"Marching into March with Much Motivation"

For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

 

Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

I made my goal of 10,000 steps today! Only worked half a day today and the other half, I was babysitting and played basketball with my grandson which helped me reach my goal. I know that getting more activity will help me reach my goals. 

Well done!

Hiked up a steep hill with weighted vest.

I had to have some work done on my truck, but couldn't hitch a ride from the shop where I needed to take it. So I put my bike in the bed and after dropping the truck off, I rode my bike home. Probably 2 miles, with ups and downs along the way. Man were my legs burning, lol. 

It's been a long time since I've rode the bike. I had to pump up the tires. 

Been getting my walks in and hitting the weights. Fixin to go do some body workouts. 

7 more days left in March - which is 7 more days to post in this topic and 2 more Monday night zoom meetings to get extra entries.

I was a little MIA this last week. S Corp taxes were due last week so I was scrambling to balance my books. And then over the weekend I didn't feel so hot. I think I ate some meat that was a little bit past it's best-by date.

went dancing for three hours yesterday. Day before that, hiked up the steep hill again.

Got a good workout in this morning before work. Maybe a tad over an hour. Backs and biceps this morning. 

I have had a scratchy throat today and maybe some congestion starting. If I feel up to it when I wake up in the morning it is cheat and triceps before taking Wednesday off.

Well Monday was a bust because I had to go out of town all day so I didn’t get to walk. Today was a bust for weightlifting because I’ve hurt my left hand and can’t put any pressure on the palm of my hand.
Worked all day today tearing down saddles and cleaning them and buy the end of the day my right hip was hurting so bad that I had to use my cane to walk. It’s been a miserable evening.
I’ll see if a good night’s rest brings my hip back to normal and maybe I can get a walk in tomorrow.

^ ever try chondroitin?  My dad says it helps with the joints in his fingers.

I did many moons ago and it did nothing that I could tell but I was very unhealthy back then. I might need to try it again now that I’m better.

I'll be adding up the entries soon. Maybe we will do the drawing on Monday's Zoom call. 

We need an April theme, or an April-May theme. Like "Spring to Success" or something similar. We could add a few things in there, carb goals, water goals, step goals.

What do you think?

I failed my march goal, but Im happy cuz Im at my lowest weight in a long long long time. thanks carnivoretalk!

Nice work everyone. 

I hit well over 10,000 steps on Mon-Tues-Wed, lifted each day and then lifted again this morning after night shift. 

I gained weight this month but not all that surprised as I was eating like mad and got off track with protein and fats. I'm slowly easing away from the weight being meaningful each day and it landing where it lands. 

All in all I guess it was a good month.

Congrats to everyone who put in the work.

I did ok. I was able to stay motivated to get moving. I was faithful to get my walking in except on really bad days. I didn’t hit the weights as often as I should have but it’ll get better as I get into a better routine.

"Spring to Success"

I like that idea. 

^  Longevity experts say lifting will do so much more for you than simply walking. If I had to choose between lifting or walking the choice would be simple.  I'm lifting pathetically light amounts right now but I'm putting on muscle. Since you are already at a good weight I encourage you to lift just a little. check out the longevity test on youtube and set those as goals.
