Happy First Day of October, everybody!

I love the start of a new month. It always makes me feel like I have a fresh slate when I flip the calendar to a new month.

My goal for the month is to get outside and walk more since the weather is cooling down.

I also like to set new goals for each month. I have set a goal to be 1 pound thinner each month. That is the only goal as far as weight loss. My healthy living goal is to drink at least 6 bottles of water a day.

"A pinch and a punch for a new new month!" that's what we used to say to each other as kids, and some of the punches were quite painful. My goal is to look for a new hobby before the month is over. I'm open to anything as long as it involves a lot of physical activity.

I just joined the forum. Yes, it is a new month and I am starting out on a new healthy life. I am hoping that talking to other people about it will be encouraging and inspirational.

Nice to be here!

Welcome to the forum lorri!

I'm starting my new month today, which also includes quitting smoking

Thank you for the welcome.

Quitting smoking? Good for you. Maybe we can help each other out with that too. I'm a smoker. I really shouldn't. Not just for money reasons but also because a friend of mine is very sick and in hospital with COPD and pneumonia. I really need to quit but it is so hard.

Happy October everyone!


I did really well on the 1st, not so well on the 2nd and am doing well so far on the third! I'm doing sober October and also trying to eat healthily!
