Hi everyone,
I used to find these monthly challenges useful and fun so I thought I'd start one up. Even though we are already a fair way through the month we can just start from here, or perhaps you've already had a monthly challenge that you'd like to share. The general idea is that there are no rules, you set your goals for the month be they exercise or weight loss or healthy eating or all of the above and then we check in with each other once a week with how we are going. Our final check in is on the 1st of the following month when we can reflect on our outcomes and hopefully celebrate!
My goals for January:
Eat 90% wholefoods and absolutely no fast food
Swim 3x week
Loose 2kg
What are your goals this month?

-Run every day
-Restart P90x Leans program
-Loose 10lbs this month

-Try to hit 1,000 calories burned in one day (three times a week).0 -
small goals to build on:
-less soda (1 per day)
-fewer cigarettes (no more than 3 in a day)
-less booze (no more than 3 times a week)
-more meditation (at least 3 times a week)0 -
Yay! So glad you guys are joining me :-)
Everyone's goals look great, I'm a big fan of setting achievable goals.
I really like your bonus round thesoundofwol so I am totally joining you with that one.
Let's check in again next weekend with how we're going. And in the meantime anyone is welcome to join!0 -
Being I just started, my goals are simple:
Stick to diet for 10 days. (Then go from there)
Avoid sugar and use less artificial sweeteners0 -
OK, little goals for the rest of the month:
1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
2. Eat more vegetables
3. No soda and no sugar in my coffee (ouch!)0 -
So it's been a week since my initial post. I am pretty happy with how things are going.
I have been swimming 4 times this week
And completely whipped the bonus goal of 1000 cal burn 3 times a week (I made it 4 times), woo!
I have been eating largely wholefoods although I did have a little slip with some treats last night (I still remained below my cal count for the day).
I haven't however lost any weight, I'm trying not to worry too much about this as I know I am eating healthy, in line with calorie count, and exercising and so it's just a matter of time.
How are you all going?0 -
Well, looks like it is only me who is doing the weekly check-ins at the moment which is fine although I would love for others to join me.
This week has been pretty good even though I had a real blow out yesterday
I swam 4x this week
I've been eating well and
I've lost 2lbs since last time, yay!
How are you all getting on?
It's not too long until the end of the month now0 -
So it's the end of the month, I'm pretty pleased with my progress
90% wholefoods - check
Swim 3 times a week -check, and I actually made it 4 times a week most weeks
Loose 2kg, almost, at last weigh in I was down 1.7kg so I'm happy with that
How did others get on with their goals this month?
If you're interested I am starting a new thread for February so check that one out :-)0
