    I forgot to post this on the board....I would like everyone to come each day and update on what exercise they did and what 30 more mins they did and did they do the goals they set for themself...


    Example:
    February Challenge: add 30 minutes to your workout routine
    Week 1:
    Monday 02/01/11: Did an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill at 2.5 mph.

    Keep repeating this format for each week and each day!

    If you have any updates on your goals then you can post them under the days they happen!

    *Feb. Starting weight: 161.6 lbs
    *Goal weight for Feb.: 155 lbs
    *Goals for Feb.:
    1. No Fast Food
    2. Try New, Healthier Foods
    3. Drink more water without Crystal Light flavor packets


    My New Years resolutions were to get on and stick to a diet and exercise plan and to cut fast food out of my diet. I was highly addicted to it the last year or so, and as a result I gained 40 lbs. Plus, I'm tired of being broke all the time because I spent all my money on junk food. As for the New, Healthier foods... well... I'm picky but I don't try new things. That's going to change this year. So far I've tried two new recipes that include foods I've never tried and I want to keep that up. These new foods are often half as many calories and twice as filling as my usual diet so I'm going to shoot for that to continue. Also, I was told that caffeine dehydrates you. Well, the only way I used to drink water is if it had the Crystal Light Strawberry flavor packet in it (which has 1/4 the caffeine as a soda). I want to get out of that habit and start drinking more plain water.

    I was able to do my regular workout yesterday and my husband offered to keep the kids so I could go to Zumba. I loved it as I always do and burned a ton of calories. I've had no candy so far and I'm still trying to figure out how to work in some scrapbooking.
