Goal # 1: Get up at 7am every weekday and do the 30 Day Shred or 30 minutes on my bike before work, and go on 2 mile or longer walks per week. This is totally doable, I used to do it in law school and I would have more energy for the day when I exercised in the morning. Plus I feel super accomplished working out in the morning.
Goal # 2: Stick somewhat to a calorie goal. I am not going to be unrealistic about this because recording every last thing I eat is a pain in the butt, so I may not record everything I eat every day, but I know damn well how many calories are in things and I know what I need to eat to keep it under control.
Goal # 3: Follow the budget that Brian made. No extra purchases. Stick to the list of necessities we need to buy before we move into our house. No more maxi dresses and Easter decorations just for the heck of it.
As you can see I didn't set a weight goal for myself, though losing weight is something I definitely want and need to do. If I stick to the first 2 goals, then losing weight should happen, I'm just not going to put a number on it. What are your goals for April? P.S. Happy April Fools Day! I hope you did something tricky to someone today, and if not, what are you waiting for?!
I think these may need to be my goals for April (and the rest of the summer) too!
ReplyDeletei need to get on the budget for this month. eek!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to talk myself into getting a gym membership. I prefer to do outdoorsy things for exercise, but sometimes I think it would just be easier and more routine to go to a gym.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! You got this. :)
I have been trying to get my lazy butt off the couch for two months, I have 2 yoga DVD's and 2 Shaun T's Rockin' something or other that I need to be doing. I know I'll have more energy and be more healthy if I do, it's just finding the energy to start that's the problem. Haha
ReplyDeleteomg lol I only approve of your workout goal if you wear that thong workout suit and IG it ;)
ReplyDeleteI also plan on focusing on my fitness this April. The cool weather had me sitting on holiday weight!

I would have a hard time getting up at 7 am, but I'm not a morning person at all! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBudgets are SO hard to stick to, but they're so worth it, too! These are great goals, girly!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this month!! I wish I could be as dedicated with the morning workout but... nope.
ReplyDeleteI hated getting up for morning workouts but I loved getting them out of the way. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you're looking at calories... very healthy! :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to start my days off with a workout too. It does give you so much more energy and I feel like I get more done the days I wake up and workout.
ReplyDeleteOh girl- I'm with you. I really need to get my butt moving in the morning. I do feel so much better when I work out in the morning...but I'm just such a lazy bum- getting out of bed is rough!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! What matters isn't the following off the wagon, but the getting back on the wagon. I too need to get back on the exercise wagon!
ReplyDeleteGetting up to work out in the morning kind of sucks, but the feeling of accomplishment you have the rest of the day totally makes up for it! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteworking out in the morning is hard at first but once it becomes a habit, you'll wonder how you can workout any other time.

Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteFollowing a budget is hard, but a little easier with a specified goal or number in mind. That's one of my goals as well. Good luck with all of your goals!
