Nutrition & Diet April Health Challenge

[AeryFairy]

I thought we could start up monthly challenge threads for diet/excersise/nutrition. Every month, post whatever health goal you would like to meet in the thread, and then document your progress and get support along the way. It can be anything - a starting weight with a weight loss goal, aiming to eat less snacks, improving on a type of excersise - anything that you want to work towards which will make you healthier. You can have as many goals as you like.

I know it's not April yet, but March is pretty much done with and I wanted to start the thread before I forget

My goals:
-Weigh less than 12st
-Keep to 1600-1800 calories a day, with at least 60g protein
-Be able to skip with a rope for a constant 3 minutes

-keep weight above 8st10
-zumba once a week
-use my exercise machine for 10 mins 3 times a week xxx

Me too!

- run at least twice a week
- 15 minutes yoga or Pilates at least twice a week
- eat plenty of veg everyday
- have a smoothie at least twice a week
- eat clementines most days
- go for a walk if I'm tempted to nap on the sofa

This is all pleasure for me really, I don't know why it's so hard!

I'm so jealous of people who find this stuff fun

I work out to lessen my anxiety.; it's the absolute most helpful thing for me.

- Do Pilates 5 times a week.

 

[hungryraccoon]

Well I fucked up already but every day is a new chance & all that...

I would really like to get into yoga.

I haven't done Pilates, but did yogalates for awhile which kicked my butt. I do yoga 5-6 days a week, or I would be a much huger ball of anxiety and depression than I am. I also swim but not regularly enough.

I do Winsor pilates and they definitely kick my butt. I'm not a high energy person, so most kinds of exercise are torture to me. I find them great for my concentration, as well as my body.

Well I ****ed up already but every day is a new chance & all that ****.

Ah, but it's not April yet, so ****-ups don't count

 

[Freesia]

I want to do yoga too. One day....

I dont like horrible types of cardio. I like walking and swimming and zumba, but at a lower impact level. I love dancing. Im pretty uncoordinated though.

Didn't start because of anxiety, but I'm so fitness addicted at this point I get anxiety if I can't for a few days for whatever reason :/

I have to get back on track with my fitness and healthy eating so ....
My goals for April:
Lose at least 5 pounds
Eat a lot less processed frozen stuff and sweets
Eat MORE fresh veggies and fruit
Start taking my walks again and maybe join Planet Fitness

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Drink more water and bounce for 15 minutes in the morning, 5x per week.

In my mind I also do some yoga, even just Wii Fit yoga, ride my bike, and get back to hula hooping, but in reality idk if that will happen.

 

[ledboots]

Double post sorry

I'm sick! That makes things more difficult. I can still eat better though I'm sure.

 

[PTree15]

I'm a little late to the party, but it's still early April.
My goals for this month:
Lose 4 pounds
Consistently lift weights (3x a week)
Stay way from potato chips

I do plenty of cardio, but I need strength training and toning, especially in the upper body. I finally made an appointment with a trainer (we have a gym at work), so I will see what sort of regimen she kicks my butt with!

I've managed to bounce every morning this week. I almost didn't this morning, but then I thought of this thread.
