    i want to get going on this weight loss.
    i've had a downer last few months.
    but i kinda feel the motivation to start again.

    my main golas for may will be:

    one cheat day a week (most likely sundays which are my lazy laundry and relax days)
    weigh in every friday
    go to the gym ATLEAST 3 times a week, if not more but ATLEAST 3 times.
    workouts must be ATLEAST 45 mins of cardio.
    also, must have weight training in there.
    try to break even or be under my calorie goal.
    eat healthy food.
    drink only water !

    I need to start focusing on balance. Too often I deliberately eat super lightly and miserably all day so that I can stop by the chinese food place for dinner and be under my calorie goal. That's okay once and awhile but this month is going to be focused on balance, and making sure each meal is worth putting in my body.

    My goal for May is reach my fat loss goal of 184 lbs. I intend to do this by:

    *Reaching my macro nutrient goals
    *Eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts
    *Avoiding processed foods
    *Limiting dairy (I'm addicted to Chobani)
    *Continuing the cardio workouts
    *Incorporating more resistance training

    Looking forward to June when I will start concentrating on muscle tone and development after having reached my desired weight goal.

    I was pretty happy with April even though I have been unable to complete the cto5k due to stupid shin splints. However my goals for the month are:

    * 1 rest day from exercise per week
    * Cardio workout every other day for at least an hour (min 500 calories per workout)
    * Aim for 4 lots of Jacobs Ladder (242 steps each way; down and up equals 1 lot) - currently best I have been able to achieve is 3 lots
    *Complete a 4km walk/run on 27th May

    If I can do all of the above and continue to eat healthy, I am hoping to lose 4kgs in May (approx 8.81 pounds)

    April had some good results, but I have a bad habit of getting on the scale every day. It hasn't really moved but I am getting smaller.

    1. To not step on the scale at all. I will weigh myself June 1st.
    2. Take measurements once a week. Goal is to lose 2 inches from my waist and 2 from my hips.
    3. Get as close to my protein goal as I can every day.
