    I need to start focusing on balance. Too often I deliberately eat super lightly and miserably all day so that I can stop by the chinese food place for dinner and be under my calorie goal. That's okay once and awhile but this month is going to be focused on balance, and making sure each meal is worth putting in my body.

    My goal for May is reach my fat loss goal of 184 lbs. I intend to do this by:

    *Reaching my macro nutrient goals
    *Eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts
    *Avoiding processed foods
    *Limiting dairy (I'm addicted to Chobani)
    *Continuing the cardio workouts
    *Incorporating more resistance training

    Looking forward to June when I will start concentrating on muscle tone and development after having reached my desired weight goal.

    I was pretty happy with April even though I have been unable to complete the cto5k due to stupid shin splints. However my goals for the month are:

    * 1 rest day from exercise per week
    * Cardio workout every other day for at least an hour (min 500 calories per workout)
    * Aim for 4 lots of Jacobs Ladder (242 steps each way; down and up equals 1 lot) - currently best I have been able to achieve is 3 lots
    *Complete a 4km walk/run on 27th May

    If I can do all of the above and continue to eat healthy, I am hoping to lose 4kgs in May (approx 8.81 pounds)

    April had some good results, but I have a bad habit of getting on the scale every day. It hasn't really moved but I am getting smaller.

    1. To not step on the scale at all. I will weigh myself June 1st.
    2. Take measurements once a week. Goal is to lose 2 inches from my waist and 2 from my hips.
    3. Get as close to my protein goal as I can every day.

    I have a 4-day weekend away planned for mid month where alcohol will be a focus of the days and nights - we're viisiting the NY Finger Lakes and we will be on the Wine Trail. Then there is an Irish Pub 2 blocks away from our motel! It will be a long weekend of food debauchery since I won't be preparing my own meals either...

    My goal is to eat as well as I possibly can while away. I haven't taken this long "off" since I started here 1 year ago and this will be a challenge to live "real life" (semi real life) ....
    I'd also like to still lose at least 2 pounds during this month.
    I would also like to challenge myself to at least a 20 minute run each morning that I am away - Saturday, Sunday and Monday while the others sleep or hit the shower!

    I am flying to Texas with my little girl May 26th to visit my brother and sister-in-law stationed at Ft. Hood. My brother hasn't seen me since September 2011 when I was 27 pounds heavier. I would like to...
    1. Lose at least 3 more pounds so that I can be on the Wall of Champions at my gym. :)
    2. Lose a total of 5lbs before I leave for Texas for a total weight loss of 32lbs.
    3. Buy a size 16 jean to take with me to Texas - I haven't worn a 16 since high school! Getting close to this goal. My size 18s that I just bought are falling off of me!
    4. Try new food recipes, especially involving fish - recently discovered I like tilapia. :)
    5. Continue my work outs every week day, even though I will be adding softball 2 nights a week (4 games a week). I'm worried I will be so worn out I won't continue my regular work outs.

    Goals: I would *love* to lose 5 pounds. Don't know if it's possible, but I will give it a shot.
    Also want to log in my food carefully & honestly, and stay away from sugar as much as possible.
    Last, I want to do 30 day shred @ home & go to the gym for classes at least 3x a week.
    Just started a new job which will require gym in the morning... I'm not a morning person :D

    I am going on a vacation to Colorado with my boyfriend and dogs in about 6 weeks and I want to be wearing the jeans I wore the day I met him 20 months ago. I have about 14 pounds to go to hit that mark I think. I want to be able to hike and bike and swim on vacation and not be out of breath and be able to keep up with the dogs and the boyfriend! Our vacation is the weekend after I graduate from college for the third time and I want to be in the best shape of all my graduations! :) So my goal weight for the end of May is 165 pounds :) I also want to go to Kosama 6 days a week, every week this month. No days missed!

    Last month I gave up sugar. No cake, cookies, ice cream, donuts, candy, well you get the point. I started while on vacation in Texas. The change in routine made it surprisingly easier. I was not expecting much and did not do it to loose weight, but I have found an enormous benefit was gained. I no longer feel bound and chained by my obsession with sweets. I no longer sneak to eat donuts or make late night runs for ice cream. I FEEL FINALLY FREE.

    This month I will lower my fat intake. Looking forward to how I will feel in June.
