No Brain, No Pain!


If that statement is true, then I am one of the smartest people on the planet.  Okay not really but it sure FEELS like it.

I came up with something new (me and my big ideas).  I joined my work’s Biggest Loser contest to see who can lose the biggest percentage of weight by June 14th.  I then realized since I’m like 2-3 times (sounds like an exaggeration, oh I wish it was lol) bigger than most of my associates, I’ve got my work cut out for me.  And damnit, I will be the Biggest Loser somewhere!

So I’m kicking it up a notch.  The goal – lose 50 pounds by June 14th.  I want to be 375.  Oh how sweet that will be.  I can just taste it (sheesh I turn everything into food, even a dream lol).  And how will I do this?  It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

1-       Drink a hella lot of water

2-      Follow meal plan

3-      Walk 10,000 steps a day

Now let me just tell you that #3 is kicking my ass already.  My husband and I bought these FitBit pedometers which are awesome!  And then I get this hair-brained idea to walk 10,000 steps a day – starting yesterday.

And it may seem easy, but on average I get about 3000 steps a day  normally lol.  So yeah, I’m kicking up a whole freaking lot of notches!  It’s about 3 30 minute workouts a day to get it.  That’s a lot for me ya’ll.  So yesterday I was with the trainer so that was somewhat easier.  I got in a bunch of steps before she came walking as a warm-up.  Then she had me walk up and down a big hill 7 times.  Then I did 30 minutes on the treadmill after that.

My plan for today:  I already did a 30 minute workout.  I’m going to take Sammi on a long walk @ Jordan Parkway and then do whatever I need to after that to get 10,000
