Ok ladies its time for a new month and new goals!! So what will your goal be for this month? Making sure you eat every 3 hrs? Journaling? Exercising?? Gulping down more water?!?! Losing a certain amount of weight?!? Come on, lets post those goals for Feb!!!
I don't know - weight-wise I am working toward an initial 10lb loss for Valentines Day and it seems I will get there just fine. My next mini-goal will be to get to 190 (that is 7 more pounds) by St. Patty's day.
Maybe my NSV goal will be to make time for myself to do my Tai Chi every day - some days I get lazy and I cheat myself out of that - I really need to not do that since the Tai Chi is very helpful for me in battling panic attacks etc.
My goals for this month...
1) Exercise a minimum of 5 days....8 Min move daily and at least 3 cardio.
2) Drink that water....100 + oz is a lot!!!!!
3) Not skip on snacks...I get busy with life and still forget periodically.
4) Pick 2 days...on which not worry about the program. Stay within limits, but not worry about an full dessert, or watching carbs. One of these should be a "date" night with dh. The other a family time.
5) Join in with the exercise challenge. DH purchased me a pedometer 2 years ago. I have never even used it! SAD!!!
Well, this looks like the right place to put my recommitment pledge!
My goal for February is to recommit to the lifestyle seriously.
1. Start doing those 8MM again. I may change the exercises a bit though, I'm tired of the same old ones.
2. Get 3 sessions of 30 minutes exercise per week! 1 for my line dancing class (1.5 hours), 1 for 30 minutes of cycling and 1 more for cycling, skating or skiing!
3. Eat healthy! I will be trying to eat closer to Canada's recommended healthy eating. With the weight loss, Jorge has us only eating 3 portions of carbs, but I will be trying to get one more portion of grains with a snack, and more fruits and veggies as well.
4. Keep my promise I made to my husband to try to not exceed 1 pound of weight loss per week.
A bit of history on me to explain this one:
I had very low energy problems for almost 2 months due to the way we eat to lose those 2 pounds per week and all the extra exercises I was doing (jogging). I burned myself out completely. I hadn't realized that if I was jogging, I needed to increase my food as well. Plus the fact that I lost over 60 pounds in a year, my body needed a break from weight loss. I can tell you that being so close to your final goal and having to maintain your weight is not very pleasant to hear from your doctor. But your health comes first!
5. Water! Drink lots of water! This is so hard for me to do! But I will try!
6. Weight Loss goal for February: 5 pounds.
OK, well....I hate to say it but I did not make my January goal. I was supposed to be at 128 but I am at 130. So........here are my Feb goals:
1. Join in the Feb Challenge and exercise at least 5 X a week - cardio for 30min-1 hour and alternating upper and lower body workouts.
2. Lose 5 pounds by the end of Feb to be 125.
Food:
Journal everything daily, cut back a little on carbs, drink 96oz of water daily, no eating after 8p.m.
Exercise:
Curves 3x's a wk, ride my exercise bike 4x's a wk for a minimum of 20 min., add more cardio by doing my watp tapes and other various exercise tapes/dvds.
I joined the step challenge and got my pedometer today.
1. Keep journal on this site. It has really helped me!
2. Exercise 3x a week. This is so hard for me because I am so busy.
3. I would like to be at 150 or less by the end of Feb.
