  • 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
  • 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

    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!

    Best to all

  • 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.
