Every month this year I have made (and stuck with) a major change that has helped my weight loss goals.
In Jan I started logging everything I eat.
In Feb I started going to the gym daily.
In March I added 30DS and C25K, and made it a goal to remember my meds daily and drink water.
In April, I think I will implement a new rule. No eating in the car. It's not as drastic as going to the gym every day or drinking water, but it's a rule that will help me in the long run. And no walking through the kitchen when I get home from work after midnight.
The last couple weeks of last month I was not exercising, so this month I made a resolution to do at least 25 minutes of cardio 6 days a week this month.
Okay. I love love love the No eating in the car resolution! I am going to start that one today (though I can count yesterday because I didn't eat in the car)
Now I will only see one exemption to the rule. If I am travelling a long distance (going away for the weekend) I will allow myself to eat in the car but only if it is health snacks... fruits, vegetables, healthy sandwich.. etc!
Hmm I think a good resolution for this month for me would to get back into the routine of drinking protein shakes after my gym workout/any workout. I seemed to have fallen out of that one and need to start kicking at it again.
At the end of the month, we should all post in here and tell everyone if we succeeded at this resolution!
Ok so this month I want to start exercising at least 4 times a week. That seems so easy but this last go around I can't seem to make myself go to the gym which is so weird because it has always been the other way around for me. Hard to stick to the healthy eating but going to the gym five days a week. The thing about it is that I really enjoy working out and I know that and I keep telling myself that, but I have yet to make the seriously two minute drive to the gym.
My resolution is to: go to the gym at least twice a week, regardless of my lacrosse schedule, and try to exercise at least 6 times total - because who says I can't go to the gym after practice? - though preferably more throughout the week.
Mine is to track on the Daily Plate everyday and aim for about an hour of exercise every night. I'd like to hit the calorie marks for TDP but it's been two days now and I was 100 and 300 calories over. Oops. I guess I'll aim for it and at least be happy if I'm tracking and exercising.
Love the no eating in the car! When i started my WL I made the rule that I can only eat at a table (except for fiber bars, and whole fruits or veggies), that helped a lot.
April Resolution: Do whatever it takes to lose 10 more pounds!
