Anyone up for some Fit February after Red January

Determined to keep some momentum
Not sure I'll manage something every day but want to keep up my half marathon training and need to get back in the gym for some toning and strength work
Think I might use this thread a bit like the red January thread to keep me on track

I managed 21 days of walking/running logged this month which I'm fairly happy with. Not as miles miles as January but have done my steps goal every day and have definitely been more active.

Have decided that I'm a going to sign up for a half marathon this year. It'll be slow and ploddy but feel that I need a goal of some sort.

Also managed just under 50km of walking and running in February
Holiday is booked and a half marathon to train for
I'll start a March thread

Bloody well done though @hobnobsaremyfave
I managed 21 this month. Out of 29 is not bad at all and so much more than what I’ve been achieving last year!
So I’m quite happy with that :)
Are we aiming for 24 again in March?

Another gym session done
Just when I thought I was doing well with my mental health have had a crap day with my anxiety
But I am certain that my MH is better in general so it was good motivation to get me there today

@hobnobsaremyfave you know what, I was just thinking that! I’ve not been very good at taking my vit D3 this winter, but I’m fine, I’m outdoors a few times a day with the dog, I run outdoors 2 times a week, I go to the gym quite a bit, it’s been brilliant.
The only downside is I need a new wardrobe, I lost 10kg, everything is falling off me. 😂

Well done everyone
Given that it's still winter and miserable I think we're all legends for keeping going
Couple of weeks more and we should have fingers crossed some more light and warmth
Think this will all keep the SAD at bay a bit for me

Run today whilst on holiday. I'm on Week 7 Number 3 of C25k so 28 mins running and I could of definitely of gone on so that's exciting.

BuddhaAtSea · 19/02/2020 20:38

So 16/24.

BuddhaAtSea · 19/02/2020 20:37

I did a body pump class tonight. I was off on Monday so I did body pump, a 7k run and a stretch class.
Tomorrow I’m going for a run.
Every time I stop exercising I just eat!!!!

I can see how this can become addictive definitely feeling better now
Won't be able to do as much next week when I'm back in work
Really clears my head though

Gym session done yesterday and today
Was hoping to get out and run but I am a wimp it has to be said.
Still plodding though and on leave this week so hopefully easier to fit stuff in

BuddhaAtSea · 15/02/2020 21:01

😂 I do a very physical job and the difference in my strength has been noticed by the boys at work, one of a sudden I’ve been lifting heavy stuff so easily!!!
Love it.
And yes, exercise is addictive. I don’t enjoy lazy days anymore. And it helps with my mood too:)

CantstandmLMs · 15/02/2020 20:26

@BuddhaAtSea definitely a habit now. So greatful for what Red Jan has done for my focus and health. Like you, was planning on outdoor activity today and by 6pm was feeling very restless (lazy day wouldn't of been a problem before!) so my partner and I did our own workout in the living room...he's also a red Janner so felt the same way luckily. We did our own HIIT workout for the first half then did some combat tracks and body attack on demand. Burned 800 calories in the end (I wear a heart rate strap) and were absolutely on the floor in sweat but felt good lol.

...noticeable difference in my cardio, stamina and strength now and I'm so happy!
