August catch up & September goals

So I suck at setting realistic goals for the month as I haven't fully achieved any of my august goals-but shhhhhhh don't tell anyone. 

1. Sticking to my training plan-was very hit & miss. I had some good runs & sometimes I was downright lazy. 

2. Return to the gym and start lifting weights-well I joined the gym half way through the month & have done weights when I've gone but I haven't gone consistently. 

3. Try new recipes! Well you should have a pastry less quiche recipe coming but I have not made ice lollies or tried any other recipes. So yeah I suck at setting goals

So my more relistic goals for September are as follows:

1. Work out at least 4 times a week a mix of runs or gym workouts. 

2. Give up chocolate and cheese for September this is a hard one for me- after being plagued by bad skin most of the summer I'm cutting out these two to see if it effects my face. Teenage skin in my twenties are never really the dream combination. 

I also plan to blog more in September but life seems to get in the way....

August goals!

So I'm going to try and make myself accountable to my fitness goals, so by publishing my goals on the internet that means I have to follow through right?!? I hope so...

Right confession time-I didn't stick to my half marathon training plan in July so 

1. Follow the training plan and kick my butt at increasing speed. Tempo runs are in the plan and I should gently be increasing my mileage, my favourite part of training for an event. 

2. Join a new gym and return to weights. I've started a new job and as much as I love my current gym (and I really do) it's no longer on my commute. So I want a gym the same price and that doesn't have a male dominated weight area. 

3. Try new recipes. Last month I loved having a rice crust quiche for lunch and trying actual recipes rather then just 'throwing things together.' I also brought myself ice lolly mould MONTHS ago which I have yet to use so I lollys must feature in my diet this month. 

What are your fitness goals? Do you find it harder or easier to work out in the summer months?
