Just for fun: It's only my second month so I'm hoping to nail down a weekly routine. I also have a 5K at the end of the month.

my first 5K
was so wonderful, I was dead last but it was
a super goal of mine

Just for fun: What new fitness exercise or event are you going to do this month?
I'm going to start back with my C25k training. There is a fundraiser race at the school of nursing that I graduated from that I'd like to participate in on 4/6, and then the school's alumni race is 4/20. I'd also going to try and start doing more weights and strength based activities. I am ok with cardio but want to be building muscle too and I like the good burn I feel in the days after a good session.

Still can't edit. Let's change my current weight to 283. I weighed this morning and was 282 and high change- I managed to diuresis and get rid of some of my water weight (my feet and legs swell horribly and that easily adds 5lbs to my scale).

Started C210k training. Also signed up for a bootcamp and weights class.

PERFECT!
Got asked out by a guy I thought would NEVER come around... that = PLENTY of motivation for me to GET THIS DONE!

(no joke: I put down the chips & went apple shopping shortly after)

SAD... but TRUE!
hopefully making the changed to my diet (that I SHOULD have done AGES ago will pay off)

Just for fun: In addition of my Synergie training and my 2 BodyPump/CXWorks/PowerCardio classes, I want to add some cardio training. Because my niece (7 years old) will do a 3K run on June, I want to be able to follow her this time without slowing her.

My fitness goal this month is to walk or cycle 100km by the 31st of march. So far I have done 15 so I have to pick up the pace.

Best of luck everyone! Stick with it!

Just for fun: What new fitness exercise or event are you going to do this month? I started jogging last week and I want to try to jog 3x per week, play tennis 2x, and do Power Barre 2x per week. I also like to do abs and arms at home in between.

:happy:

This Month I'm focusing on Weight Training and incorporating cardio.. but not much cardio; just enough to get my heart rate up; trying to figure out the whole "fat burn zone vs. carb burning zone".... Bought a HRM and it i'm seeing changes; so I'm thinking it pays off to know what level of fitness you're working out at.

Forgot to post this; better now than never I've been on a plateau for the last few weeks. Incorporated strength training x3 per week, and it's made me extra hungry. It's been hard for me to keep within my daily calories. I'm trying to drink more water, and stay away from vending machines.

So not a great start to the month. :grumble: But I am happy to report that I am on Day 7 of being smoke free and in fact lost 1/2 a pound. :happy: At least that shows I am not substituting cigs for food (or at least not bad food). I think this will be a slow month for weight loss but it will keep coming off. I won't give up til I find my better body!!!!! I can hope next week will be better (but TOM is supposed to arrive) so maybe not but the 21st will be my great day :laugh:

Now I am going to go drink some water!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
Happy March Everyone!!

I'm in! This is going to be my first month of MFP so I am excited to try this challenge.

My weigh ins are mondays, I will post then!

hello all,

I am new to this and hoping to find a way to stick to an exercise routine.
I have moved to a new city to be with my husband and had gained 10 pounds since moving.
There is not much going on and I am sitting and watching T.V on most days.
I use to be very active and working before I moved away.
Please advice?

Thanks and good luck to all:)
