So what's the point in setting goals if you don't look back at how you did when the end of the month comes around?

HERE is the February goals thread. Go find yours, copy your entry, and come back here to let everybody know how you did! Then make sure to set some new goals for March, so we know where we're trying to go over the next month. They don't have to be just about diet & nutrition & fitness, either.

(If you're new or don't want to revisit your Feb goals, you can just come here to post your March goals too!)


February Goals
1) Meet February exercise goal of 700 minutes
2) Read all of my materials for my oral exam in April so I can re-read in March
3) Keep spending down to below $1k (excluding rent, including utilities)
4) Call my mother
5) Go to all my WW meetings

How I did
1) Unless I get in 120 minutes of exercise tonight, I'm not meeting it. I came close, though, and only really messed up my progress this last week. I'm proud of what I did accomplish, though. Goal not met.
2) Er.... Haven't even started. That is a bad, bad thing. Goal not met.
3) I was right on track with this one until about four days ago. Goal not met.
4) Goal met!
5) Goal met!

Whoa... only 2/5 for me. That's not so hot. Looking to improve this month...


March Goals
1) Meet March exercise goal of 700 minutes.
2) Keep expenses under $1.2k (I have a trip this month so I can't do $1k).
3) Track food intake EVERY day, even when it's not so hot.
4) Don't go over weekly allotted flex points/eat at least up to points target every day.
5) Drink water!!


Now, how about the rest of you?

I didn't have any specific February goals, but I think it would do me some good to set some March ones.
1: eat breakfast before work at least 4 out of 5 mornings

2: exercise 4.5 hours a week: I do 3 full hours at the gym every week during my lunch breaks (they give you 3 90 minute lunches at my office if you use them to work out so I do have time to get over there and shower afterwards)so I will need to fit in an extra hour and a half some time during each week.

3: I want to lose at least a pound a week so my weight goal is 154.5

4: no alcohol for March, I drank more calories than I wanted to last month and they were almost all beer and wine calories.

I'm new to this (kind of...I've done this before - but a LONG time ago). So here are my goals for March, then I'll go post on the Exercise thread.

Goals for March:
-Work on getting down to only 3 pops/week
-Pack a healthy lunch/snacks every day
-No food from the vending machines
-Work out at least 6 days a week
-Get down to 140 lbs

March Goals:
1. Exercise cardio 5 days a week
2. Weight train at least 3 days a week
3. Lose 5 pounds
4. Drink 80 oz water a day
5. Cut back on coffee

I was right on track with my February goals until I got sick. *sigh* I had one day of binge eating because I was miserable and got no exercise for a week.

So I'm going to stick with the same goal, because I think I can meet it!
1) stay below 1800 calories every day (while varying my actual intake so my metabolism can't adjust)
2) exercise a total of 360 minutes in March. That's three hours a week, with a little bit of fudge room. Doable, I think.
3) If I stick to those goals I won't have any trouble with this, but I need to break the 200-pound barrier. I've been hovering above it and I think some part of me is afraid to get below it, because it will mean that I've really begun to lose weight. It'll make this whole diet thing become real.

Even though I didn't meet my goal, I did pick up some really good habits and started using the treadmill again. So, I feel good about the month.

1) Lose 6 pounds. Get at or below 200 lbs.
2) Use the treadmill at least 25 days this month.
