My goals for the challenge are:

(2) Experiment with different macro breakdowns to see what works best.
(3) Stick to my tri training schedule. (I will be doing a sprint and an olympic distance during June.)
(4) Participate more fully here.0 -

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:

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!

You got this! you can do this. Focus on why you are doing this, and what your end goal is. If you have a bad day then make the rest of the week good. We all have ups and downs, so you are not alone. drink water go for a walk, that helps clear the head.

lemurcat, you've might have had just "enough." You do have a whole lot going on. Enjoying your workouts and relaxing while doing them is a big key. Can you mix in some "just for enjoyment" things? I know time is limited though. I hope you can find some calm happiness in things you're doing, where ever or what ever they are.0

I've been doing well with logging and staying under my calories. I want to get some days logged. I've never gotten past 21 days in a row. This might be part of the pieces that I've been missing in the past. I missed the gym yesterday due to a medication issue. I hope tomorrow is a good day at the gym, and I'm going to try to get there a little earlier.0

Thanks! I'm actually feeling much more back to normal this week, and enjoying myself again. Sometimes I think you do just have to give yourself a break.0 -
Well, actually filled in my stats finally, yay. I think for miles I'm counting only running miles outdoors. I haven't been keeping track of all indoor biking/running miles and don't keep track of walking miles so couldn't add them in, and outdoor biking miles should start to pile up soon. Anyway, on the whole it's the minutes I think I'm focusing on.
How are the rest of you doing this?0 -
I have a fitbit and I am using miles on my weekly report as I do not run. It tracks all steps, those doing kick, zumba and other activities.0
