Kicking *kitten* In Our Twenties - March Challenge!! Take 2!

meagalayne

Hey fabulous 20 somethings :drinker: - It's that time again! New month, fresh start, and what better reason to set some killer goals to aim for in the next 31 days. You may not believe it, but this challenge has been ON-GOING since Oct 2010! :noway: I don't know about you, but that makes me feel old! :huh:

This will be a quick intro for those looking for a new challenge and wanting to stick it out for at least a month. For those who are vets to our monthly challenges, you know how its done. Scroll down to the bottom, check out your Dec goals, and start kickin' some *kitten* !

For the newbs - Welcome! Here's the 'skinny' on our healthy living and lifestyle challenge...

As with the challenges that have come before, this is a place where MFPals in their 20s can search out support, motivation, and advice while they are working towards their own personal goals. You're encouraged to set your own targets based on what is important to you and what challenges you face that you hope to overcome - set out goals for the month, make them attainable, and then just keep coming back to update us on your progress, help motivate others, and kick some serious *kitten*!! This group is home to Pals at all stages in their journey and there is plenty of advice, friendship and *love* to go around - If you have any questions or just need help getting moving, or you're a total veteran at this whole healthy living thing, you're welcome here! Just post whatever you like, show some support when you can, and enjoy the group

Here's what we ask:

1) As our veteran members (and newbs alike) sign onto the challenge once again, a list like the one found at the bottom of this post will start forming. This is our “goals list”. If you want to join the challenge, we ask that you copy and paste the most up-to-date list and tag your own screen name and goals onto the bottom – this is so that we can keep things moving along and no one gets left behind! (If you notice that someone's been left off, due to a high volume of posting, please incorporate their goals back into the list whenever possible.)
2) Set attainable and realistic goals! This group is dedicated to supporting healthy living, first and foremost, and that includes physical, emotional and mental health. So set goals that you know you can reach, with hard work and persistence, and find ways to celebrate small victories whenever you can. This will help you stay motivated and on track! We recommend setting some non-scale goals along with a scale goal if you are trying to lose weight – seeing progress in your fitness, your measurements and your diet is a great way to celebrate small changes in your life that make a HUGE difference. Be flexible, know that things aren't going to go perfectly as planned every day, and allow some wiggle room for a bad day here and there. We all have them!
3) Once your goals are posted, stay active and enjoy the benefits of this awesome community. Oh, and invite your 20-something friends! Let's keep this group moving, ladies!

As for February - Here's our most recent goal list. How did your progress stack up? For the newbs, here's a gander at the types of goals we set out to acheive. It may serve as a little inspiration for you to kick start your journey here :happy:

Look at your life as a whole - fitness, nutrition and mental health - and set goals to improve every part of your day. This challenge is yours and no goals are silly, too small, or out of place here. Just go with what works for you and what will help to push you towards a healthier, happier life!

So what have you lovelies got lined up for March? Let's get the goals a rollin' ! Bring it on, ladies! Let's kill it this month and kick some serious *kitten* !

Good morning!!

My goal for February was to rack up the running miles and I think I've done an alright job. I've been running 5 times a week for the most part, with my long runs at about 10.5 miles, and my total mileage for February 104 miles.

This week's long run will be about 12 miles.

Good morning everyone


Okay so for February, it was a spotty month for me. I was sick a lot from stress and I worked out when I could, and ate as best as I could.

Goals for March- tell my job I quit! (scary but exciting). Start insanity back, keep up with the water intake, start using my planner again. Buy new clothes for Cali because I deserve it and I will have lost ssooo much weight

Follow up from my February goals: My goals for February are to be under 225 by month's end, to workout at least 5 times a week, and to start bringing my dinner with me Tuesday-Thursday when I have class in the evening (10 out of 13 potential times if possible).

I was 226, so I didn't quite make the scale goal, but my clothes feel a lot looser (even the ones that were a "perfect fit" when I was 20 pounds lighter [I figure the weight redistributed, but I"m not going to complain. ]), and I lost a half an inch on my neck, 2.5 inches on my waist, and 3.5 on my hips. I averaged working out 5.75 days a week (3 weeks 6 days, one week 5 days), so I met that goal and exceeded it. I brought 8 times this month, was sick and didn't have dinner another night, and ate out 4 other times, so I just barely didn't make it.

March goals: I plan to again bring my dinners with me and am taking it one step further by limiting all eating out meals (any time of the day) to 5 meals maximum. I also have a goal to workout 6 days a week. I also want to shed 2 inches off both my hips and waist
