Healthy and Fit in 2012! (Closed Group)

OKAY LADIES! Week 1 is coming to a close & week 2 starts tomorrow. I have to say you are all doing absolutely awesome & it is so motivating & inspiring to see everyone burning up those calories, logging, & always improving. I think most of us had a rough Saturday but I think the weekends are always a challenge (even for me and I work ALL weekend)

I am going to post my recap of week 1 as well as my goals for the upcoming week today since tomorrow will be nutty for me!

***WEEK 1 RECAP***
EXERCISE (easing myself back into a routine):
- Go to spin class at least twice (CHECK: I went on Tuesday & Friday)
- Do an addition 30minutes of cardio (CHECK: did an additional 110 minutes)
- Strength training 1x (CHECK: did my pushups on Friday)

FOOD:
- get back to logging EVERYTHING!!!!! (CHECK)
- Drink 24 ounce of WATER each day (NOPE: I only managed to accomplish that on 4 of the days)
- Squeeze in 2 cups of plain Kefir (NOPE: did that one out of two days)
- NO chips! (CHECK)

***GOALS FOR WEEK 2***
EXERCISE
Go to spin class THREE times this week
Do an additional 60 minutes of additional cardio
Strength training 1X

FOOD
- drink 16 ounces of PURE water a day besides flavored, teas & etc (decreasing the amount so hopefully I'll manage better)
- Hit 80 grams of protein at least 3 times this week!
- Have some sort of veggie EVERYDAY (This week was good 6/7 days, want to improve)
- Eat fruit on at least 5 days next week (Only had fruit 3 days this week, again need to improve)

LET'S POWER THROUGH TODAY AND START A BRAND NEW EXCITING WEEK!

OOPS, I forgot! Thanks for the reminder!


Weight loss goal: 10.2 lbs (This is a desired loss including the water weight I gained over the holidays) Going for 132 lbs!
Weight loss total: 6.6 lbs (Week 1)

Week 0: 142.2 -- starting weight (post Holiday bloat & gain ::GASP::)
Week 1: 135.6 (-6.6 lbs; a lot of water weight lost)
Week 2:
Week 3:
Week 4:

Hello ladies! Hope you all had a good weekend. Tomorrow I start my new job and I am super excited! I will post my weight tomorrow morning, for now I'll review my week 1 and plan for week 2.

Week 1 goals were to: stay at or under each day (check!)

Exercise every day (check!)

Abs twice during the week (check!!)

Strength train 3 times during the week (kinda check, I did various things like push ups, pulling harder on the handles on the elliptical, and weights)

Food goal was to eat fruits and veggies every day (I'll admit I slacked a couple days on this one!)

Week 2 goals:

Exercise- run 5 days, power walk two days.
3 ab workouts
3 strength sessions
Stretch every morning
Go to yoga!

Food- stay under
Fruits and veggies every day
At least 10 cups of water/tea each day

Good luck everyone on week 2!!

I think I need a new set of scales. I actually felt good about weighing this morning because I felt like I had a good first week. Well, when I first got on the scales, it said about 7 lbs loss (which I KNEW wasn't right), tried again, got the same number as last week, then consistently got 2 lbs MORE than last week! :grumble: My hubby says it's always accurate for him though. So, I think my scales are purposely trying to cause psychological damage & make me give up. ::devil:
I think I will wait a few days until I officially weigh in---til either my body quits fluctuating so much or I get new scales! (It is almost TOM).
I stayed on target last week with alternating a workout dvd with a walk/jog & strength training every day.
I drank my 8 cups of water -almost- every day, will work on that this week!
Only had diet soda every other day! Yay!
Only went over my calorie goal one day this week.

This weeks goals will be pretty similar to last week:
Mon, Wed, Fri cardiomax (biggest loser dvd)
Tues, Thurs, Sat walk/jog & power scupt (biggest loser dvd)
Sun- rest day
I also am going to strive to get in a bonus exercise at least 3 days this week (besides my regular dvd or jog).

Drink 8+ glasses of water daily
Cut out soda to no more than one every other day
add more fruits & veggies to my diet
stay at 1200 calories daily

Oh--and my goal is to lose 5 lbs total this month going from 150.6 to 145.6 (IF that truly was my start weight! )

Well I am not even sure if I posted my starting weight.

Week 1: 123.5
Week 2: 123.0

Woohoo!!

And my last post lol sorry for flooding this thing, so I used a different scale today than normal. Anyone know how different scales are from one another? I usually use the big nice one at the gym and today I used my neighbor's Weight Watchers scale. Hmmm

Week-1 went well...
I found my positive attitude again, exercise 4/4 (goal was 2/4) and diary complete 4/4!

For week 2 my goals are:

Exercise: cardio 5/7 and strength or circut training 2/7.
Food: Sugars 5g or less over (this is a tough one for me). Atleast 1 serving of fresh fruit and veg everyday and complete my diary 7/7.

I know we are supposed to post weight loss goals too, but today I made my goal weight (Yay!) And I'm not quite sure where I'm wanting to go with this yet....I guess I will plan to maintain my current weight 198.5lbs and if I lose I lose...

Hope everyone has a great week!!

That's awesome! Congrats on making your goal weight! :happy: They say that now the true test begins! I'll be cheering you on!

What are you eating on the cleanse? I am thinking of doing this, but not with "cleanse" products. Just wholesome, fresh foods. Going to buy a ton of fruit this week at the grocery store!

Good job on your goals!!! Sleep is so good for us in so many ways!!!!

You got this!!!!!

Thank you! I got a two week cleanse that's all herbal and I got it for free (after mail in rebate) :happy:
I'm just trying to eat as clean as I can and avoid all the things listed in my goals. I eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can and stick to very lean meats and quinoa is my best friend. Feel free to look at my diary...except today I forgot and accidently added some cheese to my omelet.
When me and my friend did it in the past we would add things to smoothies like protein powder, psyllium husks, bee pollen, beet powder...there were a few others I can't remember.
