1/100 Days

ON THE ROAD AGAIN……

Ok so I'm sort of laughing at myself when I think of HOW MANY programs I have started in the last few years. How many times have I blogged something like "Its day 10 of 300….". My friends and family must be shaking their heads or laughing secretly…….:Sigh:

I will accomplish this! For once I will finish something that I started. I know this weak body can do it. It may be crying right now. It thinks it likes being all jiggly wiggly, but really it doesn't! THE SKINNY GIRL IN ME HAS BEEN BEGGING TO GET OUT FOR YEARS NOW!

Already I feel better emotionally and physically. I'm a little sore already actually, but I just feel such a sense of accomplishment and excitement. Its fun to be doing a contest or program. Stupid that it takes something like that, but focus on your strengths and run with it, what else can you do really?

So this morning I worked out with Lisa (love you girl!) and I'm happy to say it is almost noon and I have 4808 steps thus far so I'm happy about that. Boy this is going to take a lot of working out, but I really need it. I really need this in general. And I'm so excited that Adam is doing it with me.

I always think that its just me who needs help, but when the doctor examined Adam when he was like 180, she said he could lose a little more even (which surprised me, I think he is fine at 190 really). And now he is 221. At his heaviest he was 264ish or maybe it was 280 (sorry hon can't remember), so he is well on his way to getting to that weight again. I think its important for his health as well, so I'm excited to see him all motivated about this too and I think we can really help eachother. WE CAN DO IT. lol

I think this program is just what we need to jump start our system.

I'm so stoked! I'm not going through Diet drink withdrawal quite yet so that is good. It was weird not getting a Diet Pepsi as I usually do every morning (and throughout the day lol). But I grabbed a couple of waters and I'm doing the Crystal light thing. I figure I will do that during the day and then at night I'll have lots of plain good old fashioned water.

Tonight after working out again (lol) I'm going to make our cute little posters. Good grief I'm a nerd!!!!

GOOD AFTERNOON……

4:46 PM

Why did some mothers not teach their sons good manners? (Or perhaps they did and some men don't listen). Here I was leaving work and my hands are full...I'm carrying this super heavy bag and this old guy is coming in right at that moment. He looks at me, comes in and lets the door just close. Seriously! I had to bite my tongue from saying....'Thanks' I almost wish I did!

 

Anyway things are still going good. There is a Diet coke in my fridge and tons in my trunk but I'm not really tempted and I don't have a headache. You know its never the first day that is difficult with these things. Oh the excitement of starting something new!

8:56 PM

Holy cow I am so exhausted! Adam and I just went exercised. He didn't want to go to the gym so we went to Jordan River Parkway and went walking. Holy cow I'm seriously so tired. I am so proud of myself!

 

And just how many steps does Holly have? 12,194 so far! Oh yeah baby. I probably won't get much more than that tonight cuz I am sitting here on my butt the rest of the night lol.

 

Tomorrow I'm not working out in the morning so we are going to walk longer tomorrow night and start earlier. Wow this is some commitment. Why did I start this again? Lol it will so be worth it

 

10:20 PM

Oh my gosh I am so grouchy right now! My back is feeling funny……….gonna go hit the sack!

FINAL STEPS….

12,314 Oh yeah baby!!!!! I SERIOUSLY ROCK (I mean its Day one people)

10,000 Steps for 100 Days

So Adam and I are starting this program tomorrow. Craziness! I can't believe that we just thought of it a few short days ago, and now we are doing it!

The real crazy thing is that I CAN'T HAVE DIET COKE. Well I D-E-C-I-D-E-D to not have it. You might be thinking......am I out of my mind? Hell yes!

I just need something. I know its stupid but just eating right and exercising just doesn't motivate me. For some reason I think I have to be doing some program or something like that. I need a project to keep me motivated.

So I bought some posterboard and we are going to weigh every week. We will track every day that we do the 10,000 steps which will be every day damnit! And then we will track our weight. Adam and I are both doing this which is awesome! I'm excited to get his help and support. And it will be tough.

That is a lot of freakin steps people! Even days I went to the gym I didn't get it. When I tried to get that before I think it took like 1 ½ hours working out or 45 minutes and then a couple of walks during the day. Our Saturday cheat is going to be cut in half! And did I mention I'm not having Diet Coke!!!!!!

RULES:

• 10,000 Steps Daily (EVERY DAY) for 100 days
• ½ Cheats on Saturday night only
• 8 glasses water daily
• NO SODA POP (sad really)

REWARDS:

• $100 if 15 pounds lost
• $100 if we do 10,000 steps daily

Oh and I got a heart monitor which I'm excited about.

69 = Heart Rate
Max Heart Rate = 185
69/185 = 37% Relative Heart Rate

My Fat Burning Target Zone = 102-120

10,000 Steps Daily

We just went camping and it was a total complete blast. But I have never felt so fat in my entirely life! It was so hot and I was so miserable I barely moved and then ate all this fattening food.

And it tasted good, but sometimes it gets to the point where you don't even enjoy it as much. Its like you can feel yourself getting fatter or something. Sucks!

Its like there is always some excuse with me-first it was my weekend trip and now the camping the week after. Sheesh!

Well Adam and I are starting a thing were for 100 days we are going to walk 10,000 steps each day.

Just need to buy him a pedometer. I'm excited about it actually.
