Goals for March

Hey ladies! Today in the MLFC group, some of us were posting our goals for the month of March. I posted mine, but I'd like to expand on them a little here on the blog.

-GET DOWN TO 150 LBS-

To get down to 150 lbs in March, I will need to lose 5 lbs. That is a pretty reasonable goal for a month, and I am really hoping that my body will cooperate so that it will lose even more weight. I would love to the 140s this month! :)

-MEASURE & WEIGH MY FOOD-

I have a food scale. I have not been using it though, unfortunately. I have been guesstimating with measurements, weights, and serving sizes when I prepare my meals. In order to see the 140s, I know I need my calories to be accurate when I log them on MFP.

-BODY REVOLUTION-

The Body Revolution schedule says six days per week. So I will do six days per week. Just like it says! And I'm going to try my best in every workout. I want to see what these workouts can really do for me (my body), and half-assing it won't show me that.

-COUCH TO 5K-

I started Couch to 5K on Wednesday. The schedule for the program is three days per week, and that's my plan. While hubs is at Crossfit on MWF, I will do Couch to 5K. I can already tell that my endurance has improved since the last time I attempted to do this program. That made me pretty happy! :)

So there are my goals for the month of March. I'll update y'all at the end of the month on how it went and my new goals for the month of April. What are your goals this month?

Weigh-In Wednesday

Linking up with Erin & Alex this week for weigh-in Wednesday! Go check out all the other blogs! :)

This week, I weighed in at 157.2 lbs. So I am down a few ounces, but not as much as I would have liked to have seen.

I've been failing miserably at following the Whole 30, but I am still following a Paleo diet. Over the past few days, I've been paying attention to the macronutrients of the foods I'm eating on MFP. I've been OVER on carbs every. single. day. So I'm working on that! It's one of my goals for the coming week(s).

I've been doing great with my workouts though! I even started with added cardio today! While the hubs was at Crossfit tonight, I did my first day of Couch to 5K... that's in addition to the Body Revolution workout I did this morning. I'm gonna keep doing that on hubs' Crossfit days (MWF)!

Starting next week, I'm going to start doing my weigh-ins on Sundays or Mondays. I'll still post my results on Wednesdays, but I'll be doing the actual weigh-in earlier in the week. The reason for this change is that I've noticed a trend with my Wednesday weigh-ins: my weight is always higher because, by Wednesday, I'm already sore from the workouts earlier the week. Sore muscles = water retention.

How did your week go, ladies?
