1. How has the week gone? Did you hit your goals? Were there any challenges? 2. What is your goal for the next week? 3. Any non-scale victories? Bonus: what are you focusing on or working on for the month of February?
P.S. There's possibly only 3 more of these for me until someone needs to take over maybe only 2.

1. I didn't walk on the treadmill. I'm done making it a goal lol. We did go shopping yesterday for most of the rest of the baby stuff and I'll be shopping tomorrow, so I'm counting that as walking twice. My eating was alright. I loosened the reins a little bit since I've been doing so well keeping my sugar within the acceptable ranges. Hearing that the baby is small and having lost a few pounds contributed too. But, my numbers have been on the higher side so I need to dial it back in. 2. Not overdo it baby prepping and straightening my house this weekend. The u/s nurse was worried I was in early labor yesterday so I should probably take it a little easier. 3. I put myself first and stayed home from work Tuesday so I could get better. I picked the wrong day to stay home since Wednesday was worse. Bonus - my goal is to try and keep this baby inside for the entire month. If my water wants to break at 12:01am on March 1st then that's fine.
1. I ran Sunday and Tuesday and boxed Monday and Wednesday. 5K tomorrow. Shin splints are a challenge. I get bored and run too fast - which leads to injury.
2. IDK! I kind of feel like I should back off running some - but I am running another 5K at the start of April and want to do it in 30 minutes or less.
3. Yesterday and today were rest days (bc 5K) and I really miss running or being at the gym. That's a win!
For February - I want to cement the routine and continue to trim down. My super skinny jeans now fit the way my skinny jeans used to fit and my skinny jeans are loose and less flattering.
1. Did my planned workouts, and didn't eat total crap. Counting it as a win. 2. 6 days of workouts, including 2 runs next week. I also signed up for a Monday night yoga class. 3. Yesterday, all the forces were combined against me trying to run - my hair tie broke, I had no headphones, and after I picked DD up and got my shit together, and piled her in the stroller to run, it started raining - but we went inside and I did a HIIT workout instead. Proud I didn't just give up. For February - my goal is to keep the momentum going from January.
1. It was a pretty good week, despite all the disease and pestilence in my house. 4 treadmill, 2 days of weights, and 1 day with a killer hangover. I knew it would be a tough week, so 4 treadmill days was my goal. Also, the scale is finally reflecting my work. I'm down 5lbs since Jan 2, 5lbs to go!
2. Next week I'm aiming for 5 treadmill days. I have a 2-day offsite, which means I'll be sitting down, locked in a room with no activity. Definitely need to get some movement in beforehand! Tracking calories is also tough in those situations, so I want to do my best there. w 3. My clothes are definitely fitting better than they were!
Bonus: I'd like to lose 3 more LBS in Feb. That will be tough, I think - v-tines dinner, DH's birthday, a few other planned dinners. I know it's not all about the scale, but I simply weigh too much. Even in good shape, this weight is too much for my frame, and I need to get it off.
1. How has the week gone? Did you hit your goals? Were there any challenges? I’m on track with my water intake and workouts. My challenge will be this weekend. We are going to my parent’ s house and my mom sometimes goes overboard foodwise (i.e. she has already informed me she has two different kinds of Ben and Jerry’s dairy free ice cream waiting for me in the freezer). 2. What is your goal for the next week? Not to consume two pints of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream 3. Any non-scale victories? I have been able to increase my weight on bicep curls Bonus: what are you focusing on or working on for the month of February? Trying to not be fixated by the number on the scale. I saw a quote last week I need to remember- ”Don’t sacrifice a healthy mind in pursuit of a healthy body”.
P.S. There's possibly only 3 more of these for me until someone needs to take over maybe only 2.
1. I didn't get in the strength training this week and I think I am getting sick. I ran this morning and I wasn't anywhere close to where I was at on Wednesday. Also might be other things. DS has decided to start waking up at night and then he only wants his momma
2. Get my runs in and consistently running two miles without walking or stopping. Also going for 3 miles in under 30 min
3. eh not really.
Bonus: I want to focus on meal planning and healthy eating this month. I am pretty good at breakfast and lunch, but need to figure out dinner still.
erinshelley21, I wouldn't mind taking this over. It will help me be more accountable to my goals.

1. I won a free strength training workout at my gym and I got a strength training session with my former personal trainer. She went over some really great workouts with me to compliment my endurance training and it was awesome. I got all my workouts in, which is good.
Food has been kind of good. I actually was loosing weight but then I weighed myself mid week and found I was back up and...I don't know I'm getting annoyed.
2. I've got to get food under control and...not sure. Honestly I think I'm training too much to loose weight actually. Unfortunately I'm not training with the eye on loosing weight, I'm doing it because it's kind of what I'm doing for fun and to improve my performance so...hmmm...
3. Sunday I had my duathlon and I placed 5th in my age group, which I think I posted earlier this week but it was great. And my average pace race each stage of the 2 mile run at under 9, and I ran the 2nd half even faster than the first. My bike averaged at 18 mph, which is great considering the last quarter mile of the race you had to slow way down and go through a parking lot. So feeling good about that.

erinshelley21- shopping is exercise for sure! Good job with your sugars!
I have nothing productive to add to these.weekly threads right now. Just hanging out to keep tabs on everyone and stay motivated.
1) Food was decent this week. I want to get back to paleo-ish. But bagels and cheese and ice cream keep making their way into my life. I also need to up my water intake. I'm 3 weeks PP and my recover finally feels like it's going somewhere. 2) I might start with some light stretches this week. 3) Nah.
Bonus - we just bought a chest freezer. I would like to focus on stocking that with healthy prepped meals.
1. Week was pretty bad. I was in a lot of pain (back/hip) most of the week so just getting through work was a trial. The good was I really kept the snacking down at work and no clients brought us donuts this week!
2. I want to buy a pedometer this week so I can keep track of how many steps I do at work.
3. Nah
Bonus-February is really a transition month for me. We really get busy and start working 7 days a week so being organized and getting good sleep is so important. Plus not catching the bug that is going around both school and daycare would awesome.
