    12 week plan: remember to record to this thread every week and not forget...lol. Start every morning with 2 glasses of water and at least a 30 min walk. ( I always feel better when i start the day of with a bang.) Go from 2 cups of coffee to 1. Stay on track....summer is hard and I have lots of stress this summer so i need to stay on top of planning out my weeks and day. Make time for exercise eventhough its going to be difficult.

    I LOVE the idea of a game plan! I need it too!

    1. Bring (and actually wear) a dress for my Boston vacation for the 4th of July weekend
    2. Be able to run 10 minutes straight (thanks C25K)
    3. Wear just a bathing suit (no shorts to cover the thighs)
    4. Watch sodium and sugar intake and be in the "green"

    Bump!

    Run 10-15 miles/week on the treadmill so that when this challenge is done and the weather here is a *bit* cooler (let's face it: September in New Orleans is still HOT), I'll be able to run outside even better than I did in January.

    Goals for this challenge:
    1) Get my BMI out of Obese and into Overweight (so close...yet so far away!)
    2) Reach my goal of 200 miles on my elliptical by August 1st
    3) Hit Onederland...my challenge goal but I would LOVE to hit it earlier.
    4) Add 2 resistance workouts a week to my routine
    5) Wear a sleeveless shirt in public!

    Game Plan:
    1) Workout 4 days a week minimum
    2) Log food everyday (I was REALLY good at this for a long time but have gotten into a bad habit of not logging on the weekends the last month)
    3) Eat more veggies! I'm doing good on the fruit, but struggle on my veg intake.
    4) Find some healthier baking recipes to fulfill my sweet tooth without blowing a good day's eating out of the water.
    5) Better dinner planning in advance so we have healthy dinners instead of just quick dinners on the weeknights.

    Week 1 Challenge: Make a Game Plan
    Often it is easy to get lost in the idea of having 12 LONG weeks to make your goal. You might feel a little lost or overwhelmed. You may even get off track or fall off the wagon altogether. One way to avoid this is to MAKE A GAME PLAN! Think about how you are going to succeed. Desire to lose weight is great, but without a plan to do it you may struggle or fail. Take a look at your goals and see what you need to do to meet them. Our challenge is set up to have 2 mini-goals and one final goal. Outline what you want to do in 12 weeks, but really set out a plan for your first FOUR weeks of the challenge. Think about diet, exercise, and a schedule. What do you want to achieve and how are you going to do it?


    Week 1 Refection: Accomplishments & Timeline
    Weight-loss cannot always be seen with a number on the scale? Often times it is found in the fit of our clothes, the ability to do a task/activity, or in the eyes of others. What are five things that you want to accomplish during this 12 week challenge? When during the challenge do you expect these accomplishments to occur?


    Well, I am the kind of girl who needs a routine... So, I am sticking to my DVDs for the next twelve weeks. I will work out at least five times a week. I also need to do better with the kinds of foods I'm eating... so, I'm going to try cutting out prepackaged (junk) foods and have only one cheat day a week.

    Five things I want to accomplish:
    1. To spend more time being active in some way -- going outside, swimming, doing things with friends, walking, etc... more than sitting around at home. (ongoing)
    2. To go out and run, jog, walk four times a week. (ongoing)
    3. To be a solid size 6 (this probably won't happen until at least August, I think.)
    4. To have toned muscles (August)
    5. To get in a "thin frame of mind" ... I've been toning up and losing weight, but some days it's like I don't see the work I've done. I don't allow myself to feel happy about the things I've accomplished because I still have work to do. I want to start being proud and satisfied with the effort I'm putting in. (ongoing)

    Well, I guess that's it! I can't wait to really challenge myself... I need accountability!

    I wanna eat regularly, like 5 to 6 portions a day. I'm mostly so busy that I forget to eat, a very bad habit. I wanna continue on not eating snacks en work-out at least 6 times a week for 2 hours a day. Some other goals I wanna accomplish by the end of this challenge:

    1) Size 38
    2) Muscle definition
    3) A lot of new and tight clothes that show off my new body!
    4) Run for an hour straight

    Ready for this! :)

    So many great goals inorder to achieve your goals! You are all amazing! Here is a few from me:

    1) I will get out of bed earlier at least 6 days a week & if I am not going to the gym I will use my elliptical & bike at home
    2) Use the bicycle my fiance bought me to get to the gym at least once a week
    3) stay under my calorie goal at least 6 out of the 7 days as well & don't allow that 7th day to be over by more then 500
    4) Going on Vacation in Las Vegas at the end of July I plan to use the gym at the hotel at least a couple of days while there

    Hopefully all of these things help me to achieve my goal of making it to ONEDERLAND!! I want it so bad! I appreciate all the support & everything you all are doing, Thanks again New Me At 30 you really are an inspiration to us all!

    GAME PLAN:
    Continue C25K 3 x week
    Start 30DS at least on days between running, and maybe on running days too, and/or start Zumba on Wii
    Keep eating healthily, logging foods, drinking water
    Enjoy feeling better a bit more
    Go through the clothes in my wardrobe, get rid of the stuff that's already too big, find some stuff that fits and keep sorting it out though the challenge.

    GOALS
    1. Keep up the cardio: Finish C25K and run a 5k Race for Life – 24th July
    2. Start on the strength/toning: Finish 30DS (and keep similar up)
    3. Be able to do at least 3 sets of lady press-ups without wanting to die!
    4. Fit into size 14 (UK) jeans by the end of the challenge
    5. Feel great about myself for the new academic year, ready to go back to uni with a properly sorted routine and mindset

What are five things that you want to accomplish during this 12 week challenge? When during the challenge do you expect these accomplishments to occur?

    My 12 week challenge is to continue on the path I have started for myself for better fitness and healthier eating--and most of all to shed 2 pants sizes. Since my results to day have been mostly in inches and not in pounds I am setting little NSV goals to make myself not get too wrapped around the axle when the scale doesnt budge like I think it should.

    1. Finish my 30 Day Shred Cycle -- am on day 9.
    2. On weekends make sure to do exercise outdoors (biking, hiking, etc)
    3. Although I love water I need to drink more.
    4. Only allow myself ice cream once in a while (I love ice cream)
    5. Make sure dont mess up all my progress when I go on the 3 week road trip with my husband.
