Realized I should add more info to make my goals more realistic and my progress more measurable. 1. I will keep a food diary (usually this is in my Notes section on my phone). After one week of following the plan, my reward is to treat myself to a movie. After two weeks, I will buy a new top. After that... we will see! 2. I will track the meters in my rowing workouts, again usually I do this on my phone. My goal is to reach 8,000 meters per week. 3. I will note on my calendar the days I go out walking instead of watching TV.

Hi Brianne--love your energy and your goals! Your goal about soda really hits me personally--last year I finally quit the stuff, after many (WAY too many) years of drinking it. It was truly not as hard as I thought it would be, AND I saved money! So I am confident you can do this. Thanks! Mckeedm

Hello all! I am new to Nerd Fitness and the Challenges. I am a 50 year old mother of a college-aged son who is trying to get back into some healthy habits. My goals for the 6 Week Challenge are: 1. Follow my food plan (I'm a fan of Dr. Furhman) more closely. I have never been a totally strict adherent, but the more closely I follow this plan, generally the better I feel. 2. Continue my regular work out schedule. Last year I finally found an exercise I love--rowing classes with time on ergs and interval training with weights! I usually work out three times per week and I plan to keep that schedule going. **I would like these two goals above to contribute to losing 10 pounds. 3. As for a side quest, my goal is to spend more time outside and watch less TV! Now that it is getting nicer outside, I want to walk after dinner two nights per week, rather than staying inside watching TV. This of course should help with the other goals too! I was so happy to find Nerd Fitness a few weeks ago--I appreciate that this site is positive and supportive of people like me who were not always so physical or "of the body." I'm looking forward to this journey with you all!
