Hey Ladies, I am just starting out and going through a separation so this month is going to be absolutely insane. I really think this will help me have some sort of balance. I am going to keep it simple but I hope to exceed my expectations!
January's Goal's
Start every day with stretching or yoga.
Stop eating chocolates and crap at the office.
Not lose it mentally
Make it through a Bikram session!
I have no idea what my weight loss goal should be since I have been away from the game for a year now. I hope I will lose without trying too hard due to the stress so I am just going to see what happens and re-evaluate for February.
January's Workout/progress Log:
Jan 05: 2 power walk breaks at work and today is my Bikram yoga research day. I am so nervous about this but in a good way.

Jan 02: 20 minute stretch DVD, some extra stair climbing.... messed up on food became frustrated, nervous and ate bad late. Dusting myself off tomorrow I'll do better!
Jan 03:
Jan 04: Well, I ran up 3 flights of stairs and walked down 3 flights of stairs... that was about it. I was too tired to do anything else. How people who have 12 hour shifts day after day manage exercise, I will never know..
Jan 05: Slept...played catch up with my bed =\ I know. Bad way to go. On the positive, I've lost 2lbs all ready though

Doing good so far! Just had my first official weigh in and I lost 3.2 pounds!!! First week weigh in is always so happy. ^_^ I should be able to make 7 pounds by the end of the month easy.
January Goals:
ACTUALLY start, instead of the "good for 3 days then stop again" thing I've been doing
Lose 7 pounds
Drink only water / cut out the diet soda
Only have a treat if I have the calories left
Don't skip my fitness class unless I absolutely have to because of something else going on
*Workout Log:
Jan 02: First official day, TPU
Jan 03: Non workout day
Jan 04: TPU
Jan 05: Non workout day, but I took a walk with my daughter to the grocery store for bread, 1.7 miles round trip

*My fitness class in Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I'll try to get some activity in the other days, but it's not manditory for me just yet. I'm just starting back at this after an unplanned year "off". The class is called Total Pump Up, which I'll shorten to TPU, and is one hour of light weight training along with just enough cardio to keep the heart rate up. Burns roughly 500 calories and works every muscle group.
I am already so glad I joined this challenge. I totally forgot about stretching this morning and now I am about to do some office yoga to correct that!
