Hard to believe but June 21 will be here before we know it!!! Let's get ready for summer!!!! Yes, that's right..another challenge!! List your goals...and goals don't always have to be about your weight..it could be about drinking more water, taking vitamins...working out!!! Let's do this!!!!!!!!!

I turn 40 in three weeks, but I'm hoppin' on this thread! I've got three month-of-May goals, but June 21st might be more realistic!

1. I made a deal with myself that any "skinny" clothes that do not fit me right now are going into a bag. If they don't fit by summer, they're being donated.

2. I would really like to drop 5-6 pounds and keep it off.

3. The sugar addiction has to go.

Yay, Zumba! Here we go again. But the weather is finally turning(wasn't it GORGEOUS in NY yesterday?) and I feel better just being back on 3fc. Here are my goals:

1) 12+ cups of water a day
2) Supplements every day
3) Exercise 5x/week, 2 of which will include jogging
4) Wear pedometer daily and get up to at least 5000 steps/day
5) Write down everything consumed
6) No cheat meals/days off at least through Mem Day w/e - will re-evaulate then.

I'm using 139.8 as my starting weight, but I'm thinking I'm really closer to 137(salt and carbs in 2 days prior to weigh-in).

flippy, welcome. Do you have any plans for your birthday?

Hi Natamars! I have 4 hikes planned during the month, a zip-line tour in the mountains, pedicure and overnight stay in a hotel with one friend, a "girls day" with my mom (getting my make-up done professionally and learning how to do it) then lunch, a surprise outing with another friend then a movie night at her house..... so YES! Lol! Lots and lots of plans!

Flippy...those sound like great plans!!!

Natamars..Yes..here we go AGAIN!!! grrrrrr!!!! LOL! Let's make it work this time...your goals sound doable and with the warmer weather maybe we'll have incentive. My motivation was wearing a bikini this past week in florida....BLEH....i want to be able to wear my cute summer clothes with pride....

1) Low carb
2) add weight resistance to my workouts.
3) add bike riding and walking to my workouts.
4) no cheats.....thru memorial day...then reevaluate like Natamars! LOL
5) no sugar
6) up water consumption

I am in...

1- 64 oz's water a day minumum
2- 10,000 steps plus on my pedometer every day
3-C25k 3 days a week
4-Breakfast EVERY day

Great goals Jules.....breakfast every day is so important!

Monday, what went well: 1305 calories, took supplements, 13 min elliptical(ran out of time), 1 hour body sculpting, 83% healthy calories

What could be better: 6281 steps(jules, love your goal, what do you do to get that many in?), only 6 cups water

Woke up @ 3AM with a terrible headache. Had an english muffin with a little butter to get my Advil down, so not a great start, but I need something bland like that when I take a pain reliever or I get sick. Feeling better now.

Practicing my 5K tonight on the treadmill - the race is Saturday. I ran for the first time outside Sunday and it was TERRIBLE - didn't even last a mile. Apparently I am incredibly affected by the humidity. Luckily the forecast for Saturday is cool and dry!

Have a great day!

I would like to join in if I could!
1) Finish 30 Day Shred
2) Watch my sugar
3) Fit in extra walking with my kids when the weather is agreeable!

Hello All

This will be my 3rd Challange with Zumbachic and Natamers and I really hesitated 'cause I have some other challenges I'm working on.

I would just miss you chicks too much so I am in, but not for weight loss.

Min of 64 Oz of Water every day, Do something aerobic for at least 20mins, per morning, Do something aerobic for at least 20mins, per Evening and keep carbs low.

Tuesday, what went well: 1340 calories, 55 min on treadmill including jogging my 5K, over 12000 steps in total, took supplements

Need to improve: 7 glasses water, too many refined carbs(white english muffin, granola bar, 2 Ritz crackers, 100-cal pack), no fruit

Plan for today: I'm donating blood, so I'll allow myself some refined carbs and extra calories today(for some reason a can of Coke makes me feel better after donating). Going to skip the gym tonight. Will focus on tons of water and getting in some fruit.

Izza, great to see you! I love your aerobic exercise goals. I'm struggling with getting in more aerobic activity outside the gym now that the weather has finally improved.

Delta, are you doing the 30DS every day? What level are you on? I have the DVD but have only used it sporadically.

Hi natamars - I am trying to do 30DS six days and then a day off. I was really close to completing about a month and half ago and then hurt my back, so I had to stop doing it for a few weeks. I started level 2 this week (after doing a week of level 1), so we will see how that goes!

Are you gals talking about the 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels. I have that DVD..did you feel it worked? I never really got the ball rolling with it.....

Okay so I'm down a little bit more...Last night was really hard..I came hoome from the gym and was STARVING but had limited choices of what to have due to my low carb diet....Had some cheese but I really wanted chocolate!!!

I have been walking around the building during my breaks at work...I got just under 7000 Tuesday so I was short on my goal..The c25k helps gets steps in too...

Good luck on Saturday!

Zumbachica--I would have wanted the cheese before the chocolate...chips are my down fall...salt over sweet for me, not that I dont like sweet..breakfast is defintely my downfall...bad habits formed way back as a latch key kid...
