I walked last night for 35 minutes, and tonight I did about 45 minutes, thanks in great part to my WW friend who is really into walking and puts up with my slow stride as I'm building up my speed. I didn't sling too much sweat on her, I guess, because she mentioned walking with me again in the future.
And today, just by chance, I came across this little item:

One of the requirements is that you post some goals. I'd participate in this even if there were no prizes, because I like this idea. So here are my goals for this challenge:
1. Lose 15-plus pounds by the end of the year / end of the challenge. I will modify this number if I reach it before the end of this time period.
2. Get more sleep. This will make exercise more appealing, because I won't be so sleepy all the time.
3. Start taking vitamins. Yes, I know I should have already been doing this, but I have never been good about it and haven't been doing it yet. Know of any good ones out there? I could use a suggestion for a multi-vitamin.
4. Make a plan for eating and exercising over the holidays and stick to it. This might mean I plan for a splurge, or it might mean I take a veggie tray to a party. Whatever it is, I don't want to lose control over the holidays. This challenge should help me to stay mindful of that as I celebrate.
I really hope you'll consider doing this challenge with me. I'm excited about this. It's my very first challenge of this type, and I am determined to see it through.
Found you through Steve's list on this challenge. Yay! Another fellow hottie! Your goals seem really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not taking supplements, but maybe I should. I've been getting a lot of headaches. Think I'll ask my Dr. bout that next time I see her! Thanks for the idea!
Congratulations on another 2.6 pounds gone - you are doing great, and weight loss will slow down a bit. But that is a nice steady number - and the fact that you are already 15 pounds down is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing the challenge - I think they really help in keeping our goals front and center. My only challenge is to run my legs off in anticipation of my first half marathon - that's my focus for the next two months. Yikes!
Hi Charlotte! Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your blog title. I also have a goal of doing better with supplements. It really is important. I'm really sensitive to multivitamins, but do best with the most natural ones. Food based are best, I think.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!! This 100 day thing is already fun.
Welcome to the Hot 100! Your goals are great -- maybe I need to make #2 a goal of my own. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, I **LOVE** that you are so determined that you will modify the weight-loss number if you reach it before the end of the year. YOU GO, GIRL, that's the spirit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement on my blog, too, it's great fun to be part of the Hot 100 community, isn't it?
