Name: Becca
Feb. Starting Weight: 176
Goal Weight for Feb.: 168
Goals for Feb.:
1. Exercise 6 days a week
2. No candy whatsoever (Valentine"s Day will be hard)
3. Find one hour of relax time a week (Scrapbook)

Got my exercise in but it was very rushed so we could get to basketball games. I made it through another day without candy and I've got very good intentions of getting some scrapbooking done on Saturday and if that doesn't work, then I'll have Sunday.

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

So far I'm doing good at avoiding fast food. I purposefully cooked too much food yesterday so I could put some in the freezer for dinner at school (night classes), so I won't have to go to McDonald's for my break. I haven't made my water goal, but I'm not going to take a flavor pack with me to class to force myself to drink plain water. And last night's recipe featured 2 items I've never tired, and breakfast yesterday I made from scratch blueberry, chocolate, banana waffles (GreenLiteBites.com) which uses Almond milk - I didn't even know there was such a thing - and it tasted pretty great and was only 120 calories each waffle, so I could eat more but log less calories.

Today I did log my foods, though I had a donut (darn my roommate for eating my oatmeal) I didn't have any Starbucks.

However--- Jillian Michaels kicked my butt so bad with yesterday's routine I can bearly move today so; no exercise But I'm stretching!

I have managed to get on my treadmil everyday so far this week, and I've been going for about 30min each time and I've also been getting some dancing in and Leslie Sansone 5mile walk. I tried blueberries for the first time and love them!! Actually, I finished the whole container in 3 days so now I'm on to my apples and bananas As for my protein, I'm still working on getting it up and keeping it there. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Belly Dancing was great last night. We actually managed to dance for most of the hour instead of goofing off!
My new tattoo isn't completely healed, but I'll be back at the gym after work tonight anyways. I can't let it continue to keep me away from my miles goal! I haven't run yet this month!! And I have a 5k on Sat. that I would like to improve my time by another min. on. Luckily we are running 2 5k's this month, so if I don't make it this weekend, I'll still have a chance! hahaha
I'm getting in more water today so far. And I'm not going to allow myself to skip logging my food anymore! I've been slacking big time for the last week
So over it though!!

I feel so much better after going to the gym yesterday! I got in a half hour on the bike, 5 miles, but they don't count in my miles challange.
My tattoo is healing much better now, so tonight I will be doing about 20 min worth of intervals on the treadmill and then a few miles on the eliptical.
I've been drinking about 9-10 cups of water, although I don't track them here, I guess I could.
mfkfoster: I hope you're not getting sick! Set backs suck.

Well that weekend was a semi-bust. Totally forgot to log my meals, though I remember what I had & it wasn't too bad... didn't snack unnecessarily, only had some chips & dip at superbowl & didn't even go back & forth to all the other junk & hubby made a healthy dinner (asparagus is SO much better grilled). But I did some drinkin' b/c of the fights & then Superbowl, so I'm sure that won't be helping. Very minimal exercise, but I was cleaning like a crazy person both days for about 45 min (hardcore too!).

It's a new week. Planned all my meals for the day, exercise planned for the week & my Starby's visit for the week is checked off (oh Monday- I did have the donut, but only drank 1/2 the coffee), so I'm not even considering it for the rest of the week. Actually, half-way through the latte, I didn't even want it, I wanted water, so thats a plus!
