From as far back as I can remember I have been overweight and have attempted one diet after another to try to become that skinny girl I always dreamed of being. I'm starting this blog in hopes of using this as my motivational tool to finally change my lifestyle and get healthy. Feel free to cheer me on, give me advice or criticize me if need be. I'm way tougher on myself than anyone else can be on me.

Hot 100 Challenge Goals Update
Steve from http://logmyloss.com/ is hosting the Hot 100 Challenge. The Hot 100 is a challenge focused on the last 100 days of 2010 beginning September 23, 2010. If you would like to join in on this challenge just visit the blog above before October 1, 2010 and sign up. You can also find all of the rules for participating in this challenge on his blog. One of the rules of participation is to set 3 realistic goals that you can try to accomplish before the New Year. Here are my goals:
#1....This was my own personal challenge anyway so I'm adding it as my first goal here.....walk 160 miles by New Years.
When this challenge started on September 23, 2010 I had already walked 17.8 miles of the 160 miles I needed to accomplish this goal by New Years. In the last week I have completed another 10.2 miles so as of right now I only have 132 miles to go to make my goal. I plan on walking at least 12 miles this next week so I know I can make this goal by New Years.
#2....Continue to eat healthy and exercise so I can lose 20 lbs by New Years.
Since I began this challenge last week I have lost 1.8 lbs and when I stepped on the scale this morning I was down another pound so I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to accomplish this goal in the next 13 weeks.
#3....Make it through the holiday season without falling back into old eating patterns.
The holiday season isn't here yet and its definitely going to be a challenge but I'm confident I can make it through without overeating.
So there you have it my update for the last week that wasn't so hard. Only 13 more weeks in this challenge and remember if you want to join you need to visit Steve's blog by tomorrrow and sign up. Good luck to everyone who is participating in this challenge.
Update: I just visited Steve's blog and he only needs 7 more people to join to hit 100 participants so if any of you would like to join now is the time. I would love to see him get 100 people in this challenge since it is called the Hot 100 Challenge. Good luck to you all.

ReplyDeleteIt is really motivational to set up a weekly or monthly or like I have a end of the year goal and try to accomplish it. I'm definitely going to hit my 160 miles walked by New Years if not even more than that and then I will set a new goal. Good luck to both of you on your weight loss.
Doing well so far.
