Okay, so Week 1 of the LMRFC has officially started! Woo hoo! What are your fitness goals for the week? Try to make them measurable and doable. It's also more likely you'll meet your goals if you don't set too many. :)

Here's mine: increase my strength training to two additional 20 min sessions per week and get back on a normal sleep schedule where I am asleep by 11 and awake by 7 a.m. (preferably 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., but I'll take anything over going to sleep at 7 a.m. and getting only a couple of hours before spending a useless bleary day trying to cope ::g::).

    My goal is too drink more water and try to get more sleep.

    I'd also like to add more strength training into my cardio routine.

    My goal is to dust off my treadmill and get at least 2 miles three times by Sunday evening. It is very dusty....

    Also, I want to find a good hand-weight exercise routine that I can do a couple of times a week.

    My goal for this week to exercise every day after work. It works better for me if I do it as soon as I get home.

    My goals this week are to eat every three hours with setting a timer. (The timer is new. Doing it myself isn't working.)
    water exercise Tue, Wed, Thur and Sat. Dance rehearsals on Tue night. Keeping this schedule up till May 12th.
    Need to drink enough water so I'm going to start counting that.

    my goals for this week are to start eating healthier by eliminating a good chunk of the amount of sugar I usually consume. I also want to start walking.

    My goals are to keep under my calorie count and do at least 1/2 hour of walking or more a day. Have to be really good this week to prep for RT next week because I know it will be hard to keep in line then. :happy:

    I am trying to drink more water and eat less junk food. I also don't eat anything for at least three hours before I go to bed and drink only water. That's super hard!! Lol I am also hoping to find a workout my ankle can handle. Looking forward to rt next week!!! I get to see my captain in person!! :)

    My goal is to drink more water, be consistent on logging my food, and to find a form of excercise that I enjoy so that I will keep up with it.

    My goals this week are to exercise at least 6 days, and not have a food blowout when my DH insists on going out to dinner. Also I want to try to make it to the new Body Pump class at the gym(It starts at 9:15 am so I'll have to <carefully> drop DH off at the train and race the 20 odd min. back to the gym - fingers crossed).
    Also, I keep yo-yo-ing on a few lbs and I want this week to be the one where the loss stays that way :)

    My goals are to add different exercises, to get more sleep and to journal during the day not just at night so I don't forget food that I ate.

    My goal is to really track every think I eat or drink this week and to get to the gym at least 5 days this week. I've recently increased my water intake and I feel so much better already. Good Luck everyone!!!

    Less soda! More water! I repeat those, as I am really struggling with the no soda thing. I have noticed a decrease in bloating though, so that says a lot.

    I also want to defeat the blahs! You know the kind you get where you start doing the math on just how long it's going to take you to get through the workout and all the other stuff you need to do that will take you longer to get to because...SIGH...you have to work out?

    Yeah, those blahs. I need to get into the habit of not thinking about my day until after I get out of bed and workout...THEN I can start planning. If I get up and walk around and make some coffee... there's a 80% chance I will talk myself out of exercising.

    Establishing a routine would be a better way to say that...but as in all things...I like to complicate matters for some reason.

    LOL

    Best,
    Gin

    My goals for this week are to be more consistent in my exercise every day, whether it's the gym or the Wii at home. Also to drink more water daily and get on a more routine schedule of eating. I also need to try to find additional things to incorporate into my diet that are healthy, but that I will actually eat, as I'm a very picky eater.

    My goal this week is to add some sort of weekend exercise to my routine. The weekends are usually my off days for exercise but with the warm weather now I can get moving outside and it will seam like less of a chore. At least that's what I am hoping.:smile:

    My goals for the week are to incorporate fruits and veggies into at least one meal a day, track my meals each day, and find strength exercises to do at home.

    Week one is nearly over and I stayed on track all week so next week, more water, less coffee. That will be a challenge as I will be in Chicago for RT. Anyone else going?

    I worked out three days this week and walked 2 miles with my neighbor. Now if only I could get my food entered into the food journal I'd be well on my way to success.
