    Okay my goals are:

    -Do not weigh myself until March 1st.
    -Keep my calories consistent!
    -Work out with kettlebells, doing hiit at LEAST four times a week!
    -One day at a time, break my evening snack habit.
    -Drink 80 ounces of water per day.

    Woo Hoo!
    PLEASE hold me accountable, I'm so flighty it's ridiculous!

    Also, taking any new friends that are interactive!!

    *HIGH FIVE*

    Check out BodyFit by Amy. I lurve her. She has a kb playlist.

    My goal will just be to keep on keeping on! :) Feel like I'm doing good right now.....Just want to stick with everything the way I've been doing it. Carbs are under 20 g consistently (total carbs). Walking at lunch whenever I have time. Not snacking and eating mindlessly.

    The only thing I would like to tighten up is my protein overage.....But have only been going over occasionally by 20 g or so, but would still like to get that back down.

    I'm in! January got slack towards the end...
    I'm committing to logging more strictly, keeping carbs under 50g and drinking at least 1l of water a day

    February goals:

    Similar to January....which is:

    Maintain weight within +/- 5 lb.
    Keep carbs in check. Under 50.
    Keep taking collagen daily.
    Get an outdoor walk or jog in at least once per week.
    Stick with my strength training plan each week. (Currently Chalean Extreme)
    Do one household chore each day. I am the worst at housekeeping and this is the goal I usually fail but we'll try again!

    I love Chalean! I have several of her programs, including that one. I have gotten into the best shape of my life years ago with her Turbo Jam series. I would love to work back up to Chalean Extreme. I have a condition (very weird) in my feet that has derailed my exercise over the past few years, so not in the best shape of my life now. ;-). Her programs are great.

    I have a chore app that I love called Tody. You can set schedules for chores and it will send you notifications. You check them off as you do them. It is very customizable so you can add the chores you want and at what schedule you want. I am the kind of person that can't stand apps to have red numbers on them, so it motivates me. Also, it keeps me from going months doing certain things. It is amazing how quickly time passes between doing the things I hate to do. My cat thanks me for changing her litter in a more timely fashion now!

    What kind of collagen do you use? I've been taking marine collagen peptides in an attempt to help my joint out, but I struggle to remain consistent.

    Last spring/summer, I was a hermit and shied away from social engagements because I was embarrassed of my appearance.

    ME TOO! I got to the point where I would get irritated if my husband took pictures of me with the kids. He regularly will text pictures to the grand parents and I caught myself saying "make sure I'm not in the picture" constantly. To the point where my kids knew I didn't want to be in the picture. At 6 and 4 they shouldn't hear me saying that!

    And I've been "on the wagon" for the last 2 weeks and at least the next 8 weeks. I thought it would kind of suck to not have Friday happy hours with friends, or a drink during play off foot ball but....it's been surprisingly easy!

    And just think...we'll be super cheap dates if/when alcohol is introduced back in :)

    Another goal I forgot to add is to slow down when I eat and take the time to actually "taste" my food. I forget how much of an impact this actually makes on enjoying my meals.

    Great title!

    I'll take my Jan 31st weight of 188.8 as my starting weight (even though that was partially due to dehydration and I was a couple of pounds up by the morning of Feb 1st!)

    Goal weight by March 1st: 176.3. That's 12.5 pounds, so 3.125 pounds per week. I need to get rid of around 1500kcal everyday to achieve that not considering other factors.

    I'll reduce caffeine intake
    Take meds and vitamins.
    Stay keto
    Sleep around midnight
    Focus on work
    Get back on the bike desk!
    Physical therapy exercises, work them in
    Less TV

    Good luck everyone!

    January was a great month for me! I want to stick with that:
    * STAY in my goal range for maintenance!! (Tentatively I'll keep logging every day or almost every day but if the weight stays put without that, that's OK by me, too! :))
    * Keep up with strength training 3x/wk plus running.
    * Gradually increase my veggies/fruits.
    * I really need to work on sleep!! In bed by 10:30 this week, 10:00 next week.

    2/1 check in: weight and carbs good. Did my strength training. Took my collagen. Cleaned the bathtub.

    @missippibelle thanks for the app recommendation. I too hate to see notifications pop up so it could be good motivation!

    @Ringbearer2 I am currently using the Great Lakes beef collagen in the green tub. It's the only brand I've tried but it reviews well. Dissolves best in hot water and doesn't seem to effect the taste of things much. I mix it with tea usually.

    Scale cooperated this morning! Should have won the DietBet but holding my breath til I get the verification email.
    Now at 131.2. Goal maintenance range is 130-133 so this is a great place to be. Just need to get maintenance figured out better than I did last year! (It wasn't terrible but I kept bouncing from 134-139. Extra lbs all in the belly so i had clothes that didn't get worn. Belly is definitely a bit flatter again (for me ;) I look 3 months pregnant instead of 5 if I don't dress carefully to conceal it ;))!

    Yesterday was Hero 90 Week 4, Day 2 and since it was warmer, an hour walk listening to podcasts. Including this one:

    Her version of what I always say: Consistency + Perseverance + Time= Success

    Scale is still stupid. Le sigh...

    The scale IS stupid!!! But, I had BPC again today and no dark choc chips last night.

    Elliptical and treadmill last night, 30 min each. Calling Feb 1st a success :)
