Goals for August

Exercise:
My goal for August is again to get in 30 hours of exercise. This month I will focus on interval training in a steep hill close by to improve my performance when climbing hills on the bike. This is definitively where I have most to gain. The small hill I am using is quite steep and at full pace I could get from the bottom to the top in about 5 minutes. However at that speed I am not able to get all the way up yet before my legs gets to stiff. So I am currently doing 3 minutes intervals and will slowly increase the length of each interval until I can go at full pace to the top of the hill. The goal is to be able to do 4 intervals of 4-5 minutes to the top by the end of August. This might not be achievable but I will work hard to get there (and if the goal is to easy to get to I will not push myself hard enough)

We will also be doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred routine Level 2 this month :)

Weight loss:

As for July my goal is to loose another 5kg during August. This will put me down below 125kg. If I manage that it also means I will have lost more then 20kg since January 1st :)

For my measurements it is difficult to set a goal other then to achieve the same as I did during July.

Long therm weight loss:

Fora  bit more long-therm goal we are going to the Canary Islands for two weeks starting November 4th. Which is now 3 months away. My goal is to by then be below 115kg which might be to ambitious, but again I want a goal to stretch against and to keep me pushing myself. I will set up a chart here on the blog where I will add my weight every Sunday morning to keep track of my progress.
