Why "Weight"? 100 Day Challenge

Day 1 went pretty well. So well, in fact, I'm sitting here with achey calves and shouders from my double workouts yesterday! :laugh: It's all good -- best cure for soreness is to get moving again, although I might go a little easier today.

Goals:
1. 10-12 cups of water (got in 8 or 10 yesterday, but I think I'm retaining fluids -- either due to TOM, my heavy workout, or both.)
2. 30-45 minutes easy-moderate cardio
3. Finish the housework + put up Christmas decorations

Need some help ladies having really bad eating today we had a surprise office party and a little taste of this and that turned into full blown cheating.:(

Try not to beat yourself up about it, that's one of my biggest challenges too- all the parties and reasons for eating we are faced with! Just continue your day with your goals in mind and don't focus on that one slip up, tomorrow will be better. =] If you have time maybe add 10-15 mins of extra exercise to your day- that makes me feel better after eating bad, and then the next time I remember how much longer I'll have to work out if I make bad food choices. Hope that helps!!

Day Three.

Day two ended with no exercise, AGAIN. But because I only ate about 12oo calories...didn't want to burn off more if I wasn't gonna eat them back.

Finals are over. My brain can finally rest. & I'll have time to do things that make me happy. Like working out. (:

Personal challenge for the day...getting through work. I don't. Feel like. Going.
Health-related challenge for the day...no fast food. Because I'm craving it oh-so much.

Happy Friday.

Day 2 went pretty well; I didn't get in a "workout" because I was still very sore from the previous day (I think I over did it, just a bit) and wanted to give my body a chance to recover. But I did do about 2-2 1/2 hours of housework, including a ton of vacuuming, so I wasn't completely inactive either.

Day 3 goals:
1. Do a 30 minute workout
2. Keep getting in the water (got 10 cups yesterday)
3. Finish the last of the housework (bathrooms, hard floors, shampoo carpets, put away clean laundry)

Oh, I didn't think we'd be checking in every day! Sorry about that. I thought perhaps maybe every ten days or something. Lol. I haven't had much time to check back with any Message Boards because of finals next week. Anyways...

Day 4... I think.

So, in the past week (or I guess four days if I go by challenge standards) I haven't been over on calories or anything. MFP has me set at 1200, and it's practically impossible not to go under or over. I choose to stick around 1100-1150. Trust me. 50 calories doesn't really make a difference and put you into starvation mode.

Exercise has been going good too. I've been using the Biggest Loser for Wii game. It's harder than you think. I burn anywhere from 500-700 calories in an hour, and it doesn't even seem like an hour -- it goes by soooo fast. The game, however, only schedules workouts every other day. I've been doing Leslie Sansone walking DVD's on in between.... And, of course, Friday was my day off.

Today was my weigh-in. I obviously did perfectly fine last week, because I lost 3.8 pounds! It definitely makes up for the fact that I didn't lose ANYTHING the week before. Ugh. Looks as though everything's back on track.

If anything, my big problem this week was snacking. I was just so damn hungry all the time! (Perhaps because my lunch sucks, )I had to limit the snacks though, because I knew that I wouldn't have any calories left for dinner... LOL.

Day Four. :0

Yesterday went surprisingly well in the food department, though I still didn't exercise. I guess since my university's gym is closed, I feel like I have to really force myself to do it at home. I want to jog, but I'd really like someone to jog with me. 8(

Blahhh.

But today.

Non-fitness goal: To get another web design gig to add something to my portfolio.
Fitness goal: EXERCISE. omg, EXERCISE TODAY, MISSA. GEE.

That is all. Hopefully I WILL quote this post later with end-of-the-day results.
