February Sly Fitness Challenge
Viking:
Game on!!!
Just want to get a fitness activity into my daily routine and continue on the healthy eating changes.
Seems like a load of you I had a few weeks of a bug going round so January wasn't as succesful as I'd hoped for.
Day off today and have done 8 mile on the exercise bike, not a massive amount compared to some but it's progress, hope to get a second sesh this evening.
JT16:
Gonna make a post so maybe it'll keep me motivated.
Trying to reduce my mile times, no real goal other than to clean them up. Currently running two ~6 minute miles every other day followed by three 7-9 minute miles, looking to bring all five to sub-7 minutes.
As soon as the snow clears, I need to resume cycling on the days I'm not running.
My current plan is to drop my body fat back down to 5-7%, currently around 9% according to YMCA test and around 13% according to Navy, so I'm guessing I'm 10%ish. Originally increased my calories to put more muscle in my chest and obliques, definitely did that but never went back to my lean diet. So now the plan is to do just that, currently on day 4 of restricted calories.

I'm with ya, hoping posting it makes me more committed...
I'm just getting over the dread virus/thing that's going around. So I've been a bit of a slug.
I like the idea of setting monthly goals. So for Feb:
* Eat at least 3 times a day. I'm terrible about eating regularly and then tend to overindulge in one huge daily meal. Crap for my metabolism and energy levels.
* Walk somewhere a minimum of once a day instead of taking the subway/bus, in addition to walking the dog often enough so she's worn out at the end of the night.
* Increase the percentage of protein in my diet. My body loves protein and hates gluten. I did Atkins a decade ago and while I don't want to do something so extreme/faddy, my whole body is so much happier when I cut back on the grain and eat more protein.

I've been reading a lot into the whole grain thing recently and have decided to try simillar and cut it out of my diet, only really started this weekend so trying to give it a couple of weeks to kick the cravings!!

Wow, we've got a hive of activity going on here, I love it. Hopefully everyone can squash their bugs and get right into smashing their respective goals. It's great to see so many of you keen to start making a change!
I wish I had you all around me when I set out on my fitness trek a couple of years ago, instead of having to start the trek out alone. The best thing I did though was to drag a mate along to the gym with me. It's amazing the motivation you can get out of it, because you don't want to let the other guy/girl down.
Welcome back to the crew Ty, it's great to see you back here setting goals again!
Lets make this a great month to get get fit!
