Time for a new CC holiday challenge!

Memorial Day is 6 weeks away (May25). Set a goal, ANY goal, that you want to reach before that date: pounds to lose, a new smaller size in clothing, an exercise or fitness goal you want to work toward. This goal can be anything that motivates YOU to stay on your eating and exercise plan over the next 6 weeks. All are welcome, so please join us, set a goal, and keep coming back to report on your progress, get and give support, or just chat.

(I'll be back later to set a goal for this challenge...right now, I've got to get myself out the door to the gym!)

I'd like to join this challenge. I would LOVE to be to goal by Memorial Day, but I know that it isn't humanly possible for me to lose 16 pounds in 6 weeks. (It was at the beginning of my healthy journey, but not now!) But I might be able to lose 6 pounds in 6 weeks. Hummm

Okay, my challenge is to walk at least 8 miles per week and lose 6 pounds by Memorial Day.

I will join the challenge. I would like to lose 6 - 8 pounds by Memorial Day. That would put me under 210. That will put me closer to my goal to be under 200 by the time school starts back in the Fall.

Morning, peeps!

and good luck to all our new challengers!

I know this is a short challenge for us, but I figured the first real "cookout" holiday of summer sounded better than "flag day", lol! It will motivate me to stay on plan, so I can look as good as possible in short sleeves and shorts this year!

I'd love to say I could get out of the 170s this challenge, but the weight just isn't a reliable milestone for me these days, so I think I need some fitness goals to work toward, instead.

The unassisted pull-up that I'd hoped to get last time, well, I'm thinking that's out of reach, too. Pull-ups are harder than I thought they'd be! So, I will try to set some realistic goals that will still require a bucketload of hard work and commitment on my part:

1) Get 10 kipping pull-ups, all tied together, with the green assistance band (aka giant rubber band that takes some of my excess weight off the pull-up bar). Currently I can do 2 with the green band, and have to use the next size up, the black band, for most of my pull-ups, so this is a challenging goal, but doable, I think.
2) Get 10 "on my toes, chest to floor" push-ups. Hate push-ups. Right now my record is 6 in a row...chest to floor is what makes them so killer!
3) Work up to the 45 lb barbell for OHS (overhead squats), pain free. Right now, I can do the 30 lb barbell pain free, but 45 hurts my wrist, just the extreme angle, apparently, so I need to start using the 30 pounder in my warm-up, then add 5 lbs at a time to get my wrists used to the added weight.

I think that will do me. I have other fitness goals I'm working toward, but none I could say would be accomplished in the next six weeks.

I'd like to join as well! I'd LOVE to lose 9.8 pounds before then, dropping me down into the 160s for the second time in two years, but I'm going on vacation in a week and I'm not sure what's gonna happen while I'm away as far as eating and activity goes.

So I'll set a more realistic goal for half that amount or 5 pounds before Memorial Day. Or course I hope to lose more than that, but 5 would suit me just fine!

I'm in!
