Guest AC Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thank you for keeping this and other similar threads going!!! As I have said in the past, while I may wish I simply had the internal self motivation to do everything I should, the reality is I am more of a people pleaser. My person to please is gone, making threads like these very useful to me. When I get my computer back, I will join in as best I can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hey Virgo. This week I aimed for 3 strength training days and 4 running days. So far I'm 2/3 strength, and 3/4 running. Two days to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bear1956 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 225 pounds body weight by my 40th high school reunion 28 Nov 2015. Current BW is 290ish. The plan is daily whole body workouts with light weight until I lose a bunch of blubber, and get my hernia fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littlebirdie Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Okay, so I'm aiming for yoga every day - working on my arm and core strength so I can do handstands again. I hate that I've lost so much strength/core stability over the past couple of years. Plant-based diet - I'm not vegan, but I do aim to get the bulk of my calories from plants and starchy carbs. I eat mostly rice, potatoes, greens and beans/lentils; I eat a lot of soup. Sometimes fruit, but more so in the summer. I know my diet sounds boring, but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to food. I'm not looking for anything drastic, just consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingm Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thank you for this thread! I am coming out of my winter slumber - basically total hibernation, zero activity level. Committed to walking four days a week for an hour a day. Thank you all for your inspiration. Wishing you success in achieving your goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hachi Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Started Zumba at Christmastime, I have been doing three classes a week most weeks. I added a "boot camp" class on Saturdays last month. Now just have to add the part about backing away from the table a little sooner! Feeling a lot stronger and sleeping better. Zumba is quite a hoot for me, I can't dance and get it wrong all of the time, but the ladies are very nice and encouraging and the hour flies by. All the real dedicated women have fit bits so they tell us how many steps and calories. Usually 6K steps and 360 calories, but I figure every time I do a leg lift I am lifting twice what they are so maybe I am burning more? Ha ha . Just want the scale moving in the right direction. Would love to get back to my fighting weight, but that would just be an added perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissingSquish Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I've got to lose some weight. I gained a bunch over the winter, and need to get back to excercising daily (which I haven't been doing). Went to ballet this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangomom Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I have been attending Bootcamp 4-5 days a week for 7 months. We started an 8 week transformation challenge January 3rd and we had to partner with a friend. The accountability was key. We were announced as the winners at the dinner tonight! 34 lbs down between us and I personally lost about 10 inches total. But, it's over. I need another goal. Maybe another 8 week personal challenge? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portside Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Time to get back into trim after winter. Was at the gym 4x this week with a new coach. Former pro footballer and now my strength coach. I hurt everywhere - I think even my hair hurts. But in a good way. Coming week's goal - 4x again and keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bear1956 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I need another goal. Maybe another 8 week personal challenge? Suggestions? To run a 5k? Bluebird might have better ideas on how to train for this than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I need another goal. Maybe another 8 week personal challenge? Suggestions? To run a 5k? Bluebird might have better ideas on how to train for this than me. I am training for a ? marathon 5/2. I think I need a nutrition goal. I'm training for a half too Mangomom! Mine is 4/19. Congratulations on winning your challenge! 10" is incredible!!!! Perhaps you could think about working on the quality of your diet in some way? I find that sometimes it's good to give my body a break after calorie restricting, but so I don't lose progress, I try and enhance quality. Like making a choice to eliminate any added sugars, or cutting out soda. My personal goal right now is to maintain and eat enough protein so I don't lose muscle mass with all the running I'm doing.

Bluebird Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hey Virgo. This week I aimed for 3 strength training days and 4 running days. So far I'm 2/3 strength, and 3/4 running. Two days to go... Got my 4th run in today and PR'd my pace! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManutesGirl Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Good luck to those training for a half marathon. I'm running one May 9th. But my big thing is I am doing my first triathlon on May 3rd. Should be interesting as I have not been out on my bike yet... Mangomom - nutrition goal - maybe cut out processed food? I know planning my meals for the week is very helpful (although I don't do it often enough). My biggest issue is lunch. If I don't cook dinner then I don't have leftovers for lunch...then the lunch struggle begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexswife Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Getting fit has become my new hobby. I gained about 15 pounds after Alex died, thanks to mt.dew. I've since lost 10 of those pounds by using workout videos on fitnessblender.com I've also tried to drink less soda. That is the hardest thing for me because soda is like my comfort food. My goal this week is to cut back on the amount of mt. dew I drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangomom Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 @bluebird and @manutes girl - I have cut out sodas, artificial sweeteners and most processed foods. I need to take in more protein like you said, Bluebird. I think my next number to hit will be a body fat percentage loss. Not sure what is a reasonable goal though. Off to read up! @Manutes girl... an half THEN a tri? I wanna be you when I grow up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylee627 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Week goals: 1. Attend two yoga sessions 2. Attend two Zumba sessions and/or treadmill intervals Gotta get this fitness thing off the ground. I need to get back in shape, but I need the endorphins like nobody's bidness!

OSAAT Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Today is my first day off of caffeine and nicotine (cold turkey). First day on raw/whole foods/vegan cleanse. I am feeling a very slight headache and pretty tired right now. My goal this week is to continue my cleanse and not give in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
