MEAT Me at the Beach (6/16-19 weigh-in)

KnottyJen

Some goals for myself:
Continue making GOOD choices!
Drink at LEAST 8 glasses of water/day.
Move on to the 2nd (and 3rd) levels of my workout DVDs.
When it gets warmer out, hit the pool at least twice/week.
Fit into the dress that I bought two years ago, but still has the tags on it because it never quite fit.


Thanks so much for organizing this challenge! It will be great to help stay motivated!

Great job with the chart!

My goals for the challenge would be to get into the ONEderland!!! I'm definately going to push myself to go to the gym more. I just haven't been having the motivation to go. I'm going to push myself to go to the gym at least 5 days a week, giving myself two rest days. I'm also gonna start the C25K this week - just to get myself to be able to run and see if I can do it.

thans Vic you are fab!!! To those of you who are joining the first time I can guarantee you will lose your weight on here I have never in my life stuck to a diet regime but the support you get on MFP and especially with Vic is amazing and has helped me get to 1lb away from my goal I never thought Id get here when I hit a plateau I thought that was me stuck there forever but no I stuck at it and I got there

I am going to take my measurements today and compare to when I started at the beginning of February with MFP just a few weeks before the last challenge started. Im hoping to see good numbers as I know I have lost the weight as I am down 2 dress sizes

Good luck to you all I know you will do great!

5 Goals I would personally like to achieve during this 12 week challenge (In no particular order)

3) Try a new recipe (healthy of course) Each week

Serinifly, that is an excellent goal and I'm going to steal it for myself!

1. Try a new recipe (healthy of course) weekly
2. Attain a weight within the healthy range for my height before the end of the challenge (<150lbs)
3. Do at least 2 days of cardio and 2 days of strength training each and every week
4. Sign up for and complete one race before the end of the challenge (5k,10k, whatever)
5. Brave my way into a bathing suit and sign up for swimming lessons (that might not happen until the very end!)

As far as what I will do to reach these goals: I have a fitness class that ends in a month; I plan to re-enroll in another 3 months worth of that class, which entails going to the gym 3 times a week and having my food log reviewed by a dietician every 2 weeks. I can also sign up for swimming lessons at my gym. As for the race... well heck, why not sign up for the race right now?

Okay, I will be doing the Chicago Firefighter's Run for the Kids 5k on July 14th. (http://www.runforthekids.com/)

For the recipes, there are plenty to choose from in the forums, or I can just steal those from Serinifly too!

1. I want to be able to run a 10K. I am going to look for one around the August time frame. I would like to be able to run it straight though under a 12 min mile
2. I want to be consistently be hitting my nutrtitional goals. I have been all over the place with my food. I blame trying to move but really if I wanted it badly enough I could clean it up. So slowly each week I am going to pick one thing to focus on until my eating looks like what I want it to. Not just about cals for me.
3. In the second 4 wk period I want to complete the 30 day making the cut workout program. I am working my way up to it now doing the Nike training app workouts three times a week.
4.I want to get back into my lucky jeans. I can get em up and zipped but it's not pretty.
5. For my. Birthday I want to treat myself to getting an accurate body fat measurement done 7/11 and also a return trip to get it re tested at the end of the challenge so I can see where I am fitness wise regardless of the scale.

In the next 4 weeks I commit to:

- Preplanning Meals instead of figuring out what I am going to eat as I go.
- In addition to intentional exercize, I am going to incorporate walks around my neighbourhood with my hubby, he goes every morning about 6:30 so I will too at least twice a week.
- As I will be rising earlier for those walks, I commit to turning my light out 30 minutes earlier every night
- In planning my meals, I will ensure that my diet is truly balanced. I know I will lose if I'm under my calories, but I need to be sure I am getting enough fruits especially
- When I have an off day, I won't say oh well, the day is alreaady blown I might as well go crazy until I go to bed.
