Welcome to February: Love Yourself into Fitness this Month!
 

During the month of January; I am happy to report that I lost 1/2 inch off my waist, hips and upper thighs. I "gained" 1 1/2" (muscle) in my upper arms!

Since this worked so well for me for January, a "good thing" bears repeating!

Again, my personal goal is to exercise every day for the entire month of February. Caveat to all: I have been working out (upper body) with a reinjured left shoulder and left elbow)---I needed to follow my own advice, which I did not but I am now! Warm up cold muscles before doing any kind of exercising and when injured R.I.C.E.

Pam :comp: :coach:

I'm going to shoot for the same goals as January! I might be MIA towards the end of the month due to a visitor but I'll be keeping track and will come back and edit when I've the chance.

Good luck everyone! :)

I was hit and miss with my exercise and posting last month. Looking forward to starting fresh in February. I would love to do the 5k in October. It will probably take me the full 9 months to train for it LOL so I better get started now. I am going to shoot for 63 miles on the treadmill.
14 days at 1.5 miles and 14 days at 3 miles. I guess I need to get good at walking before I add the running in. So this month is only about the miles, next month I will up my pace. I think I am at 3 miles an hour, maybe a little faster.

My goal is to exercise at least 3 times a week. I am just getting started. I hope I can reach this goal.

Thanks for the thread, Joy! My goal is to walk 20 times this month.

Goal: Walk 20 times

2/1: 1.5-mile walk around neighborhood/ 19 times to go

Feb goal - complete weeks 5-8 of 12 week program
 

Hi all, since I made it through weeks 1-4 with the help of this thread I'm shooting for weeks 5-8 this month. I can't tell you how many times the thought of what I would post got me to do something!

Welcome and welcome back everyone!

During the 18 days I am home, I am aiming for 2000 minutes of exercise.

01: 3.3 mile doggie walk 55 min; weights 45 min; swim 45 min; 145

Being "in the black" is not a good thing in this thread!

January was a bust for me...I just could not get into the habit of logging exercise. (There are too many new habits I am trying to acquire at once.) Well...one of my New Year's Resolutions was to make new resolutions every month. So...I'm trying to decide whether I should "resolve" to committing fully to this thread in Feb or just try harder. Anyway, I'm back to try again.

GardenerJoy I'll be getting some of that snow shoveling exercise you keep getting! we're supposed to get a pretty good storm Tuesday into Wednesday. I bet you can't wait to transition to shoveling dirt in the garden, I know I can't!!

great start everyone! best to all :sunny:

Feb 3. Walk 30 minutes. 12618 steps.

Unfortunately my exercise class was cancelled due to inclement weather. Walked in the house instead. Boring but doable.

Ok, I feel I need to join this group this month. I've been getting lazier and lazier with my running (mostly because it's summer!) and I need to start making myself accountable. I'm almost at my goal weight and I want to see what weight I can get down to before May (IVF month :D). Typically I like to get out 3x a week, but it's been 1-2 lately. (It's gloomy today, so I'm going out this afternoon LOL)

My goal would be to run 3x a week this month.

I just have to keep telling myself that it's almost May :carrot:

Welcome, everyone! Did I get your goal stated correctly?

There's room for more! Join us. We're going to have a fun month!
