If you recall last week I wrote about the 100 Days of Weight Loss challenge and hope you all had the chance to download all the PDF’s and possibly get the book as well. There is a PDF file that we’ll be looking at today. I will just share the basics and some of my personal additions.
7 Keys to a Successful 100 Days Challenge
1) Always move forward
Don’t think about the past, start new TODAY
2) Do what worked before
Were you successful with weight loss in the past? If so, share some things you did that worked before and be specific.
For me it was portion control, exercising more and eating out less. I am thinking about starting a food journal again and I would like to choose one more unhealthy thing to give up. In the past I gave up soda and Oreos. What’s next? hmmmm

Just wanted to do a quick check in and say I am healthy once again and back to working out! I’m so excited. Today was the 1st day back to the gym in 3 weeks and it was nice. Went to spin class and burned a wonderful 654 calories in 1 hr. 5 min. Last night I had what felt like a pulled muscle in my back doing dishes and I was so bummed. I did not want to miss spin so when I woke up this morning and was in total pain we whipped out the heating pad and I slept on that for about an hour and we were off to the gym. I did good and although it still hurts a bit I am going back tomorrow to start running again. YEA!
Will keep ya’ll updated on how the week goes. It’s been a crazy week with traveling back and forth to downtown Chicago for doc visits with my stepdaughter. She flew back home this weekend and posting might be intermittent for the next few weeks as she will fly back in town for more doc visits, procedures and surgery. It will be busy and I’ll most likely be traveling to and from the city quite a bit. If you are so inclined, please do keep her in your prayers! It would be much appreciated.
How did your workouts go this past week?

We all know that when it comes to weight loss, real life can get in the way and many times we fall off the wagon right? Well, Linda Spangle, author of 100 Days of Weight Loss agrees and has set up an approach that I think can help us all stay focused and consistent.
