365 Days of Hell: 3/365

365 Days of Hell – Day Three

Recap:

My name is Holly Holt. I am a foodaholic (no applause please). I have been rejected thrice for the Biggest Loser and wasn’t chosen for Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition, despite my own “dramatic”life story and uber charismatic sassiness (I know, unbelievable!). But I’ve decided once and for all that it’s time for me to take matters into my own hands. I have tried a million program, diets, etc, but this time I’m determined to get rid of the fat suit once and for all through blood, sweat, and tears (preferably more sweat, less actual blood). My starting weight: 428 pounds. On July 12^th I started Weight Watchers. On July 16, 365 Days of Hell Began. 365 Days of exercising every day at least one hour, even though I’m a mother and wife, work full time, and go to school full time. No excuses!

Isn't it worth it for my adorable baby:

Day 3

EXERCISE:

I am SO sore today.  But that is a really good feeling knowing I’ve been working hard.  Yeah baby.

-Adam (hubby) is actually going to work out with me tonight.  Woot!
-I haven’t yet exercised today and it’s driving me crazy lol.  Gotta get it in.  Sheesh am I getting obsessed?  LOL
-Ok seriously that was the hardest hour of my life lol.  I did 20 minutes on the treadmill first with a high incline to make sure I was really sweating.  My body is so not used to this much, so I figured for the last 40 I’d do one of the walking workout videos on Comcast On-Demand. Holy cow just kidding that it would be lower impact.  It seriously kicked my butt.  I kept having to yell “I can do this” but had to modify a couple of things.  It really helped a lot that Adam was on the treadmill with me!
Big point though is that it’s much easier to do some during the day early in the morning so it’s not so overwhelming at night.

TRACKING: 

Checkmark!

FEWER CARBS:

Going strong still!  But I have to admit I wanted nothing but toast this morning but I stuck to lower carb options.  Not having NO carbs, but just fewer.

Reflection

Today I’m thinking soccer.  Not sock her (don’t punch the lady next to you please!), but S-O-C-C-E-R, you know the sport.  And if you don’t think soccer is a sport, then I will sock you lol. 
But anyway I miss it!  I played soccer growing up as a young child.  I played a little after high school and even a few years ago I played for a couple of years, as urged by my friend Leslie (you rock).  So I played even when I was like 350.  And it seriously kicked my butt.
Soccer to me is just so much fun.  I love the social aspects and the competitiveness.  Actually I don’t’ really know what exactly it is, I just LOVE it!  I MISS it.
I remember there was this one chick that always beat us, no matter what team we were on or she was on.  I fondly called her ‘soccer bitch’.  As much as I pretended to hate her, she was awesome at soccer and was very healthy.
I WANT TO BE SOCCER BITCH.  Is it my life dream, well no, but I just want to do it!  I think it would be a good part of keeping me healthy forever more.  And it will just be FUN!!!
I’m so excited for Sammi to play soccer!  Soccer MOM!
