2018 Health & Fitness Series - April Check-In with The Studio participants - Lori and Kerin

Lori & Kerin - Dance enthusiasts maintaining their fitness with Jazzercise at The Studio

Lori’s Goals:
Weight goals: lose about 20 pounds of “winter weight”
Nutrition goals: continue to prepare food and meals in advance so she doesn’t have to eat bad foods in a hurry
Other goals: continue to go to The Studio at least 3x/wk

April Check-in:
1) Stats:
Weight: I’ve lost over 10 pounds and my knee doesn’t hurt as bad and I’m feeling much better about myself.

2) Did you meet your April goals?
Weight: To lose 5+ pounds - Yes!

Exercise: Continue going to class two times a week, if my knee is feeling good, and walking the loop trail in our beautiful valley. Yes! I went to class 2 to 3 times a week and did low impact.

Nutrition: To continue with food prep
This is been a good month. I really focused on watching what I ate. The food prep on Sundays has helped. 

3) What are your May goals?
Weight: I would like to lose another 5 to 10 pounds
Exercise: Continue with my Jazzercise classes and hopefully get in some biking on the loop.

4) What outdoor sport/activity do you look forward to most this season?
The activity I look forward to the most this season is just being able to be outdoors enjoying the sunshine. I like to go camping with my family and I enjoy photography and working in the yard.

2) Did you make your April goals?
Weight:  lose 3-4 pounds.

I have been to the gym 3 times per week.  Still trying for 4.

Nutrition: Continue to reduce carbs by: making sure everything I eat either needs to be low calorie (200 or less) or no carbs (except veggies!).  So when faced with a decision, it has to be low calorie or no carbs.
I reduced carbs.
