Weight and Resistance Training - Fabulous February Challenge!

OK, so perhaps it's not quite February till Wednesday, but today and tomorrow are my *BONUS* February days! :rofl:

Here's the deal... I have a careers convention at my old school on March 3rd. I would dearly love to get into a pair of size 12 (US8) trousers by then. They fasten but I wouldn't risk sitting down in them! :lol:

I have had a horrendous 3 days of eating (mainly from being tired and bored and tired and travelling and tired). Yesterday I made lemon chicken, roast veggies and pre-boiled up a TON of brown rice. I don't have anything planned for any weekends in February, so I SHOULD be able to cope ok and get ON PLAN and STAY THERE for at least 4 weeks.

I'm going to make this a point challenge, since I enjoyed the last one we did last year! Sooooooooo

1 point for CLEAN EATING :eating2: (only 1 "processed" item a day which includes wheat bread)
1 point for 4 pints WATER :rain: (plus "matching" my Pepsi intake)
1 point for EXERCISE :hyper: (or a planned rest day)
1 point for MINDSET :idea: (because that's the most important thing at the moment)

Everyone join in, let's make February Fabulous and you can make up your own point system, as long as every day is a possible 4!

Mel

Psst Mel... :sssh: I forgot Jan 31st! :rofl:

OK, me, too. I really need to get back on track. Thanks so much 2F. Maybe Jan 31 is a "gimme" day for you? Collect all 4 points and move to Feb 1st! Since water is not an issue for me, I will exchange that with listening to my body and stopping when it needs rest (:listen: )

Oh, me too. Amazingly, it's the water one I'm falling down on a lot lately. :shrug: With DH away, the eating has continued to be good, though boring. I just eat what I've made til it's gone, then make something else. :lol: This week it's chicken. I have some marinating in the fridge, and will grill it tonight. The real challenge will be at the end of the month. I have a conference the 23-26 which includes several pre-set meals. I have, however, opted for a hotel (other than the conference one) which has a kitchenette so I can bring my own breakfast and snacks (of course, it also has free internet service too. :) )

Good idea, Frus! I’ll join. I’ve got a pair of trousers rather like yours: I can zip them up but I wouldn’t like to sit down in them for very long. Seems a shame as they’re just right for this kind of weather.

I’m planning to be away twice in February, once in London (2-3 days) and once with my parents (7-8 days). That should make it interesting.

:yawn: Switch off light before 2215 – 1 point

:yes: Eat clean – 1 point

:cool: Eat moderate portions – 1 point

:dancer: Work out or take ‘active rest’ every day – 1 point

Watch out for the missing date, everyone! Clue: it comes between 18 and 20.

Jan 30th - 2 points (food let me down)
Jan 31st - 4 points
Feb 1st - 3 points (ate a bit too much)
Feb 2nd - 1 point (officially lost in TOM Twilight Zone, only managed active rest and I think that backfired on me)
Feb 3rd - 0 points (going down into the Vortex)
Feb 4th - 1 point (re-emerging. Did exercise.)
