Day 1: 10 TO 30 POUNDS BY November OR BUST
So today we begin this challenge. I have said before I was a a little scared, but would it really be a challenge if I was not?
I started off right with a 35 minute decent speed walk today. I am not sure if it was really 3.5 miles/hr but it was certainly exercise and my muscles were/are tired. So it's a good start. I will actually be exercising 3 times my first week at this rate (fencing practice on Monday and Yoga on Thursday) which is good but I dunno if I will have time to keep that up in the following weeks. Twice/week I WILL do because I have NO intention of dropping out of the challenge. Anything more I will count as bonus calories burned LOL
As for eating, I am following my only rules. Mostly dealing with moderation in portions and pretty much everything else. This is based on the principles in Dr. Agatson's South Beach Diet, I just don't have the book out and can say I am strictly on Phase 1, 2 or 3
My goals are this. floor goal 13lbs by the end of the challenge this is the 1 lb per week required by the challenge plus a bonus lb to get me down to 250. It's a good milestone. Ceiling Goal is 28Lbs which would take me to 235. It will be simply awesome to go home to my parents for Thanksgiving weighing that much less. My mom has signed on here so she may or may not see but I think Dad would be happily surprised!! :)
I wanted to mark down something I am reading in a business/life coaching book called, The Greatest salesman in the World by Og Mandino:
from the Scroll Marked I
Today I begin a new life.
Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity....
In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. thus the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is- I will form good habits and become their slave....
Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not, for today I am a new man, with a new life.
Okay everyone let's do this THANG. May we all achieve our goals!
