If you don't mind me asking, why haven't you eaten fruit?

Gosh, I so want to do this, but I haven't really thought of any May-specific goals. My focus as of late has been to train for the 8K on Saturday. I'm really not sure where it'll go from there. I'll try to think of a few now...

1. Continue to eat well. Stay on track with my fruits and veggies (our April challenge really gave me the boost I needed).

2. Continue to control the eating-for-no-reason urges. I often have these and as of late, have been able to just have a cup of tea instead.

3. Limit the amount of junk and processed food that I eat.

I may have to add more as I think of them. I'll probably add a running goal, I just don't know what it is yet.

I forgot to check my goals last week. Oops! I'll have to remind myself this week.

1. Go to the gym at least 3 days this week. (Can't do the home workouts anymore. DD squirms too much when I try and do tricep work with her.

2. Continue to avoid all grains working towards the goal of completely eliminating them from my diet.

That's all I can handle this week.

1. Work out in some form 5 days this week- I have a final on Tuesday, but it's not til 5:30 pm, so I have lots of time. Then I'm done.

2. Drink an entire Nalgene bottle full of water every day (32 oz)- I know they've kind of disproved that whole 8 glasses a day thing, but it certainly isn't going to kill me. (Assuming I spread it out over the day, anyway- yeah, if you drink a TON of water all at once, it can be bad)

3. Try to eat more veggies and fruit. I bought some frozen berries at TJs that are great with yogurt for breakfast :)

Welcome to the board and thanks for joining our challenge! No fruit in 2 years??? Yes, we'll have to help you on that goal. In fact, we just finished a fruit/vegetable challenge. Well, you've picked a great time to start eating fruit again. Fruit season is just about here! Looking forward to getting to know you. Welcome again to Gym Rats!

My goals this week:

1. Continue to get in those fruits and veggie servings.

2. Try a new recipe.

3. Drink more water.

4. Go to the gym to lift weights at least three times.

5. Find the time to do a run of about 8 to 10 miles. Maybe Thursday.

i'm going to have to change things up a bit this week because i'm babying my lat. no swimming, yoga, upper body weights. so my main goal this week is to maintain the progress i've made WHILE healing my lat.


goals:


2 short runs, one 4.5 miler, one aqua jog (instead of swimming)


3x pilates (last week i didn't get to it at all - bad! with no yoga this week, i have no excuse not to fit in pilates)

My goal for the week sounds pretty pathetic next to all of yours but I recently quit smoking, so this one is hard for me. My goal for this week is to run 1 mile straight without walking breaks. I have never really done cardio until now and I have been a smoker for too long so this is a big deal for me. I also will do cardio four times this week and do streangth training with the trainer three times this week.

It's not laughable at all!
