Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I already lost a pound. But that's unimportant. My workout kicked ass today. More abs, chest, and shoulders. Run a lap around the track between sets. Great cardio in that.
Is 110 or 102 an arbitrary number you chose, or is there actual muscle mass/body fat % amount behind it? I'm just curious.
Because I used to regularly weigh around 112 when I was partying and never working out.
When I workout, build muscle, watch what I eat, etc...my weight is around 118 and bodyfat around 22%.
I dunno...I'm barely 5'4, and I havn't been 110 in many, many years, although I look it when I'm in reasonable shape. Then again, I have the opposite of BDD, I always think I am slimmer than I am, lol!

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I think I need to 'fess up and drop out this round. I haven't done any exercise NOR do I anticipate any until school starts next week. And even though I've been eating healthy, my portions are out of control. I will start next week. Scouts honor!
I don't even care what I weigh I just want that tire that's visible through my tight sweaters to *poof* begone!

I choose 102 because I was 102 in high school for a year haha (only) and i'd like to get back to that. I like how I looked.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
So I ate more salad with salmon. My trainer told me to watch the salmon because it has so much fat in it. But I baked a huge one the other day, and havn't had anyone to eat it with me. And it was expensive, I"m not going to waste it!
Well, the kitties are getting some of it. Point is, doesn't salmon have good fat? Omega-3 or whatever? And isn't that fat supposed to be good for immunity and fighting depression? So if I have a slab of salmon over 3 days, what's the most harm it could do?
Time to google....

I chose 110, 'cos I really wanna weight 115. i figure if I over-shoot it it gives me a 5 lb buffer.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I want to weigh 120 in my workout clothes again by Valentine's Day. So that's just over a month to lose nine pounds. The way I'm going, I should be able to do it.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
Lose 2-3kg/5-7lbs of body fat, reduce my measurements by at least an inch or two all over and improve my fitness, though that doesn't necessarily have to be done within the month- I can be pretty patient. It'd be nice if I did accomplish it, though.

1. Lose an inch from my waist and hips (and my chest unfortunately).
2. Learn to eat clean, with 4 small meals a day.
3. Increase to 5 meals after one month.
4. 30 minutes of cardio a minimum of 4 times a week.
5. Weights 3 days on, one day off.
6. Learn two new exercises for each muscle group, and incorporate them into my weights routine.

Ummmm...today will be my cheat day then. :(

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I'm not doing so hot. I got a nasty cold, and haven't really been able to eat much, and haven't been able to exercise (except work) at all. Hopefully I can get past this in the next couple of days so I can get back on track.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
Back on track today. I've eaten well so far, and am going to get in some excercise this afternoon if I can stay off SW long enough!

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I lost 3lbs this week soley due to being too busy to eat, but hey, it's a start

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
The past few days I've done a hour of cardio every day. My personal trainer friend says that's what she has her female clients do if they want to lose weight. My eating is on track. I have a hard time getting enough protein, so I have to work on that.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
Today was good. Yesterday was bad, I ate Sonic. Tomorrow is legs workout. Tonight is clean-the-cat-litter-box. That always take a lot out of me!

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
Yay, fitness goals! My boyfriend is a personal trainer, so this past year he's switched me out of my stumped work outs of over done cardio with no weights, where I was also eating so few calories my body was just sticking and I felt horrible.
I've been eating great for a year, finally getting all my veggies and protein hehe. Also, I eat a LOT, so my metabolism has recovered from the dead slug it used to be finally, and I can cut my calories a bit so the weight drops fast.
Ok, goals;
I need to get my body fat checked, I believe I was about 24% last january, and I've gotten a lot of muscle and lost mucho fat, so until I get that checked again my GUESS is my goal is aiming for around 18-20%, think it'd look good on me.
My weight last I checked was 120, need to recheck that too, but I want to head for a slimmer 110 or so, since I'm only like five feet tall hehe. :p
Physical/skill goals: Still working on my free standing hand stands, I'm used to holding it tensely against a wall for two minutes, and I can hold it for a few seconds free standing, but I want to be solid. Eventually, I want to be able to do a back uprise into a straddle.
Also, I'm aiming for a muscle-up on my gymnastic rings, I can do them with someone helping me and taking off about 30% of the work, once I get one it'll be amazing.
Do you girls make a point of taking photos to track yourself? I find it helps a LOT to see the minuscule progress!
Ah, ok, so my current work outs;
Joint flexing/stretching for 15 minutes;
Then 5 sets of 5 reps of these-
diamond pushups
over head presses with 65 lbs.
kettlebell swings with 35 lbs. or 53 lbs.
Legs(these vary depending on my mood, but I alternate out deadlifts with 95 lbs or 145, box squats with 65, front squats with 65 or assisted one legged squats)
I practice handstands as I go, since it's skill at this point and doesn't exhaust me, and then after this which takes about 45 minutes usually, I do about 20-30 minutes of high intensity cardio, tabata swings or jumping jacks, tae bo, or if I feel feisty I drill on the punching bag.
So, every other day is this, the other days are just the cardio and flexing/stretching, and hand balance skill training.
My back looks better then ever. <3

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I went grocery shopping with the Boy. I had to go, we are out of coffee, which is unacceptable. I ended up buying 4 bags of mini rice cakes and stuffing my face with three of them....
whoops. at least they are low fat.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
By Chinese New Year:
*eat 5-6 small meals a day
*lose 5kg (10lb)
*get my body fat back under control (my scales only will calculate to a certain percentage, if you are higher you just get "error")
I need to cut this fat, to show off my nice shiny muscles.
Plus I cant bear another round of criticism from the family about my weight. Aunty has explained about my whole ED thing, but they just dont get it.
3 weeks from today.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I'm doing ok. I've lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks. My diet is a huge improvment from before, but it's still not great. I plan on trying to tighten that up more this week.
My workouts are also good, but not great and could be better. This week I'm on my period so was unable to workout hard, I just didn't have the energy. I'm working with this trainer 2 days a week for a half hour until Marcch 1st. My birthday is on March 8th, and I plan to be back in a size 3 by then.
Good things:
I eat breakfast on most days. Egg beaters and oatmeal.
I work out every day.
I eat pizza only 1 day a week instead of 7.
I am much, much more active now.
Bad things:
I crash my diet every day. I start off good and go downhill through the course of the day. Dinners are usually unhealthy.
I don't work out long enough. I need to do 45 minutes of crdio, but am only getting in 25.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I just bought a scale and I actually weigh 8 pounds less than I thought I did!
Which is great because my formerly supportive boyfriend who was supposed to be dieting with me flaked out and now its getting harder to stay focused when he orders pizza and wants to go to vietnamese restaurants where even the white rice is oily :-(
I'm only 3 pounds away from my first goal weight and 23 pounds away from my ultimate goal weight (that I want to be by the time school ends in May)!

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I've started something similar. Like britt244 I don't care for numbers, but I've cleaned up my eating habits with LOTS more fruits and vegetables. I eat 6 small meals a day along with protein shakes as my mid morning and mid afternoon snacks. I mix cardio and weight training 6 times a week. I also drink nothing but water all day long (except for the weekends....I'm a wine-aholic!).
-
Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
I was so good today, did an hour of cardio and everything... then for lunch I ate an entire 7" pizza with extra sauce, piled high with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, roasted garlic cloves, and artichoke hearts. It was delicious but that whole hour of cardio is going to burn that off instead of my thigh fat. Oh well. At least it was delicious.

Re: One Month Diet and Fitness Goals Thread!
