February Focus

Feb 03, 2009

I posted this on the TMB message board in response to the February Focus Challange for this month.  It is hard for me to remember what I actually put down later in the month so I wanted to blog it here so I can come back and look.  Helps keep me accountable!

Here we go!!
I am excited.  The last challenge had me drinking more water, eating more protein, taking my vitamins and logging my food.  All of those things have become a habit so I want to add to the list this month.  Obviously I don't want these other things to fall away so I will leave them on the list for this challenge as well.
February Focus Goals:
1.  100 oz water.  Better hydration leads to weight loss and is good for the muscles.
2.  Take Iron and Calcium daily (not together)
3.  Stay between 1200 to 1300 calories. 
4.  Workout 6 days a week.  Schedule looks like this:
      Mon:  Run 5 or 7 miles
      Tues:  Gym: upper body workout, partial lower body, core 1 hr on bike level 10 or higher
      Wed: Run 3 or 5 miles
      Thurs:  Biggest Loser DVD or Gym same as above
      Fri:  Yoga
      Sat:  Run 8 or 10 miles
      Sun:  Rest
5.  Run at least 18 miles per week.
6.  Stop late night snacking.  No food in my mouth after 9 pm unless I workout late and then protein only.
7.  Stay strong on the weekends.  I have been taking a weekend off from logging and exercise here and there.  Not this month!
7. Continue last months goals to take vitamins daily, get at least 100 g protein in, logging my food on myfooddiary.com daily.

I no longer have a weight goal.  I know somewhere in the 140 to 145 range is where I want to be.  There is no time frame on that because my main goal is fitness and if I will follow my Feb Focus goals I will be working towards that.  All that being said, my starting weight for this challenge is  165.5. 
Let's see what happens!

Good Luck everyone!
