Get fired up for 100 Days of Weight Loss

March 8, 2010 By 5 Comments

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

Whittle My Middle with Turbulence Training

November 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The Whittle My Middle 30 day challenge (video included) over at Oh She Glows blog sounds like fun so I’m going to do my best to take part.  They started last week but my 30 days starts today.  I’ll complete this challenge the day before we leave for Jamaica so I’m excited to see what I can accomplish until then.  I am having more tooth issues but I am going to just do the best I can and try to not let it bother me.

I took measurements back on November 1st and will measure again on Dec. 17th. Sure hope to lose inches because that will give me the incentive to keep up my workouts while on vacation.

The Whittle My Middle challenge includes these exercises from the Turbulence Training program:

  • Plank
  • Side plank
  • Stability ball plank
  • Stability ball jack knife
  • Stability ball roll out
  • Plank rotations

Of course I might just go ahead and include my 50 stability ball crunches goal in there too.  I haven’t been doing those yikes!

As for my Weekly Weigh-In, I lost another pound!  So here are the stats

Last week’s weight: 236

Current weight: 235
Goal weight: 140
Pounds left to go: 95

Next Wednesday I don’t have plans to check in as we’ll be spending time with family for Thanksgiving so have a great week.  I am going to do my best to try to choose healthier food options AND smaller portions during our family Thanksgiving.

Are you doing the Whittle My Middle challenge?  And did you weigh in this week?

P.S.  So far I’m not meeting my walking mileage goals for the Pile on the Miles challenge BUT I am still working out and getting in as much walking as I can.  So although I’m not going to meet the goal, I’m still moving!

Pile on the Miles (POTM)

October 28, 2009 By 5 Comments

It’s time to Pile on the Miles from November 1st to Thanksgiving.  Will you join me in the challenge?  All you have to do is head over to Caitlin’s Healthy Tipping Point blog (one of my favorite food/fitness blogs) and read the instructions at the end of this post.

My personal goal is 50 miles! For me this will include in home walking (Walk Away the Pounds) and outdoor walking.  Elliptical and spin (cycling) miles do not count so I’ll be working out extra hard for November because I still plan to get to the gym for those workouts.

Sure praying that I don’t have to set up any further dental surgeries for the month of Nov. or I’ll have to withdraw from the friendly competition. But as of right now, I’m in.

Saturday, October 31st is the last day to enter so head on over to Caitlin’s blog to learn how to sign up for the POTM challenge.

Are you in?
