Chevy_Smart's November 2013 Challenge

Major Goals:

1) To eat Pizza three days a week in November.

Also I will have at least four moderate servings of one or more of the following:
- Ice Cream
- Frosted Cherry Pop Tarts
- Potato Chips
- French Fries
- Cheeseburgers
- Donuts
- Chick-Fil-A Biscuits

---> A Special guest appearance of a Spaghetti-O sandwhich on white bread will occur.

2) In addition to the ice cream, I will fulfill my macro/micro/fiber goals by incorporating the following:

- Chicken breast
- Variety of green salads and raw vegetables
- Oatmeal
- Peanut butter and sunflower butter
- Olive Oil
- Eggs
- Bananas, Apples, Grapes, and strawberries.

3) to lose 2-3 lbs during the month.
I still have literally 30 lbs to go to goal. But I am treating this journey as maintenance already and just eating a "little less" and moving a "little more"

4) Fitness Goals

1. For the 19 working days this month Get up around 5;30 and get out the door to walk/run/go to the gym by 6:00 AM
2. Log 125 miles in the MYA challenge
3. Participate in the calories burned section of Coach_Simon's - Infinite Ambitious Possibilities Group
4. Do 5 sets of pushups 10 days this month and track
5. Do ab workout 10 days this month and track
6. Start to do leg exercises such as squats - Do at least 5 days
7. Run a 5K race formally or self timed without stopping.
8. Do two standard Heart Rate tests on Treadmill and stairmaster .
9. Log at least 33 stairmaster miles (out of the 125 for MYA) - hard earned miles .

Minor goals:

5) to help demolish the silly myths by orthorexics and food shamers.

6) to show that you can still enjoy foods you like while losing weight.

7) Will also periodically post my progress, random musings and pics of pizza, burgers, and other "fun" foods eaten in different locations.
