Okey Dokey peeps - the idea is, as usual, to list your goals and then check them off as they happen.

For me, I plan to do my sprints and run 5km 3 times a week, and train (either PT or do it myself) 3 times a week (plus my usual Sunday walks). I'll be starting tomorrow, so basically:

Erryn - 13 x sprints/runs, 12 x PT sessions, 4 x walks
 
Hey there :)

OK so my goals are

- Make sure to do a workout every day, even if it is a small one
- Beat some of my high scores on the wii fit
- Go for a run/jog (Asthma permitting)

Good luck with yours Erryn, yours sound much more impressive than mine :p
 
Happy New Year, everyone! A bit belated, but I've been busy so haven't had much time to get online.

My goal is to meet my fitbit step goal (5 miles) every day in January. So far, so good!
 
My goals:

Resist the bus and walk to and from work every day (4 miles)
Swim once per week
2 gym sessions each week
one big walk at the weekend (7+ miles)
 
Soooo - first session done!

Erryn - 13 x sprints/runs, 12 x PT sessions, 4 x walks - 1 sprint done, 1 PT session done
 
Walk/run done for me today. I'm going to start PiYo from today as well for 60 days to see how I get on. Unfortunately due to a few issues, I can't do any high impact jumping type stuff (although I'm keeping running - they can't take that from me!), so this is a way to get the same result from a low impact session.

Erryn - 13 x sprints/runs, 12 x PT sessions, 4 x walks - 2 x sprint/runs done, 1 PT session done
 
Well done, Erryn! :D

I've done at least 5 miles every day this month so far, so I'm still on track! I'd really like to do it every day all year, but I'm not sure it'll happen when I visit the in-laws. I'm lucky if I get a full mile in when I'm there!
 
Re-starter here! I've not done anything since November 2014 so I'm going to start off slowly to give myself a chance to get re-established with it all.

I pledge to do a barbell workout every day (except Sundays) at least 30 minutes if possible.
Start my weights off low but definitely add to it little by little
No more excuses
Eat clean
Get the Wii Fit out & do some hula hooping

Starting tomorrow! Looking forward to sharing this month with you girls :)
 
Welcome, SJB and LittleHistorian! :)

Argh! I somehow hurt my foot. Not while walking, while just standing next to my bed. Going to rest it a bit (booo!) and elevate it and all that good stuff, since I don't want to make it worse. If it doesn't feel better by Monday I'll consult my GP. If it knows what's good for it, it'll feel better.
 
Thanks Princess! Sorry to hear about your injury, what a nuisance. Could you not still do some upper body exercises, even whilst sitting down? Hope it gets better asap
 
Wowee! This thread has picked up - excellent stuff! So good to see that everyone is being active. Well done to all! I outdid myself with my sprints yesterday - and indeed with my whole workout. I managed to do loads more than I thought I could, so I haven't lost all my muscle over my holiday, huzzah! :D

Thought I'd do an easy cut and paste synopsis so that everyone can add to their success as the month progresses:

Erryn - 13 x sprints/runs, 12 x PT sessions, 4 x walks - 3 x sprint/runs done, 2 PT session done
AliceLouise - Make sure to do a workout every day, even if it is a small one, Beat some of my high scores on the wii fit, go for a run/jog (Asthma permitting)
GrumpySpacePrincess - (5 miles) every day in January - 8 days done so far
SaraSlimmer - Resist the bus and walk to and from work every day (4 miles), Swim once per week, 2 gym sessions each week, one big walk at the weekend (7+ miles)
SJB - Run 40 miles in January plus 20+ sessions of Kettlebells - So far 4.53 /40 miles & 5/20 KB workouts
LittleHistorian - barbell workout every day (except Sundays) at least 30 minutes if possible, Start my weights off low but definitely add to it little by little, No more excuses, Eat clean, Get the Wii Fit out & do some hula hooping

GSP - so sorry to hear about your foot. :( How is it today?Fingers crossed it will soon be healed (pardon the pun!) so you can get back into doing what you love doing best - exercise! :D
 
Thanks, Erryn! It's feeling a bit better today, but I'm still going to rest it to be sure it's OK. Just going to walk to and from the supermarket and leave it at that. But I'm definitely going to do a seated workout as well! It'll be a nostalgic experience for me. I used to do a lot of seated workouts when I first started out and was building up my endurance. :D

So I'm obviously not going to meet the goal I set, but that's OK. I'd rather the foot get better so I don't have an even worse setback. :)
 
GSP - it is an absolute nightmare when injury gets in the way of training but as you say, it it so important to look after it so it doesn't get worse. I had a nightmare end to last year with various bits and pieces happening so completely sympathise. Here's to a quick recovery!

Sara - the snow definitely might prove difficult to wade through! I'm heading to the gym tomorrow myself for the first time in god knows how long as my trainer (who normally comes to me) can only keep working with me until the end of January. My gym has a creche so I want to get my DD acclimatised to it in good time to start heading in regularly come February, so tomorrow morning at 9:00am we'll be in there sweating it out!

AFM - just finished my PT session for the day. I'm amazed at how strong I've managed to stay despite not training for 7 weeks! It's really given me a boost.
