Bumping this one up to see if anyone want to join in an April push up challenge. I plan on 200 a day. What goal would you want to try to hit each day for the month?

It's one thing that I've been doing good with. Not eating sweets has helped me feel more energetic. I have been getting more balanced meals and snacking is non existent, also leading to more energy. You can do it, just need to meal plan and avoid those things you know you shouldn't have. Make it a habit and it will pay off for you!I need to get back on track with my diet.. I've been off the last week and a half and I feel like crap.

It's a lot easier with an entire pantry just a few steps away. But glad you have healthy options, and great work so far this year! Do you have a goal in mind you want to hit?I'm definitely stress eating, but I'm trying to limit it to healthy/ semi healthy stuff. Granola bars, nut bars, olives, raisins. E.t.c. I'm pretty pleased as we've been off work and trapped inside for 2 weeks and I'm still down 35lbs from Jan 1!
Thanks! I want to get to 215-220.(Currently at 235) I think for my height and width, that would be a healthy limit. Most importantly, getting off BP meds, and losing the pre-diabetic label from my doc. That's what started my weight loss.It's a lot easier with an entire pantry just a few steps away.

You are on a good path, so here's to keeping it going! Those seem like very good reason to be on this journey of weight loss.Thanks!

Its easy to fall into the habit of being lazy, eating what's easy or what you crave. With some direction, planning, and hard work you can get back to feeling better! Best of luck, and hopefully you can work towards your health goals this year!Threw in the towel completely. Zero weights lifted or cardio for exactly 1 month this Sunday. Plenty of golf.
It was nice. It was fun. Eating a lot and being lazy. Enjoyed it to be honest. But not a lifestyle I care to embrace for an extended period of time.
Starting at home workouts Monday, biking, jogging, core exercises.
Going to crush pizza, fries, bacon, tacos, ice cream the next few days until a grocery run this weekend with plenty of fruits and healthier food to eat.

I understand completely. Getting outside and riding or running is 100 x's better than indoors. It's probably because we were meant to be outside. I love feeling the wind, the sun, and getting some fresh air. Sometimes though, the weather dictates we stay inside, because I like the wind, but not when it's 30 degrees, and most of the winter month the sun isn't out here in Ohio But either way, glad you are contributing, and I'm sure it pays off for you come May in Utah!I absolutely hate my exercise bike, yet I really enjoy getting out there on the junky bike we have and riding around the neighborhood.
Weird how that works. That said, happy I'm doing it lately. Feels like I'm actually contributing to the THP Better You movement.
I feel like for me, it's more about actually feeling like I'm going somewhere, and seeing the progress.I understand completely. Getting outside and riding or running is 100 x's better than indoors.

Your legs went a mile. But the rest of you hasn't moved and is still staring at the same wall as when you began.I feel like for me, it's more about actually feeling like I'm going somewhere, and seeing the progress.
When I'm just sitting still inside, it doesn't feel natural.
Oh this was done completely on purpose. My original plan was just to take a week off and then all of the COVID-19 stuff happened with fitness center closures and I literally just said I’m going to give myself a month off and enjoy it. Which i have.Its easy to fall into the habit of being lazy, eating what's easy or what you crave. With some direction, planning, and hard work you can get back to feeling better!

I am the same way. I have a high end Carbon Fiber road bike that I love to ride... outside. I bought a Smart trainer that I can use with it inside that uses a program and TV to seem like you are riding outside. It evens adjust to make you feel as if you are actually going up or down hills. It's not the same and I've gotten bored with it so now it sits in the garage.I feel like for me, it's more about actually feeling like I'm going somewhere, and seeing the progress.

Not a bad time to take a break!Oh this was done completely on purpose. My original plan was just to take a week off and then all of the COVID-19 stuff happened with fitness center closures and I literally just said I’m going to give myself a month off and enjoy it. Which i have.
Monday I’ll get back into a routine.

The bodyweight and dumbbell workouts have been key for me. Added more strength training and I'm feeling good about where I'm at. Keep it up man!Been pretty good about staying active during this quarantine nonsense. Bodyweight workout, mobility, yoga and keeping my cardio up either running or doing stuff at home.
Looks like you took a good couple of first steps. Just keep at it and you will see the results! Diet and exercise will lead to a better you going forward! I've been doing a lot of dumbbell workouts, and they really work your entire body. I'll post up my routine later, as I've enjoyed it and its pushed me in my fitness routine.I'm embarrassed to say that over this last month I have almost completely ignored being healthy. I have eaten in an unhealthy way, I eat more than I need more often than I need to. I have also consumed a lot of alcohol. I am just about to an all time high weight.
I have decided to give Noom a try. Over the last few days I have been walking a lot, I got my mountain bike out and went for a short ride, yesterday I started with a simple workout plan from Noom, this involved light dumbbells, I'm actually sore from the squats and lunges.
Hopefully I'm back on track, I'm gonna severely limit the beer and booze for a while!
