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

@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.
I love the squat/lunge challenge idea!!!!! I'm in!!!1 -

I can't find the lunge challenge, but I just figured I'd mirror the squat challenge with lunges.1

I have sadly fumbled over the past month, my excuse being that we're in the middle of a home renovation project and doing 80% of the work ourselves. (What were we thinking?) Hopefully we're back in our normal routine in another ten days and I can re-schedule regular fitness activities. Schlepping heavy buckets of water from bathroom to garage and back while my husband grouts tile is hard work but not exactly "fitness."3

Goals for March:
1) Get appropriate sleep each night. I have awful insomnia but am hoping with the lavender oil I made, the teas I bought, and some exercise each day, I'll be getting better...
2) Speaking of which, exercise each day! Strength or cardio, does not matter, but I know I just have to get moving, every day, no excuses (within reason tbh).
3) GET OUT OF OBESITY. I have 10 pounds, just 10 measly pounds (10.3, to be picky), until I'm there, and I know I can do it! Just have to be diligent in my carb counting and exercise.
4) The real challenge: only drinking alcohol once this month. In borderline-alcoholic territory over here, and beyond it being bad for weight loss, it's bad for me emotionally and in other physical capacities. I'm on day 4. I feel confident (to a reasonable degree. It's St. Patrick's Day this month!) and I know you all can take on your big challenges headfirst and be great.
We can do this, y'all! Anyone who feels like they might need a little bit of extra support, feel free to friend or message me 3 -
I definitely am in need of shaping up some things in my life. For this month I'm going to focus on two goals. I want to shape up my food intake. My eating has been all over the map for far too long. I would like to stick to my calories each day and stay under net 30g of carbs per day. I am also going to focus on decreasing the amount of alcohol I am drinking.2

60g protein
60 ounces water
All my vitamins and consistent logging

I'd love to join in if that's okay!
My goals :
1. Do Yoga...3 times a week minimum (hoping to find some YouTube vids for out of shape beginners)
2. Drink more water. Holy crap that's hard for me. Getting time to use the bathroom at my job is a task in itself.
3. Start c25k. Weather permitting I will get out on the pavement this month.

3/1: carbs and weight are in range. Collagen taken. No workout. Relapsed with this beast of a cold. If I never see another tissue again it'll be too soon!!! Frustrating that I got into a great workout routine last month and now I've been sidelined almost a week... It is what it is though.2
-
Day 1 I did my kettle bell workout and walked a couple of hours today. I was under 30 g of carbs as well yay!2
