    Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day - I'm terrible about water intake!

    Actually lose weight, even if only 1 lb, since I haven't lost anything in over 6 weeks.

    May goals...(which I have saved the list as my background picture on my phone so I see it all day everyday)

    -Workout 5 times a week (combination of running and 30 Day Shred)
    -Log onto MFP every single day
    -NO going over calories
    -Fit into 1 outfit from "the pile" (the pile is a few items that I could probably get away with wearing but are slightly too snug for my liking)

    My classes start again in June, so I want to make some serious progress in May. Not only lose weight and have visible changes, but a solid schedule or routine that will be easy to maintain once classes do start.

    Hi All,

    After a naughty April, I want a clean May! My May goals are:

    1. One cheat day per week.
    2. Log ALL food and exercise.
    3. Exercise 4 times per week for a FULL hour.
    4. One weigh in per week.
    5. Stay under my calorie goal every day (except my cheat day).


    I love your goals! They are perfect for me except that I may not exercise for a full hour each time. I am just starting off so I am gonna shoot for 30 minutes (at least) each session. My husband and I are starting the 30D Shred by Jillian Michaels so even with me modifying I will still be doing better than I am now, which is nothing. LOL

    That should have said 200 "MINUTES" of cardio per week. 200 hours of cardio per week would be a little ambitious. But I guess I could have said 178 hours per week since hopefully I'll have some kind of cardio activity going on at all times:wink:

    178 is still rather ambitious, since there are only 168 hours in a week...

    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.

    Ended the month at 189.2 lbs, which is down about 6 lbs for the month - approximately 1/2 of my goal. However, still a success. I did have about four days where I grossly exceeded my calorie needs - travel, graduations, holidays are all difficult. I found out that it is not enough to take healthy foods with me on a trip - I must also plan each meal, otherwise I will "graze" and over eat. It is also rather difficult to exercise normally when traveling. I'll have to work on this.

    *Reaching macro nutrient goals - I did really well in this area.

    *Eating more fruits, veggies, legumes, and nuts - This was also an area of improvement. I'm finding that my cravings for red meat are subsiding somewhat. Strangely, my taste for chocolate has increased. This seems odd for a guy that has never been a big fan of chocolate.

    *Avoiding processed foods - Another successful area. Getting better at eating fresh and raw.

    *Limiting dairy - Only fair success here. I've limited Chobani w/fruit, but I've started including more cheeses.

    *Continuing cardio workouts - Overall an area of strong improvement. I've had very few days that did not incorporate a cardio workout of some type.

    *Incorporate more resistance training - Utter and complete failure, which is a heavy contributor to my lack of attainment of my weight loss goal. I know I must work out (especially the upper body) if I am to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it seems so pointless and like I am going no where when doing this. Maybe a PT would help, I dunno. Sometimes someone nagging me gets me going.

    Thoughts and advice are welcomed. I'll post new goals in a June thread.
