Welcome to the May Challenge Board!!
I always love May and the things that happen in May. It is my birthday month, my anniversary month when I married the love of my life, Mother's Day to celebrate my mom and being a mom and *School's Out for Summer ** (go ahead and sing aloud if you know that song!...lol)

I want this May to also be a happy one for moving and weight loss! April was a personal challenge as I struggled to lose weight and reach my personal goals. Therefore, I am going to set weekly goals again within my month and I challenge you to fit what works best for you this month! If you want to cut/paste my all caps stuff for yourself, go for it and let's keep losing!!!

MY GOALS FOR WEEK 1 IN MAY: (Shooting to lose 6 pounds this month at least)
1. Drink a minimum of 6 glasses of water!!
2. Exercise at least 6 days this week... 5 treadmill days with increasing speed and increasing incline and 1 day of Jillian
3. Continue weighing on Thursdays (my biggest loser with the school is over and I need to continue this commitment)

MY GOALS FOR WEEK 2 IN MAY:

MY GOALS FOR WEEK 3 IN MAY:

MY GOALS FOR WEEK 4 IN MAY:

Let's do this!!

    My goal for May is lose another 10 pounds. That will put me at a 35 lbs. weight loss. I want to get back into a daily exercise routine and would like to start adding in the gym to my schedule. I am currently at 242 ( due to a half lb. weight gain) This will put me at 232....been a long time since I saw that number...LOL

    tknwatkins: I am so proud of you how you can get up early in the AM and wake yourself up with Jillian. I just don't have the motivation and time in the AM. I plan on visiting her after work today. I personally love the punches! I stand in front of the TV and pretend that I am punching her in the face (because by that time in the video, she has already kicked my butt) :)

    hauer01,
    I have to wake up early and exercise because I am so busy with my children and work, by the time I get home I have nothing left! I set my alarm an hour early just to have some alone time and exercise and it is something I can really stick with. I set my alarm on my phone and put it across the room so I have to get up to turn it off and once I am up... I might as well stay up! Hope you and Jillian had a great day! lol

    Ooh! I didn't get up early today to do it, but I plan to do it after work! I will admidt though, that I like getting it out of the way in the AM. It gave me so much more energy during the day. I will definately be getting up early a couple of days a week to do it. Not everyday, but a couple.

    Thanks for the inspiration tknnwatkins!
