My December goal is REALLY ambitious! My friend and I signed up for a half-marathon. It's in February and my goal is to be able to walk the entire 13 miles. This week I plan to walk/jog four days a week, four miles a day, and then increase my daily mileage every week until I can walk/jog 8 miles by December 31.

Jogging is my favorite form of exercise, so I'm looking forward to the challenge!

My December goal is to exercise at least 6days a week. I am using the 30day Jillian Michaels Shred and I add 20-25 minutes of cardio as well. Usually on weekdays I'm good, but the weekends kill my motivation. Good luck everyone!

Wow - encelia - that is ambitious! I am a fan of jogging as well...it is SUCH good stress relief!

Cinnamon - I'm with ya, I don't get up in the a.m. to exercise on the weekends, no can do.

encelia,

Awesome goal! Have you tried the Jeff Galloway run/walk training? I did a full marathon in 2001 and his method is great for building up to a long distance.

Lets get it started
 

Im new to this 3FC but Im diggin' it so far. I went to the doc yesterday cuz I have been suffering from headaches and eye twitching and he said I am fatigued and I couldnt figure out why. Well maybe its because I am inhaling crap for food and no excercise. Up until a month ago I was taking taekwondo and felt great. Then I had to take a break for my daughter's cheerleading. So now here I am 170 pounds at 5'4" and not happy with myself. Thankfully some co-workers talked me into taking a spin class today at lunch and it was awesome. I am just trying to stay motivated. Im up for anything. I have suffered with fattiness my entire life and come from a long line of fatties! I was raised on homemade tortillas and beans. Go figure. I just need an overhaul. :dizzy:

My December goals are to workout 6 days a week, eat cleanly(avoiding the holiday desserts that are pushed on me) in my calorie range (1200-1500), not stress too much. Currently I'm at 183.6lbs I'd like to get to 175lbs by the 31st.

Goal for December
 

My goal is to pull out the Wii Fit and start doing at least 20 minutes a day of aerobics, with a few more minutes of Yoga and strength training. I've managed to do this for a few days and hope to keep it up.

I know it doesn't sound like much but compared to the nothing I was doing before it is good. It will also build me up so I can stand longer bouts of exercise; as it is running for 5 minutes in place winds me (sad!!). Hopefully that will change.

Angela-don't down play where you start. We start where we start and we work to get stronger. I started my journey years ago ago at 260lbs and walking my dog 20 minutes a day. Today, I'm 179.8lbs and just finished up Jillian Michaels DVD No More Trouble Zones (40 minuite circuit style old school mat work w/3lb weights) and Biggest Loser's WeightLoss Yoga Level 1(20min + 5 min cooldown). Be patient and do not forget to celebrate the small successes along the way.

My goal is to use the treadmill at least 6 days per week for 30-40 mins. I have been getting in 30 minutes easy but I have just recently decided I need to go at least 40 minutes.

Then right after the treadmill I go upstairs and use my ab roller and do my leg exercises and within the past month I added the plank back into my routine. That is an amazing abdominal exercise. I started out where I would shake terribly after holding it for about 30 seconds but now I am up to about 70 seconds before I stop. My goal is to hold it for at least 100 second by the end of Dec!

I need new sneakers because the ones I have now are no good but when I get them then I want to really get back into jogging on the treadmill. I want to so badly at times when I am on it but if I do it hurts my legs because I don't have the correct sneakers so I just walk at 3.8 on a varying incline.

I thought it would be a good idea to get in here and set some goals. My goal is to just start doing some exercise! It has been a few weeks since I have done any real workout, I have been quite sick though too so I have an excuse haha. I want to start doing my karate again a few times a week along with running and strength training. And throw some elliptical in there too lol. I think just to start out I want to do karate, running, and strength training 3 times this week.

My goal this moth is getting on the treadmill and run/walk 4 at least 4 miles per day.

I see some goals posted - WOOHOO!! How's it going so far?
