Alright buddies, I know you've heard this before, but it's time to hit the reset button yet again. My 100 Day Challenge is starting today and I can't wait to see what happens!
A little bit about where I've been...First, I finally got around to reading the Obesity Code. The evidence presented by Dr. Fung is so compelling! The one thing I feel he missed the boat on was how to actually break the sugar addiction though. That is my biggest crutch by far.
I also had a total epiphany about the damage that I do each and every weekend at my parents house. Whoooweee! I consumed more than 3,400 calories in ONE day without even indulging in anything special. (I actually ate only about half that when we went out to eat the next day!) Moreover my favorite breakfast that my mom makes every weekend morning comes in at 1,150 calories ALONE. This is the missing link. I bust my ass 5 days a week at my house. I lose every single time I get to spend a weekend there too. And then I undo it all within the 48 hours I spend with them. I cannot eat like them. It's not the planned cheat meals that derail me, it's their 'normal' way of eating. I knew I always ate sweets there, but this is just disgusting. This also made it harder and harder to get back on track come Monday and led to my most recent downward spiral so I have been very firm in telling them of my plans and asking them not to buy me junk anymore.
And last but not least, I've been under tremendous stress between work, my caregiving duties and my never ending to-do list to the point where I'm in a constant state of anxiety and am waking up from the panic attacks. I've never been one to do well on little sleep and I'm just feeling absolutely awful!
Now to where I'm headed...You may remember my company's 100 day step challenge and it's kicking off today. There's tons of support and I thought it would be a good time to go all in so I have coined the campaign #100daystoonderland and here are my 'rules':
1. 60 active minutes/at least 7,500 steps per day
2. 5 workouts per week
3. limit weighing to: day 1, 25, 75 and finish
4. average 7 hours of sleep per night
5. drink 64 ounces of water per day
6. no sugar or soda
7. no restaurant food or cheats aside from holidays (5) and planned social events (~5)
8. average 1,200 calories and less than 100g of carbs per day
9. fasting Fridays (16:8 daily)
Easy: 220; Target: 199; Stretch:190
There you have it! Please hold me to it!
