    I'm in, I have been off mostly due to stress and have gained 12 pounds:( I would like to focus on logging daily and exercising 3x times a week.

    * Logging and running at least 5 days/week.

    I will need to create a better running schedule, but this works with all the awkward snow and ice hanging around.

    I started my fitness challenge a day early (1/31), so have two days under my belt. Set up this schedule:

    Week One and Two: Bodyweight only 50 squats/day minimum; 50 push-ups on knees/day minimum

    Have done: Tues 100 squats, (30 w/ 20 lb dumbbell); 50 knee push-ups; Wed 110 bodyweight squats (plus 30 each side split squats) and 50 knee push-ups; plus have done extra exercises with those two each day.

    After the first two weeks, which are to establish baseline, I'm increasing intensity by a bit each week either by adding weights or by doing push-ups on the toes (and culminates in decline push-ups and clapping push-ups at the end of 13 weeks). I was inspired by a video that went viral that showed a gal who did push-ups every day for 100 days.

    2/2: carbs in range despite a little gelato. Weight in range. Rest day as I was traveling 4 hours to and from an appointment for my husband. Collagen taken. As for the household chore just taking out the trash.

    So far so good. I am adding in another aim, no milk or cream in my tea and coffee. Hoping this will help get some weight off and keep my blood glucose levels down (diabetic)

    I had a decent second day. Although I didn't weigh my almonds. Smh. I know better, right?

    Working out is going well, as is being consistent with calories.

    I had a super stressful day yesterday. Very scary. So this morning I feel hungover from the emotional strain. I even dug out an old battery so I could weigh myself (SMH) but nope, didn't work!
    My goal for this day is to walk half an hour, do a nice 12 minute hiit workout and WEIGH EVERY THING.

    Other than the almond deal, and the attempt at weighing, I haven't F'ed Up. Does the almond thing mean I *kitten* up? Yeah probably. :(

    Guys, I was so close to eating carbs yesterday. It was such a hard day. I can't go into specifics, but my God, I was scared shirtless all day long. I'm going to consider it a win.

    I watched Fed Up again. I'm having the library hold The Case Against Sugar for me.

    Okay. Today is a new day.

    -weigh all food
    -be nice to myself
    -do NOT get a new battery
    -exercise for stress, not weight loss

    Ending the week on a positive note. I'm in the chicken zone and it seems to be working.
    Had a lemon pepper chicken breast this morning with a splash of Franks, sauteed mushrooms and onions. I usually don't eat bfast, but I had an early dinner last night (Buffalo Chicken Breast) and I wanted to avoid all the carb treats here at work. Chicken Alfredo tonight for dinner. Steaks planned for Saturday. Now - Need to plan for Sunday Superbowl. Bunless burgers and dogs maybe?..Go Pats! :)

    I am in! This is a great idea, and my main goal is to lose 12 pounds this month, I lost 12 pounds in January and want to keep going. I will be also adding in mini-goals:

    * exercising at least 4 days each week
    * weighing all food when at home
    * eating one salad everyday
    * stay on track during the weekends (most important)

    Have a great day everyone!

    Sorry you had such a rough day. :cry:
    I was le exhausted all day and depressed, but I powered through that crap anyway.

    Yep. The best thing about Feb. F-Ups are that you can fix them with your next good choice.

    F the scale. It's lazy and behind anyway.

    I think you might benefit from listening to this:

    I messed up many times during weight loss and maintenance. The key is to have more non-messed up days than messed up days. Accept the things we cannot change. Change the things we can. Know the difference. It gets better. <3

    Thank you all so much. I honestly couldn't do this without your support and encouragement.

    While doing the dishes this morning, every fifth washed and rinsed item I stopped a and did curls, squats, lunges and swings. I'm going to incorporate these types of quick workouts throughout the day. It makes it fun!

    Thanks again, myfitnesspals. <3

    Yay, it's Friday! This week has been good so far. Logging every day. Down 2 lbs for the week, so locking in last months' loss.

    I finished reading The Obesity Code. Now going to go back through and take notes on what I learned. I'm flying to Europe for work next week, so that would be a good chance to try out a fasting day, if I was so inclined. I always eat too much on those flights, or feel like I NEED to eat, even if I don't feel hungry...

    Have a good weekend!

    I'm on track, logging everything & keeping tight. Have been pushing to mix in exercise across the day. Going out tonight so just ate some chicken & cheese so as not to arrive famished. Will have 1 glass of wine. Happy Friday!

    Continue tracking thru the whole month of Feb and get 10k steps atleast 6 days a week. More water...and learning more about staying in Keto. I'd love to lose 6 lbs in Feb (more really- but will keep it real and obtainable) .

    2/3: weight is in range. Carbs were good. Collagen taken. Rest day aside from a short walk to the post office. Cold day but the fresh air was nice. Kind of slacked on the household chore...just did a few dishes.
