2018 Health & Fitness Series - February Check-In with The Gym LLC Participants - Morgan & Jamie

Jamie & Morgan – work wives, gym-mates and The Gym LLC’s cheer squad:

Jamie's 2018 Goals:
Weight goals: to get down to around 150 or to a weight that matches the image of she has in her mind (starting weight: 164)
Nutrition goals: “Make more healthy choices than bad ones”
Other goals: 2 minute plank, get more toned overall

February Check-In:
1) Stats: weight: Lean body mass & Skeletal muscle mass:
After talking with my personal trainer, and owner of The Gym, Andrea, we decided to shift the focus of my goals. We aren’t going to weigh every month, and didn't at the end of February, so I won’t be able to get you those stats. Instead we are going to focus on “non scale victories” like my clothes fitting better and overall health, wellness & improvement etc.

2) Did you meet your goals for February:
Weight loss: lose 3 lbs?
I don’t know about meeting my February weight loss goal but I did buy some jeans that were a size I haven’t been since high school (17 yrs!)

Workout goal: follow the couch to 5k app & use 3 days a week:
Workout goal was met! I’ve been doing the app 3 days a week.

Nutritional goal: meal prep and stay within my daily calories. Track my food on myfitness app?
Nutrition goals, I did meal prep but didn’t stay within my daily calories every day and also didn’t track calories every day.

3) Goals for March:
Body/weight: To continue to have to buy smaller clothes and have my clothes continue to get looser
Workout goal: To attend 3 different fitness classes.
Nutrition goal: To track daily food intake every day.

4) Bonus question: What exercise/movement challenged you the most or made you the most sore?
Weighted, over head, squats were the most challenging!
