Tuesday: A Challenge

Dear Blog World,

I am going to attempt to invest myself in another health related "challenge". 

I have signed myself up for quite a few now since I started this bloggie health crusade but realistically, I think I have only been able to succeed in ONE of them (that being my 15-day Bikram challenge).  This is okay because I want to keep trying anyway and I still want to dream big.

This challenge is a PAID program, which means people have to pay real money to participate.  I am not about to put up the moolah to do that, so I like to think of myself as more of a "unofficial" participant, on the fringes but still very excited and supportive of the program community.  I might not have the cash but I definitely want to use the challenge as personal example.

I got this particular idea from my favorite and most inspiring fitness blog: a dirty martini kind of girl.  She is always doing something exciting and unique in the name of health/diet/exercise.  I can't help but want to follow in her footsteps every time and I feel no shame in being a total copycat.  I only hope to do as well as she does!


THE DO LIFE CHALLENGE

A 12-week adventure to better health!

*Week One* 

January 1-7

5 Goals for January:

(1) Exercise 4 to 5 out of the 7 days per week for the month -- 120 minutes min.

(2) Cook at least 3 healthful meals/snacks or desserts per week.

(3) Review at least ONE GRE/Grad School item per week.

(4) Juice 6 out of 7 days.

(5) Apply to at least ONE job opportunity per week.

Push-ups:
I must choose a day (one per week) to do as many push-ups as I can and record my progress each week.  This should be fun... my guess this week is maybe 5.  I will get back to this one soon.

My favorite EXCUSE for not getting my business done:
I think time and stress are the biggest reasons I cannot get my big cheeks moving or my diet under control.  But yes, they are only excuses and I know I can do better for myself IF I plan ahead and quit the crap.

And finally,  a couple of things I did right today:

(1) I let myself rest when I needed it, even though I felt this unrelenting, but usual "pressure" to get moving this morning.

(2) I made myself a healthy breakfast juice with beets, apples, celery and carrots.


 WISH ME LUCK!  This is just the beginning.
