*NEW* Easter Fitness Challenge *Join Us*

I love it!
This week was absolute hell for me, I refuse to get on the scale because I know it is bad. This week is also going to be tough, because I am going up to New York, but I have to keep my goals.
This week I will:
Eat half my meals.
Walk instead of taking a cab
Do 50 crunches a day
It is so much easier to do things when you have to be accountable to someone else besides yourself!

I have new goals and would love to set them for Easter.

GOAL #1: NO MORE SCALE!!, I really don't care about my actual weight in lbs, I am to obsessed with my scale. Anyways, it's not how much I weight it's how I look! So my Goal for Easter is to not step on the scale once. if I can do that, I going shopping for new shoes! Then I'll step on the scale, :blushing: cause I will be curious by then!

Goal #2: INCHES!! I am going to keep track of my inches, I have chart of what I am at now and the goals for each body part, for example, I want to gain an inch in my biceps and calves and loss two inches in my belly. So when I check in it will be my inches that I have lost/gained. If I meet 9 out of 11 of my goals, I get to go shopping for a new outfit (head to toe)!

Goals #3: To exercise 6 out of 7 days a week, with three days of weights, for 60 minutes and three days of cardio of at least 60 minutes. If I achieve this goal I get to buy a new exercise outfit, shirt and pants.

I love shopping, so it makes a great reward for achieving my goals!

Good Luck to everyone for their own Easter Fitness Challenge! We're going to look great!!

Hmmmmmmm, With Easter being five weeks away I think I will try one week at a time....so here it goes:

#1 cardio at least 5 days a week
#2 weights 3 days a week
#3 bikram at least 1 day a week
#4 meditate daily for at least 10 minutes (very hard for me)
#5 no soda

That ought to take care of week #1.

New fitness goals:

Back in December, I think it was, there was a spring challenge. I had quite the list to do by March 25th (two days after Easter), well, I'm not sure any of it is going to happen unless I really put some effort into it. I know I will not run 1 mile - as little as that seems for someone of my fitness level, I just can't run. I will have to think of some sort of non-running related cardio goal. Maybe a setting of 5 on the elliptical, for 5 minutes, without my heart rate going to 90% (that's at 160 strides per minute). Maybe I'll make it 5 resistance, 5 minutes, 150 strides, at 75% heart rate - just to have all the "5s" in there. The interval training I'm in now, should make this possible.

Strength goal - 2.5 hours a week! I think I may need to put this on my calendar. I'm very wishy washy about it now - oh, I'll go to tomorrow's class. Monday (class), Wednesday (class), and Friday or Saturday (class or weights for some leeway).

Food goal - still putting that fork down. I'm beginning to see results, but still eat way too quickly. Last night I didn't finish a piece of cake, so this is really good for me.

Weight goal, hmmm. Right now I'm between 159-160. I'll say 156. But I'm really going to focus on the above goals more than the weight goal. I will also start weighing only once a week - that's once at home and once at the gym though. Not three or four times at home and at the gym!:blushing:

As for the original goals for Mach 25, well, we'll see. The running is out. I need to work on handstand more, but feel weird, or like a show off, at the gym doing it (and am too tired when I get home) I will figure out a way of putting it on my calendar though. - and as far as firefly pose goes, well I will do it, just not by March 25th - maybe side crow pose. I know, I must do a handstand out in the front yard 3 x a week until I can balance - there's motivation for you :laugh:

My goal is to lose a total of 30 lbs by end of April. 10 down, 20 to go!
So by Easter I should lose another 9 lbs about. That will be my goal
and to be more consistant with working out - up to about 4 times a
week - trying for 5.
So goals for Easter Fitness Challenge
1. Lose 9 lbs
2. Work out 5 times a week

Thanks!!

I want to lose 10 to 14 lbs by easter so 188 now aim to be 174 to 178 ish

Elliptical 4 times per week
Walk 60 mins per day
Core strength training 3 times a day
Eat my cals and get out of starvation mode (think it gettin better I was actually hungry between meals today) 3 x main meals plus two snack of at least 150 cals one at 10 one at 3 (NO PICKING).

And finally drink my water everyday plus at least 1 cup of green tea and 1 cup of camomile.

I like the idea of making a chart I think I will get onto that on Monday with my daughters help.

I hope to be near my goal by 13th mar as this is my anniversary and 1 year soon I will be the same size as I was when I got married.

Good luck to all!

Bauekel we are in the same boat--13 pounds would get me to 200!!

GOAL #2-Situps at least 6 days a week (I need the leeway just in case)
