Jessie544

My January 2012 goals were: lose 10lbs, log all food/exercise on MFP, and stick to cardio classes I registered for at the gym.... and overall January was a success!! I lost 8.5lbs (not quite to my goal, but my husband and I both had bdays this month and we we went out for dinner/drinks), I have logged for 35 days straight now, and as far as sticking to the classes...

Hey Ladies! Happy February! I'm so happy too announce that I just got a family membership to the YMCA, so I will be able to hit the gym as often as I like now! I am also teaming up with my mother-in-law and joining TOPS [Taking Off Pounds Sensibly] with her, shes been a member for 4 years now and she invited me along with her to a meeting and I loved it! Sounds like a blast! In January I lost 12lbs and 4inches from my hips and 2 from my waist. I'm really working hard and still eating all my calories. I'm really looking forward to see what this month brings and proud of myself that I've stuck with it this long, longest I ever have! 2012 will be my year!

greenhumanclay

Hey Ladies,

Im back!! So these were my goal for January!

GreenHumanClay (Cynthia) Train for my 1/2 marathon (March17th), continue weight training 3xs/week if possible fit in some stairs (hill) or other random workouts (hiking, mt. biking), keep hydrating properly, eat more protein, sleep more, give myself a full R&R day! Be more positive in my daily life/work life! Lose 2 pounds or lose some inches overall!

I've been training for my half I'd say very well haven't missed a day and have followed the sequence pretty exact! i only did one day of actual hiking this past month, but have managed to get in 1-2 yoga sessions @ home! I've improved with my water intake but could still improve some more, I do eat more protein, sleep is Ehh not great as usual NEED to work on that, I have taken full R&R days about 2 a week i managed to lose 3 pounds YAY but need to work on being more positive! So all in all I'd say i hit about 85%-90% of my goals!! Not too bad!

meagalayne

Heya ladies and gents! it's Feb 2nd and I still haven't posted goals... This week has been nuts! Here's my quick progress update and goals for February. Hope that tonight I can get to responding to some of you lovelies and your great new goals for this month. You're all a freaking inspiration! :bigsmile:

My January goals were....
Meagalayne- Complete 5 weeks of training for the ATB 30K race, running at least 3x week with long runs on Saturday up to 11 miles, lift weights 2x a week + spin with CrazyCarl on Mondays, stop binging on holidays treats to cope with stress at work, and finish the novel I started in NOLA.

Progress on these: I did complete all 5 weeks of training, ran at 3x per week every week up to 12+ miles (!!), lifted weights 2x per week and made it to spin for 4 of the 5 weeks, due to some scheduling issues and emergencies, so that was a win. I didn't binge hardly at all and have done a very good job coping with stress, despite how horrible the 3rd week in January turned out to be. AND I finished my novel with plenty of time to spare! :bigsmile: So all in all a great month. February is looking VERY busy and I am leaving in 7 days on another little trip, so my goals are going to be very reasonable.

~Meagalayne- Complete 4 more weeks of ATB training (modified for my travel schedule) including a long run up to 14miles; weight train 2x per week + spin with CrazyCarl on Mondays; Try hot yoga; No weigh-ins after Feb 3rd until post ATB; allow myself to indulge while in Austin, but not to completely derail my progress with food and emotional eating; Start/Finish another novel on vacation.

I think this is a good balance of goals - Trips are always an easy way to derail the progress you've made so I am hoping that I can keep my eating under control. Just need to remember that treats are always good - in moderation! I am sure I'll be walking, running, biking, etc a lot, so as long as I can keep my portions reasonable, I should be ok!

Have a great Thursday, pals! It's nearly the weekend :drinker:

lalonmeg000

Yay! It's my anniversarymonth My goals for january were: to drink more water, do Insanity 6 days a week, pack my lunches, and clean out my car once a week. I did AWESOME! I only missed 3 days of insanity the entire month, and had 2 cheat days of food, but I didn't not workout, and cheat on food on the same days if that makes sense. I have been drink more water, no soda, but still having my morning cup of joe and my car is clean! Which makes me a less stressed being lol

for February: Finish up Insanity, only 4.5 more weeks! Continue eating healthy by grocery shopping 1x/week so I can get fresh fruits and veggies. Do 1 thing this month that is fun, for me just because I am worth it (ie, a new shirt, a pedi, massage etc)

lilieslosinit

Wow! There are so many wonderful ladies with great goals

I have a personal drama rant...work/school is getting so stressful and as the semester is getting started I'm realizing I have A LOT on my plate this spring. I'm going to have to be really careful to make sure that working out doesn't get pushed out my schedule. So work/school is mentally draining. THEN, my boyfriend and I had a VEEEEERY dramatic break-up about 3 weeks ago and I'm still dealing with the emotional side of that. Between work/school, dealing with emotional crap from the relationship, and working out, I basically feel mentally, emotionally, and physically drained everyday.

The good news is that every time I work, I feel so much better about everything else (even though I have to force myself when I'm starting) and I know it helps me sleep better. I just HAVE to make sure to keep reminding myself how much better I always feel afterward. Being lazy and watching netflix sounds soooo much better a lot of times!

Anyway, I hope everyone else's month is getting off to a good start. My eating hasn't been the best, but I have logged everything so far

meagalayne

OK Ladies, I've been shirking my responsibilities here :laugh: But it's the 3rd of the month and I'm determined to be an active friend and support. Besides - where the heck are all the regular posts here?!?! Post your goals - CHECK! But now we all have to keep each other accountable and motivated

Let's seee.....

losingit- emotional personal rants welcome! that's what this place is for :flowerforyou: very sorry to hear you've been struggling with the personal side of this journey but it sounds like you're bouncing back and you managed to cope pretty well, given the circumstances. honestly, emotional eating and moping about is a part of life and we all do it sometimes. recognizing that working out and getting your adrenaline pumping makes you feel better is a great first step - forcing yourself out to get it done is whole 'nother ball game so congrats! Keep pushing yourself! You will be feeling better in no time :happy:

Stylistntenn - Welcome! :flowerforyou: Happy to have you hear - improving your overall health is the BEST goal to set! I hope we all have that same goal, over all :bigsmile: Great and very reasonable goals for the month too!

btor - Welcome to you too! Great goals - What sort of workouts do you do? Do you switch it up or tend to keep to the same sort of thing all the time? Strength vs cardio? Diet soda seems to be a common goal on this thread... What are your reasons for giving it up? I've very curious about this one (as a non-soda drinker but a coffee fiend) -- The whole "clean eating" fad is VERY popular on MFP, and while I eat clean about 90% of the time, I am very interested about peoples' motivations to strive for totally "clean" living :bigsmile: Welcome!

KCrandi - Just work hard and the weight loss will come! I truly believe that setting weight-loss goals can be a major detriment to long-term success, because we really can only control our behaviours and attitudes and not how our bodies respond to them. Setting goals that are based on sustained, long term behavior modification (like drinking lots of water, working out, making time to do things that keep you happy, etc) is the road to success in my books. Love your attitude! Those size 10 jeans will still be there next month

Meg - Great goals girl and welcome back! Keeping yourself happy and taking time for you is a major WIN. Love that goal :drinker: I try to do the same! What anniversary are you celebrating, darling? Sounds like you kicked some major *kitten* last month -- I'm so proud of you, girl! Lots of victories in January. Let's keep it up this month!

jublum - Great goals and welcome :flowerforyou: Hope you stick around for some more kicking' *kitten*!

Cynth - You ROCKED January lady - Give yourself some credit! Sleep is ehhhhh for me to, so I can relate. Just have to keep at it and try to get to bed as early as you can. Set yourself targets each day on when you want to get to sleep and know that some things will just have to wait for tomorrow. It's a tough slog, because we all want to fit in as much as possible, but it's necessary. I'll be doing the same.

Shanny!! Weclome back and great goals! As you know, eating more is ALWAYS a great goal in my books! :laugh: 10,000 calories in one month? I can't fathom how much that is but it sounds like a damn lot! That's just over 350 cals per day... What a goal! I know you can do it, though :bigsmile: This month is going to be fabulous. Hope you kick it with us for a while, again

Cassie - Yay! I love the Y! I am a member there and really adore their programming - particularly their CycleFit classes. Have you tried their YogaFit? It's a great alternative workout, too :bigsmile: You made some incredible progress in January - 12lbs is HUGE - and the inches lost? Phenomenal! Keep it up - slow and steady weight loss with small changes over a long period of time is the best bet for sustained health and well-being. It sounds like you have a great role model in your mother if she's been at it for 4 years now :bigsmile:

OK I better get going... To the rest of y'all - AWESOME work!

Jessie, El, Emily (moocha), Megan, Abby, StacyAnn, Amy, and Allie - WELCOME BACK LADIES! :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: So much love and very happy to have you all here to kick it with me!

To the rest of the newbs, please make yourself at home and post your progress whenever you feel like it. Posting small victories, challenges, or whatever else helps to keep us all feeling human and reminds us that we're all in this together, we can relate to each others struggles, and things really just don't seem as hard when we know we're not goin' it alone!

Have a great Friday everyone

meagalayne

OH! Speaking of which... Personal update from me:

I've been keeping pace with my training, got up at 5am yesterday and Wednesday to workout and had some really good burns. ran 4.23miles before work yesterday and it felt great. I weighed in for the last time before my big race in March this morning at 123.5lbs and I am pretty happy with that. I think it's a pretty solid weight for me right now, given my stress level, exercise/training, and how I am eating.

I feel good, albeit very tired. Sleeps been tough for me lately and I am stressing about my job and personal life a lot. Tonight Tyler (my partner) is out of town visiting friends and family, so I am going to give Hot Yoga a try on my own. I hope it will help me to relax and that I can enjoy a nice night of reading in bed to just decompress. I've got 6-8 miles on tap for tomorrow morning and the weather is looking very promising. Other than trying some good recipes this weekend, and doing some major catch-up with friends I haven't got much on my agenda, but the schedule always fills up. Just hoping to get through my Friday alive! :bigsmile:

Have a good one!

Some fabulous goals already pals! Love the creativity :bigsmile: I've got a hellish day today and loads to do before hitting the road to work, so I will update with my own progress and goals later tonight...

Been up since 5am and already hit the gym for some cross training and a little lifting. Not a bad workout in 50 minutes flat. When that's all the time I've got, that's just how it's gotta be!

Adam - HOW do you have time for all that exercising? Geez! Talk about lofty/crazy goals. Make sure you're taking time to recover. Overtraining --> injury faster than you know

Welcome to all the other newbs :flowerforyou: Where are my VETS at?!?! Post your goals, ladies! We need ya back!

Allie - Happy to have your return on the thread, lady :bigsmile: Great goals and I know you'll smash your 1/2!
Skreal - GREAT goals! Eating all your target calories and not living a life of deprivation is SO the way to go! I've lost about 75lbs and have kept it off with that attitude. Starving yourself is both unnecessary and totally cruel. If you burn 'em, you've earned em, and your body needs the calories to fuel your awesome workouts!

Eek - Better run. Have a great Feb 1st Pals!

Well at the moment i'm still a college student so I get up super early like 5am and get a bike in with breakfast or a run after then school and a swim/bike/run after classes.. depending on what day it is. On the weekend i'll do a brick workout (run right after the bike) and then sunday is a rest day normally or just a swim. Been doing it for a bit now, really loving it. Trying to always eat it's so hard to cram in calories sometimes. Certain days the swim is just a relaxed freestyle so it kind of turns into a cool down or rest. Training for an Ironman, it's like no life lol but totally worth it

~Shannonaufman - Eat 1200 net calories; Drink 64 ounces of water on weekdays, 32 on weekends; exercise for 1000 minutes; burn 10000 calories; walk/run 30 miles this month. I wouldn't be devastated if I saw 161 on the scale at the end of the month.
GreenHumanClay (Cynthia) Continue to train for my 1/2, increase h20, 1-2 days of R&R, eat less than 10% of boxed food items, lose 2 pounds, weight train 3xs/week, sleep more, focus and stay on top of my current school program and enjoy this month more than last!!

Meag- Thanks girl! And the anniversary I am celebrating is my 1 year with MFP! Woo Hoo : ) Any races planned in the near future for you? Also, hope the job situation has gotten better with you too, a difficult job makes everything so much worse!

AFM: So excited to start my month 2 of Insanity! I went ahead and broke down and purchased a month of shakeology, beachbodies protein shake stuff. Its a little expensive, but through my thorough research, it seems like it is one of the healthies on the market. This week I have been way off, fighting a stomach bug has left me eating more carbs than I would normally eat, and my neck has been hurting again. Not as sever as August when the wreck happend, but close. Hoping to start over clean on monday and get back to the old grind Probs wont post till monday, I have a lot of homework to do this weekend including making a wearable dress out of white paper...and only white paper hahah


everyone have a great weekend!
