Canada Day/Independence day challenge!
 

New challenge thread for this month! :D

Challenge begins June 1st and runs to Canada Day/Independence Day weekend!

If you would like to join in please post the following:

Current weight:
July 1 Mini-goal: lbs to be lost
and/or
Non-scale goal: new routine, habit or other goal...i.e increase activity, take vitamins, make lunch everyday for work, etc.

Okay here is my plan.... :)

Current weight: 171lbs
Non-scale goal: establish a daily exercise routine by putting out my exercise gear and setting up the DVD player with my tape of choice each night before going to bed - then I have no excuses in the morning! :drill:

June Plan:

Current weight: 164 lbs
Mini-goal: 160 lbs
Non-scale goal: This month is all about my back. I will spend 15 minutes 3x a week on lower back exercises. Also, I will keep improving my posture. At work I will not let the back of the chair hold me up.

I'm happy with my overall exercise level, and my food choices. Just a matter of keeping it up :)

June Plan:

Current size: 10s and 12s
Goal size: Solid 10s (be able to breath while wearing them)
Strength-training commitment: quit cheating on my ab and lower back workouts. I hate doing them for some dumb reason but those muscles are just as important as legs which I LOVE working out.
Non-scale goal: To not stop working out / eating healthy once cheer starts next week. Get up in the AM and get it done!

235 (I can’t even believe it, I was down to 199 2/04 and now I’ve gained all that plus more back ugh!)

Fitness goal: Keep up with my two times a week, aim for three times a week and for excercising at home on the weekends. Keep working on improving my abs and strengthening my back.

Food goal: Collect low fat/calorie recipes to start using, learn ways to lower the calories/fat on the recipes I already use. Get organized and start filing those recipes I found into my dieting binder and then when I want to use them I will know where they are – gee what a novel idea. :)

Personal goal: Start the gratitude journal again and keep up with it this time!

CW: 192
M-GW: 188
N-SG: Plan my eating every day and stick to it.
EG: Exercise 3X a week for at least 1/2 hr.

CW- 200
MGW- 196
Treadmilling or walking six days a week

Well I start my new exercise plan tomorrow so here goes :crossed:

I need to adjust my goal. Instead of it being just a solid 10, I need to push it down to getting into an 8. The 10s I wore yesterday had a lot of room and so did the ones I had on today.

1 lb down this week :)

4lbs down this week! Why the heck does the scale STICK for a while and then just free fall? Drives me nuts, except for on the week that it falls!

Current weight:257
July 1 Mini-goal: 7lbs
Non-scale goal: Find a tai chi workout tape. Start walking 15 minutes 2x a week. Working up to 30 minutes 3x a week

my only goal is to stick with what I have going on right now. Eating healthy! Exercising as often as I can! I seem to be losing around a .5 to 1 pound a week which I am more than happy with. I feel like a "normal" person. Not out of control binge eating person and not deprived this sucks person. I am sooooo proud of myself.

Yay ME!

WooHoo! That's so awesome. Balance is a beautiful thing. :D :cp:

ok so i'm starting a little late on this one. i just got internet in my new apartment. so since i got out of the habit of eating really good and working out alot due to the move and that i don't have anywhere to go workout and have to use videos (not my fave, i love the gym). i am redoing the first two weeks of south beach to detox from all the fatty food and chocolate. fortunately i managed to maintain my weight.

so starting weight: 137
goal: 135
