Okay, folks--we're about a quarter of the way through 2009, perhaps now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with the Get Fit Challenge and rededicate ourselves. ;-)
Drbloodaxe started this thing at the beginning of January.
The premise is simple. I'll post a weekly review diary around 10-11 EST Saturdays, wherein we all share our experiences over the last week in getting in better shape physically. Nutition and exercise are the most likely subjects of comment, but we want to know (if you're willing to share) your start weight and goals if you're trying to lose weight, or your BMI, or your starting exercise plan and goal, or however else you're measuring your progress. The more of us supporting each other there are, the more likely each of us is to meet our own individual goals, or so we hope ;)
Please note that this is certainly not the only running fitness or nutrition diary on site, only the newest. Be sure to check out Macca's Meatless Mondays, Saturday Morning Garden Blogging, Fitness Monday, What's for Dinner?, and Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies (h/t to plf515) among other fine diary series.
This is what I'd like you to do in your 1/4-yearly check-in. Tell us what your Get Fit goal is (a weight goal, a fitness goal, a dietary goal, whatever--the more specific, the better)--the what and the why, if you're up for it. Tell us your strategies for getting there. Tell us how you're doing. Tell us any changes you've made or plan to make in your strategies.
I also want to alert you to two things:
(1) SadieSue has organized a President's Fitness Challenge Healthy Kossacks team (team id 80214). 30 min of activity 5 days a week for 6 weeks earns you a certificate (signed by BHO!). Go to presidentschallenge.org.
(2) There's a Healthy Kossacks team at Spark People. Good place to track fitness/nutrition/weight goals.
