I'm already pretty happy with my carb level, calories, and cardio. What I'm lacking is strength training. That's my challenge for March.
My goal is to do at least 3 strength sessions per week.2 -
30 minutes daily assorted activity.
report daily when I log in food.
More is better, but no rollovers.lol.1 -
I want to just stick w/keto and not go off when I have a carb/sugar craving or its the weekend. I am yo-yo-ing and am sick of it.

Hi, I am a newbie to site and to keto, so hope its ok for me to join in!? Started on Sat 25th Feb, so still in my first week and getting to grips with it all. With that in mind my goals for March are to:
-Log daily without fail
-Aim to get as close to macros as possible (count BEFORE eating so not going over)
-Primarily, just to stick to keto for the entire month and not give in / carb binge
I'll likely revisit goals as time goes by - just want to get started on right track to start with before setting self too many challenges. Presently so excited by new WAO!5 -
Awesome!! I just started a beach body program yesterday. Im already feeling the burn. Here's to sticking with it! It's 6 days a week so I'm intimidated but dedicated to a 90 day program.3

'Back on the wagon' time lol.
* Get all my 8 glasses of water in.
* Do not eat after midnight (I'm on night shift til 4:30 am) or before 2 pm (IFing).
* NO MORE CANDY EVEN IF THEY GIVE IT AWAY FREE!! Damn post holiday sales!

Hi everyone! Newbie alert
I'd like to join in on the challenge, but as a newbie my challenge is just going to be about being mindful of what I'm eating and planning ahead so I don't get caught out... I'm keen to try and work more veggies into my totals too, so that'll be challenge #2

I'm back from vacation. "only' a 3 pound gain. Sigh.
Had a great time, ate, hiked, walked, ate again drove and ate again.
New Month and new start. Hopefully, the weather will start getting warm again and the days longer soon so I can get out and move more this month. Being more mindful helped me last year. I am ready again.
SW: 173
GW: 163 for March.

@swezeytba we make all the kids leave their electronics down stairs at night and our reason is "better sleep and no temptation." So maybe, as a parent I should take the advice I give my kids and follow my own rules.
If I followed all the things I make my kids do I'd be a happier, healthier person. I'm a better mom than human!
This cracks me up because it is so true for me too.0 -
@mmultanen I'm with you! I can't leave my phone elsewhere at night, given that it's my alarm. But I should definitely stop putzing around with it until the moment I fall asleep. I'm not that popular anyway Great goal that I'm copying. No more phone after 8pm
I want to do a squat/lung challenge I saw online where you start off doing 10 squats/lunges and then add 5 more everyday. I want to also look up some exercises incorporating hand weights and exercise bands.
Logging my food everyday...even if I slip up. To be accountable for what I'm putting in my body.
And then just carrying over the rest from February, as far as eating slower and keeping daily total carbs below 50g. I am going to try to use the scale as little as possible, and no more than 1 weigh in a week.
Where is the squat lunge challenge, adding in small amounts of strength training and toning has made such a huge difference in how I feel:)2 -
So day one of March and I'm off to a good start... Today was definatelly my intense day as far as work outs go... I did 30 minutes on the treadmill at 2 min intervals, 2 minutes running than 2 minutes walking. Followed that up with my Strength workout and followed that up with 30 minutes on the stationary bike. I burned 400 plus calories in my workouts I'm pretty happy!1

I find these monthly challenges help me maintain. So for March not much is changing goal wise:
Maintain my weight -/+ 5 lb
Carbs below 50 net
Outdoor walking or jogging at least once a week
Finishing up Chalean Extreme
Collagen for joints/skin
Spring clean-up of the house
Bonus goal: trying for 1-2 morning workouts a week if possible. Not a morning person but I had some success last month.0 -
So glad I'm counting last night's sleep as part of February still and tonight is my first March night. My youngest had a rough night and I ended up with a 3 hour chunk of sleep and a 1 hour chunk of sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzz...0

I'll play because keeping active is my "thing". I soooo want to lay on the bed or stretch out in the recliner with a pillow behind my neck. I'll get the whining out of the way 1st. It's not so much the Dystonia but this damn torn rotator cuff from a fall last May. It is WAY better. It just takes time...and focus. I've not given it the focus it needs....
I'll do an 800 minute Mix-It Up March:
Walking (after my blisters earned in February heal)
7 Minute Workout App (android)
Stationary Recumbent
Aerobics
Yoga
Pilates
Basic Body Stretches
Body Resistance Exercises (which I hate)
Physical Therapy Resistance Bands
. Still hooked to my door and staircase. Rarely used.
PiYo (Thanks for that reminder in another thread)
Kettlebells- maybe. Depends on the arm. Mine are very light 4 and 8 pounds, I think.
Youtube is my go to. Fitnessblender, JessicaSmith, Blogilates, Missy Cornish (only) Fit For Duty. She's cute and bubbly versus loud, abrasive and demanding.
Will be looking for other activities to try. My eating/foods/macros are AOK.

I'm in!! I haven't done one of these since before Christmas!
I need to commit to a better exercise plan and de-stressing myself. I will start with those two this time! *sticks toes into water gently*2 -
Day 1!
45 minutes, moderate pace pond walk
Yes!
Hopefully some yoga stretches tonite, but that would be bonus time

Kicked off my Shape-Up challenge with 15 sets x 10 reps x 16 pounds. If I can do this 3x per week I'll be happy. And hopefully my arms won't feel like noodles by the end of it!

I'm gonna have to simplify for this one. Too many goals clogs up the works for me. I'm going with being consistent at NOT EATING SUGAR. I'm going to leave the scale and calories alone, and not eat sugar, no sugar, no grains, no starch.8
