While I know I focus on the scale WAY too much, I have been making efforts to set fitness goals each month and to track everything. Here are my results so far.

I'm very proud of this effort and the fact that this is the longest I've stuck with something like this.

Woohoo Congrats to you. You are an inspiration. I like the idea of fitness goals. How do you track calories burned monthly and miles walked?

I am starting Shred over today and want to add walking extra too now weather is better.

I print a paper calendar each month and write my goals on the top. Then each day I fill it out. I use a HRM to track my calories, and I use the MapMyWalk app on my phone to track the distance of each walk. I try to add the distance in my exercise notes and write it on my calendar as well. Then I just add up the totals each month.

Wow I love your dedication, you are really an inspiration. Such great ideas. I have an app on my phone that can track how much I walk too, never thought of tracking it like that tho, I always just track calories burned
