(2) Experiment with different macro breakdowns to see what works best.

Hello everyone! My goals for this challenge are:
i) Log every day as accurately as I can
ii) Get 8 hours of sleep each night
iii) Finish the 30 day plank challenge
iv) Spend less time on my phone0 -
I guess I'll set a goal: (or two)
1) log every day (even bad days)
2) lose some weight (does there REALLY have to be a number???)
3) Exercise EVERY day, (and walking the dog for 10 minutes doesn't count, I'm talking SWEAT production here)
4) Get to the gym at LEAST 3 times per week. (because my *kitten* isn't getting any smaller without it)
5) check in to MFP community daily. (cuz of cool peeps working toward a common goal have a better chance at success than I do alone eating ice cream in my closet with the wifi turned off)
I guess it's on...0 -
Goals for this challenge:

2) run/walk 18-20 miles a week
3) get on my bike or the indoor bike a couple times a week
4) drink lots of water

Hmmm.... Not a good week.
Ate large amounts of mindless calories after work in front of TV. Junk food from fast food for comfort after heavy emotional day with college daughter( thought I was past emotional eating)
... Good thing that I was not able to eat all of it...
Good 40 mile bike ride and one mile water swim... Sooo.... Clean slate and forward to week two.0 -
weather was finally better on Sunday although we did have 2 downpours. I have been watching my grandkids while my daughter has been moving and or working, so my exercise plans have been off. I did have fun going on walks with grandkids and playing at the park with them so not too bad. Still recovering from Arm surgery and can't workout as hard as I was, next week I can add more activity. No weight lifting though for 5 more weeks.
Goals this week are to:
Get to gym 3 times
drink that water.
walk/jog and work on the Couch to 5k

I've had a week of basically being off-plan/not caring and overreacting to stress in the rest of my life, so I hope to really re-focus this week and also (as I said initially) participate more here.
Goals this week are to really be serious about calories and to focus on enjoying my workouts.0 -
My goal will simply be to recommit to healthy habits. I've been very lax in logging and getting in daily cardio exercise. Life has been extra busy and I have been putting in a good bit of work in the garden and around the house, as well as hustling to keep up with customers in our little local cafe on Fri and Sat. But, eating with abandon and consuming too many high sugar/ high fat calories has done some damage. So... Back to logging all food, drinking lots of water (aiming for 3/4 gal per day), and getting back to cycling and the elliptical every day but cafe days.
Best of luck to everyone in achieving your goals!
