I haven't done one of these since July. I think maybe it's just what I need. Care if I join in?

The goal I'm already working at is 100 miles (I do WATP videos) in March. :running: OK, have to change this one. Got some killer new videos that don't measure in miles so I think I'll change it to at least 45 minutes of exercise 6 days a week. That's the same as 3 miles a day pretty much so it should all even out. I'll try to rotate videos every other day

I would also like to lose 10 pounds by Easter. If I count my cals EVERYDAY this should be possible. I want to stay under 1450 for now (my daily plate says 1454) and will lower that later. No off track days this whole month! If I'm running low on cals by dinner at night I will eat a small salad. This CAN be done. :hun:


March 1: 8 Miles and 1,438 Cals
March 2: 7 Miles and 1,449 Cals (Barely made it!)
March 3: 4 Miles and 1,449 Cals
March 4: 3 Miles and 1,444 Cals
March 5: 5.5 Miles and ~1,700 Cals (I had a drink after work and some pizza for dinner......NAUGHTY!)
March 6: 8 of my 10 Minute Solutions Workouts and 1,377 Cals
March 7: 3 of my 10 Minute Solutions Workouts and 1470 Cals

March 8: 3 Miles and 1,770 Cals Grrrr!
