Signed up for 2 10Ks.

and will now go to the gym to work on that 10 minute mile.6 -
I'm in, I have been off mostly due to stress and have gained 12 pounds:( I would like to focus on logging daily and exercising 3x times a week.0

Day 2: 30 minutes assorted physical activity.
Yes!
2 for 2.

Yes, I am in for this!
Goals:
*Get to the gym at least 3 times a week
*No cheats, Keto daily
*celebrate my birthday by being fully keto and happy with it
*by Feb 28th I want to be down an additional 7-10 lbs which i feel is absolutely doable5 -
* Logging and running at least 5 days/week.
I will need to create a better running schedule, but this works with all the awkward snow and ice hanging around.1 -
I started my fitness challenge a day early (1/31), so have two days under my belt. Set up this schedule:
Week One and Two: Bodyweight only 50 squats/day minimum; 50 push-ups on knees/day minimum
Have done: Tues 100 squats, (30 w/ 20 lb dumbbell); 50 knee push-ups; Wed 110 bodyweight squats (plus 30 each side split squats) and 50 knee push-ups; plus have done extra exercises with those two each day.
After the first two weeks, which are to establish baseline, I'm increasing intensity by a bit each week either by adding weights or by doing push-ups on the toes (and culminates in decline push-ups and clapping push-ups at the end of 13 weeks). I was inspired by a video that went viral that showed a gal who did push-ups every day for 100 days.4 -
Walk 80 miles in February, 3.5 mph or greater.
2/1 5.0 miles, 3.55mph
2/2 4.6 miles, 3.53mph. 11.23 pounds of groceries in my back pack on the way home.7 -
2/2: carbs in range despite a little gelato. Weight in range. Rest day as I was traveling 4 hours to and from an appointment for my husband. Collagen taken. As for the household chore just taking out the trash.3

Day 2 complete!
Calories: under
Carbs: under 50
Steps: 19k---what?
Excercise: 313/300 weekly minutes
F up free so far. But the month is young

So far so good. I am adding in another aim, no milk or cream in my tea and coffee. Hoping this will help get some weight off and keep my blood glucose levels down (diabetic)2

Hero 90 Week 4 Day 3 yesterday. Plus another hilly walk.
Everything is on point. But today is Friday. And tomorrow is Saturday. The reigns need to be held tightly.

I had a decent second day. Although I didn't weigh my almonds. Smh. I know better, right?
Working out is going well, as is being consistent with calories.
I had a super stressful day yesterday. Very scary. So this morning I feel hungover from the emotional strain. I even dug out an old battery so I could weigh myself (SMH) but nope, didn't work!
My goal for this day is to walk half an hour, do a nice 12 minute hiit workout and WEIGH EVERY THING.
Other than the almond deal, and the attempt at weighing, I haven't F'ed Up. Does the almond thing mean I *kitten* up? Yeah probably.
Guys, I was so close to eating carbs yesterday. It was such a hard day. I can't go into specifics, but my God, I was scared shirtless all day long. I'm going to consider it a win.
I watched Fed Up again. I'm having the library hold The Case Against Sugar for me.
Okay. Today is a new day.
-weigh all food
-be nice to myself
-do NOT get a new battery
-exercise for stress, not weight loss2 -
Ending the week on a positive note. I'm in the chicken zone and it seems to be working.
Had a lemon pepper chicken breast this morning with a splash of Franks, sauteed mushrooms and onions. I usually don't eat bfast, but I had an early dinner last night (Buffalo Chicken Breast) and I wanted to avoid all the carb treats here at work. Chicken Alfredo tonight for dinner. Steaks planned for Saturday. Now - Need to plan for Sunday Superbowl. Bunless burgers and dogs maybe?..Go Pats! 3 -
I am in! This is a great idea, and my main goal is to lose 12 pounds this month, I lost 12 pounds in January and want to keep going. I will be also adding in mini-goals:
* exercising at least 4 days each week
* weighing all food when at home
* eating one salad everyday
* stay on track during the weekends (most important)
Have a great day everyone!2 -

I was le exhausted all day and depressed, but I powered through that crap anyway.
Yep. The best thing about Feb. F-Ups are that you can fix them with your next good choice.
F the scale. It's lazy and behind anyway.
I think you might benefit from listening to this:

I messed up many times during weight loss and maintenance. The key is to have more non-messed up days than messed up days. Accept the things we cannot change. Change the things we can. Know the difference. It gets better.

I am in. Just got a Fit Bit last weekend. It is still sitting in my guest room. Gonna set it up and learn how to use it.1
-
Thank you all so much. I honestly couldn't do this without your support and encouragement.
While doing the dishes this morning, every fifth washed and rinsed item I stopped a and did curls, squats, lunges and swings. I'm going to incorporate these types of quick workouts throughout the day. It makes it fun!
Thanks again, myfitnesspals. 3 -
For 2/2

Yay, it's Friday! This week has been good so far. Logging every day. Down 2 lbs for the week, so locking in last months' loss.
I finished reading The Obesity Code. Now going to go back through and take notes on what I learned. I'm flying to Europe for work next week, so that would be a good chance to try out a fasting day, if I was so inclined. I always eat too much on those flights, or feel like I NEED to eat, even if I don't feel hungry...
Have a good weekend!4 -

I'm on track, logging everything & keeping tight. Have been pushing to mix in exercise across the day. Going out tonight so just ate some chicken & cheese so as not to arrive famished. Will have 1 glass of wine. Happy Friday!2

Continue tracking thru the whole month of Feb and get 10k steps atleast 6 days a week. More water...and learning more about staying in Keto. I'd love to lose 6 lbs in Feb (more really- but will keep it real and obtainable) .2

Great day!
CW: 131.2
Goal range for maintenance: 130-133
Logged, calories were under (ate back 2/3 of exercise calories), did 4 miles on the trails (C25K Week 4 Day 2 plus extra walking), carbs were well within range and I had plenty of protein and fat. 2 -
2/3: weight is in range. Carbs were good. Collagen taken. Rest day aside from a short walk to the post office. Cold day but the fresh air was nice. Kind of slacked on the household chore...just did a few dishes.2
