12 Months of Health, Fitness & Fun

Another month past

Alright, quick recap...April's challenge to myself was to:

drink 96 oz of water a day....I failed miserably on that, not even drinking 64 oz a day.
taking my vitamins everyday...pretty much failed on that too.
going to the gym twice a week...that I did about 90% of the time, so that was my most successful goal.

I really thought it would be do-able this month, and instead I feel pretty darned bad. BUT...this is the last day of a bad month, time to look forward to tomorrow!

So, without further ado, May's challenges to myself are:

finish the C25K program and begin the 1 hour runner program outlined earlier in my blog. (Run 3 times a week)
workout at least 3 times a week...with tonight's discovery of the exercise channel on TV, no excuse not to get at least 20 minutes of exercise in a day.
take my damned vitamins every day again.
drink 64 oz of water a day.

I thought I would come by and introduce myself since I havent been by quite yet

My name is Amber (26), married to Chad (27) and we have one little pup. I was excited to see this group but didnt find out about it until well into the March challenge so glad to have some support! My April goals are:
*workout 5X a week (this month will probably be the toughest for this one but at least 30 minutes of something additional)
*eat at least one fruit or veggie each day (something I am still working on)
*cut down on sodium and sugars

In high school I was a good healthy weight of around 135-140. Went to college, by the time I graduated in 2003 I had gotten up to 185. I never weighed myself, went out partied too hard and ate like crap. I had actually lost about 10 lbs right before our wedding, knocking me down to around 175 for our wedding in May 2003.

Then, right after the wedding I ate like a pig, gained more weight but then lost some. Took a job in June 2005 where I did no exercise, the door was right in front of my face and sat on my the whole time and gained more weight.

In July 2006 I started WW and weighed in at 207.5 and as of today (4-6-07) I was down to 178.8 which brings my total to 28.7 lbs lost so far. My goal weight is 140 lbs which Im hoping I can get down to by December 2007. My goal for each week is to lose 1.1 lbs a week and so far I have been meeting this goal and more except for this week.

Hello All

Hello to all of the returning members and the much welcomed new members.

I am Tee. My April goal is very simple, to stick with the WW plan for the whole month. I am anxious to see the results of this since I have had so many on and off months.

I have joined a new WW meeting and I feel there is loads of excitement there. I am hoping this will give me the boost I need to stay on track until I reach my weight loss goal.

Wish me luck!

Checking In

Hey everyone, can you believe we're already a couple days into April? I barely even remember March happening it went by so quickly.

I'm in for another month, and I think my challenge is going to be, simply, to keep on keeping on. You know how they say don't fix what ain't broke? What I've been doing has been working realy well for me so far (57 pounds down!) so I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and hope my body doesn't get too comfortable and stop losing.

It might seem like a cop-out challenge, but it's my last month of classes before I graduate so the temptation to eat crappy foods and skip workouts is strong. My goal is to just hang in there and get through it, which will be a challenge I assure you.

Best of luck to everyone this month!

--------------------oOo-------------------- RARING TO GO DURING APRIL!!

Hi everyone,

Well we are in the first month of April already! This year is just flying by so far!

For April I have set myself a challenge to eat less - weird I know but I do think I need to manage my portion control a lot more. I am fine until dinner time in the evening and then could eat a horse (a little phrase we use here in Ireland)!

So far I have been doing ok, even though I have been tempted to stack the plate up each night. I do eat healthily since starting this challenge but think this has to be the reason why I haven't lost as much weight as I would have thought!

I know we have just been given our challenge partners for April - boy am I going to need you Paige and Alana!!!

Good luck to everyone this month.

Together we can do it.

--------------------oOo-------------------- DIET PLATE

My April Challenge is to concentrate on portion control! I have been eating less at mealtimes but am not sure how much I should be eating. I get up in the morning really hungry because I am used to having a big meal at night.

I think because my portion control hasn't been right I haven't been losing weight like I should be. I am sticking to my exercise regime and healthy eating but think I have been eating too much in the evenings.

I think I might have come up with a solution but wanted your advice!

A DIET PLATE

I didn't even know these existed. Does anyone have one?

Would you recommend one?

They are quite expensive so was wondering if it was worth getting one.

This is the one I thought about getting!

Paige--Checking In!

Once again, I'm in it this month!

Goal for April is to stick to WW Core for the entire month. Basically, this is to get me back in the habit of looking at food.....as opposed to just eating whatever I "THINK" is healthy.

Current stats have me at 160.00.... so 7 pounds lost since January! WHOOP!

--------------------oOo-------------------- Bringing on the snark!

Mwahahaha ... I'm done with being a good girl, and am bringing on the snark for April. I'm kinda going to keep my overall challenge to myself this month ... in looking back to past months, I always start off with a bang and fizzle out midway through the month (if I even made it that far!)

I don't quite know how to say what I want to say. I'm kind of like a commitment freak in reverse?? I like committing to something, but never follow through. I love making plans and goals and spreadsheets to track my progress, but once it gets to actually putting the plan in place and maintaining it? Fuggedaboudit!

So this month, I do have a plan, but won't be getting into too many details. I know what I gotta do, and I just gotta do it. I don't want to be known as the blogger that says she's gonna do this or that, but never follows through. Or is it too late to be known as that blogger since I'm already there? LOL! You say tomato, I say potato. LOL

So, I'm crossing all my digits and will do what I gotta do! Be sure to check on me during the month to help keep me honest!
