a much better shot at dealing with everything in stride.

@MrsSCB: That totally counts! The office where I worked before my current office was a toxic environment . . . that bled over in to everything, including my relationship with hubs.

Lose weight. Don't really have a set amount lol. Just until I feel right.
Get back to the gym. I've been really slacking lately.

Good idea!
I stopped exercising (other than yoga) 10 weeks ago at 6 weeks because I was sick all the time and cardio made me want to puke. Now I feel better so I'd like to get back into a solid and reliable cardio routine again.
Also eat more veggies consistently. I've been doing good on fruits but not so much on veggies.

This may sound stupid to some but, I'd like to stay healthy until at least Jan 2, even if my kiddo gets sick. I'm taking multi-vitamins and doing lots of handwashing.

@MsLipGloss: Exactly. I think part of it is to show off how much weight I've lost when they aren't causing horrible stress from afar. Going there is super stressful as is most of DH's family which he recently admitted. Weight Watchers definitely helps to control what's going into my mouth while I'm there. It'll be nice to say, "No thanks, I don't have points for that." Being 10 lbs. lighter will be nice with dealing with them. I can also can say "yep, I'm below pre-pregnancy weight and look good!" Dare I say, stuff like that shakes up MIL and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Floss!
Start pre-natal yoga, even if it's just a few poses on my own. I need to keep up with it better.

OOOOO I am loving this!
- work out 5 days/week
- floss everyday
- take a relaxing bubble bath 3x/wk
- exfoliate my face with my machine (was pricey, never use it) every week
- one cup or less of caffeine a day
GOLD / cherry / 153 posts
- Finish the year without drinking another Diet Coke. (Today marks a month!)
- Get to at least one yoga class a week.
- No coffee in December.
- Run at least 2x a week.

Eat better (less sugar) and fit into my old Size 26 jeans.

- Stay on track with WW. I'm down 35 pounds, 27 to go!
- Stay wheat-free. It makes me feel awful. I gave it up cold turkey a week ago and lost 5 pounds right off the bat.
- Find a skincare regimen and stay disciplined. So guilty of falling asleep in my makeup!
- Find time to work out 3-4 times a week.

@LovelyPlum: @TurtleDoves: @.twist.: @oliviaoblivia: Glad to see that I am not the only one who could use some improvement in the *floss* category!
@theonewhere: I am a Diet Coke addict - what an incredible accomplishment! I will say that I hope to cut it out completely in the next week or so, but for now, I am limping along at 1 a day (down from 3-4 a day!) . . .
@grizz: I haven't cut out wheat, but I have cut out processed carbs for a few days (just protein, veggies, and fruits for the next couple of days) . . .and I, too, feel better already. Well, it's either losing the carbs, or being so stinkin proud of myself that I finally made it over the initial hurdle of getting back on track with clean eating (today is day 3).

@MsLipGloss: yup, exactly. Right now I work with a lot of catty people and while I stay out of it and just worry about work while at work, it gets exhausting hearing people talk about others behind their backs all the time. And I thought I left high school behind...

I have put on some LBS since stopping my MSPI diet. I just joined the gym in my office building and my goal is to work out three times a week on my lunch break, and then once on the weekends at home (30 day shred video, run around the neighborhood, etc).

floss, workout, spend more time with myself, go to bed before midnight!

@MsLipGloss: I used to be so good about it when I lived on my own. Then I started dating DH and spent way more time at his house than mine, so my routine got messed up.... Haven't really flossed since... . Oooooops!

My goals are mostly to keep my momentum going!
-Keep working out 5x/week, no matter what. Even if it means getting up at 4:30 (like today! Ha!)
-Add cardio (I’ve been lifting only for a month. Nov 29, I add cardio!)
-Turn down 95% of the junk. I don’t need it, I don’t want it, it doesn’t help me achieve my goals. Holidays got nothing on me!
-Lose 5 lb by Christmas
-Buy new jeans. I deserve some good fitting jeans when I lose this weight!
-Get a massage. I do need a reward, after all!

Great thread! Although I'm slowing down at 30 weeks pg, I'm trying to stick with these goals:
-Making healthy food choices and using moderation (limiting carbs, sweets and mindless/ bored eating... hard while pg and with my insane sweet tooth!)
-Staying active at least 2-3x per week
-Get more organized before baby comes
-Starting & finishing house projects before baby (procrastination anyone?)
These are some lofty goals for me, but if I can at least take some baby steps and celebrate small successes, I think I'll feel a lot better.

Another one for taking more time for myself. I just started doing acupuncture again and the acupuncturist massages my tummy at the same time... So relaxing! It's really reminding me how good an hour to myself feels!
Also: Tone up now I've finally lost preg weight
Get to bed before 11pm
Read a book

Get back into running. Even if I can only do it twice/week. It helps me mentally so much!

@MsLipGloss: I have totally been falling asleep with makeup on and totally got a zit from it this past week(and I only wear tinted moisturizer too)! Have to stop it... The worst part is that I'm actually wearing contacts too when that happens and can barely peel them off later.
1. Consume way less candy. I know it makes no sense, but I have been consuming large quantities of Halloween mini twix bars in hopes that they will finally go away and stop tempting me!
2. Drink a green smoothie every day. Been doing this for 2 weeks and my body is .. well. getting used to all the fiber.
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@T-Mom: Actually, your *eat it so I can stop thinking about it* theory really resonates with me. I will eat something until it's gone (even if it makes me sick in the process!) just so I won't be *tempted* in the future. Uhhhhhh, yeah. : /

@MsLipGloss:
I would like to:
WEAR REGULAR JEANS!!!!!!! Still wearing maternity jeans at 7 months pp

My goal is to drink more water and make healthier eating choices.
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@cmomma17: @grizz: I couldn't bring myself to wear any pants other than yoga pants during my pregnancy . . . I never bought a pair of maternity jeans! I did, however, buy the next two sizes up in regular jeans, and wore those until I couldn't wear them any more. I can wear the smaller size now (they are 8s), but every day I stare at my stack of 26s that I miss so much!
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@cyndistar3: Drinking more water is definitely up there on my clean eating plan! I don't want LO to think Diet Coke is a staple liquid!
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
1. shower daily
2. brush my teeth at least 2x a day.
3. lose 9 lbs!

I am 5 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight but still have excess chubbiness around the belly so I want to do more crunches to tone up! My goal by March 2014:
Lose 20 more lbs
Immediate goals:
1) not sleep in my contacts
2) wash & put moisturizer on face daily
3) healthy meal planning weekly

@grizz: pulling on maternity jeans when I'm soooo not pregnant affects me mentally I think. I just feel sloppy, which in turns makes me want to eat bad food and not exercise.
grapefruit / 4997 posts
@cmomma17: oh yes, I need to add that too....
4) wear regular jeans and feel good about how I look in it.

@Kimberlybee: I'm similar to you, very close to my pre pregnancy weight but unhappy with my jiggly mom belly

- eat more fruit, drink more water
- take better care of my skin (I often skip moisturizer at night)
- spend more time alone (for my mental health!)
