Hey everyone! I thought this could be a fun post where we can all share some goals for this month and maybe inspire others to set their own goals. I have always set New Year's Resolutions but this year I decided every month to set a new group of goals to work towards achieving my New Year's Resolutions. I would like to share this months goals with you all, and hope you all will share your goals with me too. Who knows you may like one of my goals and want to challenge yourself to reach that goal and I may do the same with your goals. So here are my March 2012 Goals:

1. Exercise a minimum of 15 hours. This could average out to about 30 minutes a day or break it down to an hour a day a few days a week.
2. Stay under my calorie goal at least 21 out of the 31 days this month.
3. Do NOT eat out at a restaurant or fast food place. I will allow two slips on this one only because I have a friends who's birthday is this month and we usually go eat and a movie, and the other is in case of unexpected company.
4. Lose 2 lbs per week or a total of 8 lbs the entire month.
5. Start a recipe book of my favorite meals. Include nutritional information for easy access to a healthy meal.
6. Burn between 3,500-7,000 calories a week. This would be 14,000-28,000 for the entire month.

I look forward to seeing everyone's goal's :)

    I am very pleased to see so many responses already. All of the goals I have read so far seem great! I may even steal a few for my April goals :) Remember when you feel like you can't drink another ounce of water or take another step "We Got This!!!"
