About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Weigh-in Wednesday

Fortunately, with the help of two liquids days between Thursday and yesterday, and some VERY small food portions, I'm down 3.4 lbs.

UNFORTUNATELY, though I wasn't home for weigh-in last week, I stepped on the scale once I got home and I was UP 2.6 from my last official weigh-in.

Fortunately, this means I'm still down 0.8 overall for this challenge. And my absence from the weigh-in last week was actually better for my team than if I'd been around to step on my own scale and report.

Unfortunately, because I'm only down 0.8, which is less than the average rate I was hoping to maintain for this challenge, reaching my goal is going to be quite the challenge.

Fortunately, my fellow A-Team members are very forgiving and encouraging! So now that I'm home, refocused, and working with my team...

...so let the butt-kicking begin!!!!

I like the results of my really hard work this week (especially that I started running again this last week) and once I get back into my sit-ups/push-ups/squats challenge ~ which, quite honestly, I'd kinda forgotten about since getting home from mom and dad's ~ I'm expecting consistently good results.

I may need to break up the 100/200/200 challenge a bit though, and focus on achieving one at a time instead of all three together. The thought of doing these 3 exercises for AN HOUR (OR MORE!) has me not wanting to do them at all! So if I'm going to stay motivated, I think I need to work on just one at a time. Will give this some more thought and be on track by next weigh-in.

Definitely break up the 100/200/200 challenge if it's going to make you stick with it. Revamp it so that it works for you.

YOu are doing great....we all have weeks when things don't go according to plan, but as long as you get back on the band wagon (which you obviously have) you are doing the right thing! Keep up the great work!
