    Ah, jeez. A typo in the title, and this thread is designed to get bumped for a whole month.

    :o

    :D

    Oh well. I'll get it right next month. ;)

    My personal goal for the month is to lose 6-8 lbs and remember to take vitamins every day...rather than the two or three times a week I think of them!

    Woohoo, I'm in again.

    If it's okay, I'd like to use yesterdays doc office weigh in as my starting weight and then I have another doc office weigh in April 1st. That's giving me a couple of extra days, but I trust their scales more than mine.

    Edit: I hope to lose at least another 8-10lbs this month
    Walking can be a real trip

    This month my goal is to lower my body fat percentage by 1.5%. This should get me into a size 32" pants. The strategy is the same as always: eat a lot, lift weights 4 days per week, and do cardio 5 mornings per week for 40 minutes.

    Good luck all.

    My goal is to drop 5-8lbs for the month, and get to the gym at least 4x a week.

    Did my 40 minutes of cardio this morning, and will do legs/abs/shoulders after work today. This week I'm not expecting much loss because I'm going out with my sister on Wednesday (will probably drink a bit), and I'm going skiing this weekend, so I'll be eating out a lot. But as long as I'm not ridiculous with the cheat meals, I should still be on-track for the month.

    I have to have a goal, I just don't know what, yet. I'm not sure I'll make the Cherry Blossom run April 6th as I've been a slacker. However, sit ups and push ups every morning would be good.

    Best way to get over that urge is to blaze another one :)

    Last week, I suffered a slight shoulder injury, so I missed 2 lifting days to recover, but missed no cardio sessions. I ate more than I should have over the weekend, but this week I've been fine in both diet & training. I think I still have a chance to reach my goal.
  • Brain of J.LoBrain of J.Lo Posts: 3,259
    I've been sick and I've lost about 3 pounds over the last week or so, but it's not from working out and eating healthy...it's just from having no appetite and hardly eating! So I didn't check in last week!

    I started working out again yesterday so I'm getting back on track. :)

    2 days to recover from an injury?! Minor or not...whoa...not enough. A full week is the recommended rest period for a muscle just from directly focusing on it at the gym.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    No, I missed 2 lifting days, but I rested the shoulder for almost 6 days. I hurt it on a Tuesday. Wednesday I don't lift anyways, then I skipped Thurs and Friday, then the weekends I don't lift either. So it was fine when Monday came.

    Definitely takes at least 5 days to recover.

    Monday, March 17 - 115 lbs.

    I've been pretty good (minus the patron margaritas). Cut back on the bread and desserts!
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
  • _Crazy_Mary__Crazy_Mary_ Posts: 1,299
    Well, I was really good for 8 days straight, but then fell off the wagon. So I'm leaving March weighing 118 lbs. Not bad AT ALL!!!

    I didn't lay off of the bread, pasta and/or booze this month, so I didn't lose any weight. Thankfully, I got really sick about mid-month, so I also didn't gain any weight.

    Phew. Could've been better, but it could've been MUCH worse.
