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

February Check-In:
1) Stats:
I’m down a couple of pounds

2) Did you meet your February goals:
Weight: down 5 lbs?  I’m down a couple of pounds
Exercise: get to the studio 3x/wk? I mostly went to class 3x per week, 4x if my schedule allowed. I did travel mid-month and missed some classes that I normally would have attended. I really don’t like missing class. 
Nutrition: I’ve had somewhat of a hard time sticking to my nutritional goals.

3) March goals:
Weight: my goal is to lose 5 pounds

Exercise: I’m hoping that the weather cooperates so that I can add some outdoor activities to my routine. 

Nutrition: I need to make better choices and watch my portions. It’s no fun cooking for one, so I make things that are quick to fix, not necessarily bad for me, but not hitting all of the food groups.

4) What exercise/movement made you most sore or challenged you the most?

The exercise I find most challenging are lunges, because of issues that I have with my knees. I have to be careful with certain movements while in class. This is VERY frustrating to me because I can’t move the way I used to. I’ve tried several different knee braces, but have yet to find one that gives me support and is comfortable. I’m hoping that I can  strengthen my knees by biking.

Kerin’s Goals:
Weight goals: Get to and remain at ideal weight of 125-130
Nutrition goals: Eat better, with a focus on consuming fewer refined carbs
Other goals: Fit into the pants that she has now,
Remain fit and active to reduce back pain from scoliosis as much as possible
Maintain core strength to counter issues associated with her V-back labor & delivery in 2012

February Check-In:
1) Stats:
Weight: Didn't track it

2) Did you meet your February goals:
Weight: to be down 5 lbs? Didn't track it

Workouts: Go up a pound in weights? & Did you make it to the studio 4x/wk?
February was an interesting month.  I had not been sleeping well at all for a long time and have had pain, and I found out that I have fibromyalgia.  The week after that happened, I got very sick with an upper respiratory something or other virus, and so I have only been back at the studio for any regular workouts for about a week.  In short, I did not go up a pound in weights, but I plan to in March.  I will make it to the studio 4 x this week.  I have already gone 3 times and Saturday I will go once more.  

Nutrition: to come up with a plan to limit refined & processed food?
My carb thing was to try to come up with a way to cut down on refined carbs.  You had suggested like eating half of what I would normally have each time or something like that.  I haven't done that, mainly due to worrying about my health in other ways, but it is again a March goal.

3) March goals:
Weight: No specific goal
Exercise: To go up a pound in hand weights during work outs.
Nutrition: To come up with a way to cut down on refined carbs.

4) Bonus question: What exercise/movement made you most sore or challenged you the most?
As for the bonus question, this week I have been really challenged by push ups and extended planks.  My shoulders in particular have been very sore from these.
