    January Goals:

    1) Weigh less on February 1 than I did on January 1, by whatever amount that turns out to be.

    2) Be willing to try whatever my personal trainer suggests. We had a long talk yesterday & he pointed out he's limited in what he can have me do because I'm stubborn about certain things. Time to let him call the shots.

    3) Log my food every day.

    January goal, continue losing one pound a week. Go on trail every day it doesn't rain and I am home. Do nia, yoga dvd's on rainy days.

    I love all the contributions to this thread!

    I should be posting goals (lord knows I've made and remade them!), but just as with the past six months, there's still this question of my legs. And although I plan to use the ibuprofen until the 15th, whether I'm better on that day or not doesn't mean anything. If I'm "better", I'll constantly be "testing the water" with every activity. And if I'm not "better", it only means that I'll just have to try sme thing else. So most of the goals I have of working out are tentative at best.

    But I like Laura's weight loss goal. Totally doable whether I'm working out daily or not and whether I'm doing strength (which often stunts normal losses) or not. I had wanted about 8lb loss January (accounting for initial water, plus fat loss) but I think leaving it open ended for now is better.

    1. Weigh less at the end of the month. (Thanks Laura!)
    2. Take some sort of "before" picture this month, to drive me
    3. Make more goals after the 15th, according to the state of my legs.


    That should do it for now, while I work out some tactics for achieving my goals.

    End of Week 1 recap:
    1) still working on it
    2) this is going really well. Had great workouts this past week.
    3) Tuesday night went so far off the rails I even stopped logging. The other days I've done it, even when it's been ugly.

    1. So far, so good. Last check was at -5lbs.
    2. Started to try it with a bikini I want to wear again, but ... HA! No way! Defying the laws of physics is not on my "to do" list! I will consider taking one in either a bikini that fits, or some spandex-y workout clothes.
    3. Coming sooon...

    I know befores aren't supposed to be good, but I kick myself because I did it to myself while I was in USA last year. I was so much smaller and so much closer to goal...why?! Why?! Why did I lose control in America! Boohooohooo. :s
