Okay ladies, when the exercise challenge goes up, so does the goals thread!

My goals for February:

1) In keeping with the exercise challenge, move for 800 minutes.
2) Lose 6 lbs (hopefully more!) -- hit 193.
3) Drink 2L of water/day
4) Stay on top of course readings
5) Plan my meals EVERY DAY (including weekends!!)
6) Keep consumption of refined sugars to a minimum!

Keeping it simple this month.

• Be diligent and plan (and pre-prepare where possible) my food well in advance
• Practice yoga 4 times per week
• Walk the dogs nightly
• Begin and finish reading 3 new books this month

I will also keep it simple

-write down everything that goes in my body
- keep up with 5/week workouts
- no pop

Well I'll try to keep it simple....

• Prepare lunches ahead of time.
• Work out at least 20 minutes a day 5 days out of the week
• Accomplish all of my 'school' work AT work
• Log EVERYTHING that I put into my body on FitDay

Hmm for some reason I'm having trouble creating my goals so these are up for editing.
* Continue the C25K program
* Plan my weekends
* Start my outlines for my classes and stay on top of my homework
* Continue doing my dishes daily so they don't get piled up (I know its a random one).

*Keep up going to the YMCA 5-6 days a week. 60 minutes of cardio/fat burn/weight lifting or basketball.
*Keep up my calorie counting, and using my fitday to somewhat plan.
*Start to try to plan meals ahead of time to make it easier.
*Walk Dixie More
*Read the YOU on a diet book more. (I haven't lifted it up in a long while to read it..the only time I touched in a couple of weeks was to get to my 10lb weights from underneath it. lol.)
*Do 1100-1200 minutes of exercise.
*Remember to remind myself that the weight isn't going to come off quick, and I need to be patient & keep up the great work. That I can do it, and to keep my chin up!

-keep doing my 60 min yoga before rehearsal (if only to keep me from fire bombing my section)
-continue to make "unnecessary" trips all over campus when I can't get intentional exercise in.
-venture into the campus fitness center at some point
-NO REQUESTING DB TO PICK UP CHOCOLATE ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK
-don't let the satisfaction of maintaining lead to sabatoge.
-use the brand-new planner I spent 40 bucks on.
-lose 15 pounds and acquire six-pack abs by my party next weekend.... juuuuuuuuust kidding....

I am going to my parent's home and moving to rural Peru in February.

Goals for my parents house:

1. Stay on my diet. Mom will make her super casserole, but I will only have a little bit. And I will not feel bad about it.

2. Use my FIRM videos. No gym, but I can still sweat.

Goals for Peru:

1. Yes, celebrate with friends. But drink in moderation, and stay away from the bakeries.

2. Use my videos every day. No gym, no jogging or outside exercise, but in my room I can sweat.

3. Lunges, squats, pushups, crunches. I will do these. My room will be my own makeshift gym.

4. KEEP AWAY FROM THE BAKERIES!!!

5. And most important - Look at these goals and within my first week of getting there, getting into the habit of keeping them.

1. Meet my Valetine's Day Goal -- 154 lbs. -- this is sooo important to me and will be my gift to myself.

2. Get to 152 lbs. by end of February

3. Eat more fresh, whole foods and continue to cut down on processed foods.

Goals for February:

1. Incorporate more fresh veggies into my diet

2. Lose two lbs

3. Complete 300 minutes of "exercise"

4. Continue eating at least three meals a day with small snacks

5. Drink more water

6. Find a part time job

7. Continue logging my food into Fitday EVERYDAY

I'm so busy, I don't know if I can make it simple:

1) Be sure to get my exercise in 3x per week
2) Walk on the treadmill at work at least 3x per week (during lunch)
3) Don't eat out during lunch, unless 1 day a week
4) Go to all of my classes and be sure to get all of my reading done
5) Don't take any days off from work, unless sick
6) Go back to putting everything in FitDay (Haven't done it for a while)
7) MOST IMPORTANT: Lose the last 5 pounds to get down to 280 and hopefully the next 5 to hit 40 pounds lost total!

Good Luck to Everyone!
