This worked pretty good for me for May, so I'm doing another one. I know it's already the 4th, but hey, we got this!
1) Lose 10 lbs (weight of 207.2 lbs). Note: my previous multi-year low was 212.
2) Log 60 miles walking and/or jogging (beach walks earn double miles).
3) Log at least 10 weight training sessions.
What you bringing to July?

This sounds like a really good idea - perhaps I will join you on these goals!
Since I'm relatively new to the whole exercise thing, I'm going to start off with losing 5 pounds, logging 20 miles of jogging, and 5 weight training sessions since we're nearly halfway through June...
We'll see how it works, eh?
But good luck to you - one of these days I'll catch up and we can race, haha!0 -
I'm losing some ground in that I'm on a business trip this week and forced to stay in a hotel that doesn't have a gym and am precluded from walking or running. Going to have to double down during this weekend and the following two weeks.
As for racing, I'm only racing myself. I did a 5K this past weekend and I've seen water run uphill faster.0 -
Hey y'all. I like this monthly challenge thing. I'm just finishing up 2-week vacation and weighed in this morning. Ugh! Up 8 1/2 pounds. I'm going to jump into the June challenge with two weeks left and see what I can do with 2 weeks left.
1- Walk 20 miles (2.5 - 3 miles x 3-4 times weekly)
2- Accurately log calories on my MFP app daily. Stay at or below 1500 daily net calories, 85%
3- Lose the 8+ lbs that I gained during vacation, and be back to 198 by 6/28/13.

Since I record my progress on Friday's and this is the last Friday of the month, it's the end of "my" month. So how did I do?(From June 14th) Hey y'all. I like this monthly challenge thing. I'm just finishing up 2-week vacation and weighed in this morning. Ugh! Up 8 1/2 pounds. I'm going to jump into the June challenge with two weeks left and see what I can do with 2 weeks left.

Well... Since posting my self-challenge, two weeks ago:
1- Logged 9 walks, for 30.13 miles
2- I logged my calories accurately and stayed below 1500 net calories in all but two weekend days.
3- I lost 6 of the 8 lbs gained while on vacation.
I'd call it 2 1/2 out of 3 and give myself a "B" overall. Stay tuned as I plan to challenge myself for the next four weeks as well!

Well, here's how I did:
1) Lose 10 lbs (weight of 207.2 lbs). Note: my previous multi-year low was 212.
Didn't happen. My weight stuck around the 213-214 range. But I did start lifting and taking creatine. And despite not losing the weight, I have dropped another pants size (36 - 34).
2) Log 60 miles walking and/or jogging (beach walks earn double miles).
Did almost 72 miles (none of which were beach walks. I even did a few short runs that I'm not counting in this mileage.
3) Log at least 10 weight training sessions.
I got in four. But they were very good sessions.0 -
Good job amisnercpa. I'm looking forward to getting back to size 34s. It'll be the first time since 1997? I have to wear a belt for my 36-"ers, so it's right around the corner.
And 72 miles is some serious dedication!0
