My first 2000m row on the 10th was done in 9 minutes 56 seconds. I would love to drop a minute off that by the end of the month. Also I will upping my daily step goal to 15,000 steps a day.
As far as my eating habits go, I'm one of those crazy Ketoers, it works for me and I feel much better than I have in years plus it's done wonders for my lipid panels.
I would like to drop about 5-7 lbs this month or maybe just a couple inches off my total body size would be good as well.
Hey.....we should ROW together. I have an erg hanging out in my basement gym. The display crapped out on me, but I usually get a good rythm going and can figure out how many stores per minute, etc....then I can calculate that into miles.
Thanks for the ROW idea....I'm gonna alternate my rowing and my treadmill running.
I think I'll row today!!!

That was supposed to be STROKES per minute
Bah.....and not the ones where you have brain trauma either and land in the hospital. Not that kinda stroke. Lol 0 -
I'm keeping my challenge goal simple, because I already have a lot of fitness goals I'm working towards.
For the challenge, I'm doing a 30-day plank challenge. Planks appeal to me because they're effective but not time-consuming, they don't require equipment, and also, I'm terrible at them.
(My other goals I'll be keeping up with: 10K+ steps/day, logging all my food, and staying on track with 1 lb/week weight loss to reach my DietBet and HealthyWage targets.)
Oooh.....I like the PLANK thing too. I might add that as well.
You guys all got great plans! 0 -
Thank you John for taking the time to put this together!
I just came off of a 12-week personal challenge, so coming up with a plan for this was rather difficult, because really I just want to buy a pint of ice-cream and eat it all in one sitting.
So my challenge is to actually MAINTAIN a healthy eating life-style for 30 days. I’ll be cutting out all processed foods (anything with more than 5 ingredients on the label) with the only exception of Ezkeial bread. Also (I think it’s a given but will mention it anyway) no alcohol as well.
I want to establish and reinforce good habits. Obviously in doing that I need forgiveness built in, so IF NEEDED, I’m added 4 cheat experiences. I can’t say meal or day, because I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m going to hold myself accountable to make sure that it’s not because of a craving, it will be my excuse if no healthy options are available to me.
I hope to gain better muscle tone, drop a couple of pounds, and increase muscle mass!
Good luck to all of you and I’ll be looking forward to reading all of your updates to stay motivated and gain inspiration!

I really wanted to do this challenge - but I am having some trouble formulating my game plan since I have a very atypical month ahead. Ultimately, I think my goal needs to be making the best choices given the situation with which I am presented.
The trouble:
--I'll be out of the country for most of week 2 - no internet connection and although I *should* have gym access, constant dining out and those delicious little umbrella drinks will be difficult.
-I will also be out of town for a few days here and there in weeks 1 and 3 - all of which makes setting and following a plan difficult.
The plan:
--continue logging and focus on my macros when I am home and really challenge myself to make good food choices when I am traveling (weeks 2 & 3 will be rough). I'm going to be completely honest and tell you that I am going to be drinking and celebrating a lot during weeks 2 & 3 and I have ZERO intentions of tempering that (it is rare for me to really cut loose) but I KNOW I can make good choices for my meals.
--Workouts 5 days a week (weeks 2 & 3 will be a challenge -- but hoping to go for a few runs on the beach, swim and catch some early a.m. yoga to balance out the party vibe in week 2. At a loss for week 3 - will just have to see how it goes.)
--I'd like to lose about 3-5 pounds, but I'm going to be realistic and say my goal is just to maintain!0 -

I LOVE the goal of maintenance! Most would throw in the towel and go hog-wild! Enjoy your celebrations and make smart choices! ☀️0 -
My goal for this challenge is to hit my 10,000 per day( Increase steps once I'm comfortable to 15, 000)
30 day squat workout( also I would appreciate any suggestions on any home workouts for beginners)
Nutrition: this is my struggle: I am a stress eater also tend to binge eat over the weekend. I also get really hard on myself if I have a bad day/ weekend and it leads to several bad days.
I would like to lose 1.5lbs per week during this challenge.0 -

For the week of 4/11:
1) meet my garmin's step goal for the whole week.
2) start p90x and do it for 5/7 days. - part of this is I'm moving, and already packed some stuff that I would had needed for body beast.
3) track and guesstimate as close as possible everything that I eat. I'm going to attempt to follow the meal plan for p90x but I also packed a good part of my kitchen tools.
4) get my butt out of bed early to work out before getting ready for work at least 2/7 days
I remember the original P90X diet. Very time consuming and complicated. If it works for you that's great: keep at it! I didn't last long on it: I always felt like I had a bunch of shopping and food prep to do. Really it's just an overly complicated way of sticking to macros, IIRC. Good luck with your goals!
