Challenge Update

Each Friday until the end of this year I will be updating my progress with the two challenges I am participating in.




Refuse to Blow It Challenge:
I have lost 1.2 lbs since September 23rd, the beginning of the Challenge. Yay!




Hot 100 Challenge:

Goal #1: Keeping daily calories at 1,000. I am doing better than I thought I would. Four of the last eight days have been under 1,000. The other days were 1157, 1416, 1075 and 1365. I am trying to get more consistent, but am proud of keeping 6 out of 8 days "in range."

Goal #2: Continue to walk/run between 2 and 3 miles per day, with emphasis on increasing running distance. Not done due to helping paint our house for 8 out of the last 10 days. BUT, I did walk 2 miles one day, and have walked a mile several days. So all is not lost.

Goal #3: Watch food portions, and NO SECONDS. Done, with absolutely no problem.

Goal #4: Continue to drink 64 oz of water per day. Done.

Thanks for all your encouragement and support.

Doing good!!! It would be hard for me to keep calories at 1000 or under. I need at least 1200.

You are doing great, Jo. And I think you can forgive yourself for #2 - painting is hard work and you still managed some walks. Way to go! I like that you said you were proud about your week in food...it's nice to be proud.
