    January Goal - Lose 5 lbs

    I plan on achieving this by running 70 miles with the dogs, min 5 days a week.
    As well I will be competing my own personal challenge for the month of squats, push ups, lunges and crunches.
    Finally I will continue to log EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth, good or bad.

    Good Luck All!! :drinker:

    My goal this month is to lose 8lbs.

    I'm going to do this by reaching 10,000 steps daily.
    Doing c25k, and hopefully
    incorporating strength training somewhere in the middle of the month.

    I stuck to this as closely as possible. I did eat out twice, but it was subway and never went over ranges. I did change up my workout routine and up my calories to see if that would work, and things have seemed to pick back up!!
