April 2013-30 Day Challenge!!

[Anissa Christine]

Here we go! New month = new goals!

Here are my goals for April!

1) I would like to lose 5 pounds this month (I am currently 174 pounds). Weight loss has really slowed down because I am close to goal, but I think 5 pounds is totally doable.

2) Keep up with my resistance/weight lifting. I want to do these activities at least 4 times a week.

3) Make certain to take my vitamins every day (I have been slacking off from time to time).

4) Attend the support group meeting this month (10th).

5) Attend my appointment with my psychologist on the 26th.

6) Activate my Groupon for the 10-kick boxing classes! This is something I would have never tried in the past, but now I am willing to step outside my comfort zone.


So what are your goals??

Remember this isn't a contest or a race! Whether you have one or one hundred goals this is YOUR journey. This is merely a way of making yourself step-up and be accountable!

Best wishes on reaching/achieving your goals everyone!

Hey Girl!! I hit my 100 lbs lost this morning!! And you know how I have been fighting it the last couple of weeks even with the 2 lb gain!! I agree, my weight loss is slowing down also, so close to that last few pounds!! I am so proud of you!! Got to get in that strength, core exercises!!!!

I too have slowed on my loss and am only 10 lbs from goal at 10 months out so my goals for April are ...

1) Lose 5 lbs
2) Start walking 30 minutes 4x a week (ignore the back pain & do it!)
3) Restart my resistance training 3x a week
4) Start taking my calcium again (naughty me!!!).

Thanks for the reminder that goals, even the minor ones, are important regardless of our point in the journey!!

My March goals were a miserable failure lol. The only one I accomplished was to continue my couch to 5k running program. I am sure at one point that would have bummed me out BUT it is a new month and I have 30 new days to try something else!!

So, I am 172 this morning- by the end of the month I think 168 would be nice!! Let's make that the first goal.

Last month I wanted to ask hot gym friend to the movies- FAIL- but I did get a lot closer to him through March and we did have lunch together several times. Let's make the second goal of the month to ask him out for a DRINK.

Last month I wanted to pay off all of my Disney vacation- I paid half so...let's make this month's goal to FINISH paying it off.

I bought myself one of those no-no home-laser hair removal doo-dads and I want to use it EVERY day this month to see if it works. I am terrible at keeping up serial beauty routines so this is going to be a major challenge.

And one final goal: I want to have enough extra cash saved so I can go get a massage.

I want to just to be able to handle the mussies, I am scared to death to eat anything not in liquid form I also want to lose 10 pounds

Christine? What are the "mussies"?
Goals for March....
1.) today's weight 132.4 >>>> goal 128
2.) get back in the pool and swim (had back surgery 2 weeks ago) -- I miss it and what it does for me
3.) arrange for early June hernia repair and possibly tummy tuck (if they'll take me on)
4.) DRINK MORE!!! I have been severely dehydrated from swimming and it has effected my kidneys. How about a goal of 16 ounces of water BEFORE any sip of coffee?
5.) Look into strength training -- I am pretty weak and need to develope better upper body and core strength
6.) Enjoy the weather before it turns torrid here in Atlanta.
Best to everyone!
Hugs

OK. April goals--

1. Lose 10 more pounds. I am at 189 right now so by the end of the month I should be at 179.

2. Only have 1 piece of cake on my birthday! My birthday is April 9th and of course everyone wants to stuff the fat girl with cake. Only 1 piece of cake for me!!!

3. Get back to going to the gym 3-4 times a week!! I was doing really good until the last 3-4 weeks when my supervisor went out for surgery-so I have been working 50-60 hours a week. And I have 2 kids that play sports. Makes for a busy busy week.

4. Make 2 of my gym days before work. This (5 a.m workouts) should be interesting!!

5. Buy myself some new clothes!! Everyone keeps telling me I need to buy some new clothes that don't hang off me. I keep telling them I am waiting until it warms up a bit. It's finally warming up. I guess I can't wait much longer--or I will at least need a new belt to hold my pants up

Good luck everyone!!

You will achieve this and you want to know why, because you are a winner, and winners win. Good luck.

I've really fell off the wagon, and have been eating junk not going the gym or exercising and have gained 1kg ! So enough is enough.... Goals for April start exercising again, eat better, and lose 2kg
Good luck everyone, we CAN do this :-)))

Marilyn, i take the Vitafusion gummy vitamins (2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner each day) and they're really good! Not to gummy, great flavors and approved by my Nut 100%! I find them about anywhere here, Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens so I'd be surprised if you can't find there somewhere in paradise!!

[shrinkinggirl]

Danielle, I take those too and I LOVE THEM!!!
