February Check-In & Taking on a New Challenge

Hey everyone. I know it's been a long time since my last monthly check-in but let's get started again shall we?

Weight
Highest Weight: 166 lbs
Current Weight: 143.6 lbs

Goal Weight: 130 lbs

I've been maintaining in the low 140s for a few months now and I really want to break into the 130s. I know my diet is not on point -- it is ever? -- so I need to focus on it a bit more. I am pleased with my body measurements this time around though because I saw some changes there, particularly in my arms.

So, onto the challenge...

I have followed Cassey Ho from Blogilates ever since I was in college and she was challenging herself to compete in her first bikini/figure competition. Since then she's done a few challenges with incredible results and the journeys are so motivating. She's taking on a 90 Day Challenge right now and I was feeling a little inspired to take on my own little February challenge.

For the month of February I am challenging myself to two things:

1. Incorporate more meatless meals.

I have been thinking about cutting my consumption of meat for a while now and I think this could be an interesting experiment. I'm cutting meat out during the weekdays and then will enjoy one or two meat dishes on the weekends.

We are also trying a new-to-us meal delivery service (Hello Fresh) that has fantastic vegetarian options.

2. 30 minutes of activity every single day.

I started the Peloton 5K program on the tread last week and it is keeping me motivated to stay on track. Today's workout was a 30 minute boot camp and my legs felt like jello at the end during the EMOM. Selena Samuela was out for blood with that workout.
