Spring Into Action Weight Loss Challenge

So much of our time is spent focused on what we eat. It is so beautiful outside right now, so I want to shift my focus to moving!!!! I am challenging myself and anyone who will join me to commit to "Moving More in March"!!! We will still measure our success in pounds, but instead of sharing what we ate each day, lets share what activity we did to move those extra pounds!!! The challenge will begin tommorrow 3/18/08 and end on 4/24/08. i know this is a little over a month, but this date is my 6 month bandiversary and I want to be down 60 pounds by that day!! COME JOIN ME!!!!

Moving on to a better me!!

I am not good at the charts, so if anyone want so improve on it feel free!!!

Just copy the most recent one, make changes and pot it!!

So far today... 30 minutes on the stationary bike, and just got back from the gym I went 2 miles (30 minutes) on the treadmill alternating 3 minutes of running with 1 minute of walking plus warm up and cooldown. Feels so good to be active again.

Okay, I haven't weighed in a few days and I am not going to until Monday. But I joined the gym yesterday and I started this morning. I did a 10 minute warm up on the treadmill, then 45 minutes of strength training (arms, abs, and legs), then 30 minutes on the elliptical. I feel really good today, tired.....but in a good way. I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow, but I feel really good today, lol.

Okay, I'm taking a break from exercising this weekend. I'll start back on Monday. Yesterday I went to the gym and did 15 min on the treadmill, and 30 min on the elliptical. My arms are really sore from the strength training on Thursday, so hopefully by Monday they won't be.

Renewed, you are doing so well! I've really gotta get serious and start losing again!

This new diet plan hopefully will help us all get back on track. I am training for a 5k and am entered in a weightloss challenge at our gym. The prize is $500.00. That's pretty good incentive. Georgia, you have been such an inspiration to me. This is a journey. There will be ups and downs. Your ticker shows lots of ups!!!! You rock!!!

Thank you Renewed! I am trying to get a fill next week, so that may mess up the diet plan a little because I will be on liquids for a few days if I get the fill. No biggie though, I'm still gonna start on Monday as originally planned and take it from there. I'm excited about this and I hope it helps us both. Keep up the good work girl!

Oh, good luck with your challenge! I hope you win!

Welcome luvin, the more the merrier!!

Jenny, hang in their. I always gain a little when I start exercising, and then the pounds start dropping off.
