Game Day!

Here we are - day 1 of another challenge in my life.

4% in 28 days.  So if I see 253.3 on August 19th, I did it!! 

I've gone ahead and logged my day in MFP and I'm just over 1200 calories. And then add a workout to that tonight, since I AM going to the gym, and it's gonna be ah-mazing!!! I went to charge my fitbit for a few before work this morning, hoping that it'd give me enough charge for day --- but no such luck. It still had no charge before I was leaving for work.  So I'll plan on starting to wear that tomorrow.  Guess that is what happens when it sits in a drawer for months :( 

Well, I'm not the best meal planner --- I was hoping to have a weeks worth of meals laid out, but I just have some ideas. Guess I'll take it day by day.  Plan the night before. LOL  That'll work.  I've already got dinner figured out for tomorrow and I think I'll stick to my planty shakes for breakfast for a while. Kelly introduced me to them.  They are for sure different -- but not bad. I added a banana and a teeny bit of PB to mine this morning.  A little over 250 cals for my breakfast.  Not bad to get my day going!  So my food diary/log is open to all my friends on MFP so be sure to stalk me.  If you see that I am not logging, call me out.  I need to log for all of these 28 days.  Weekends will be my struggle. I know this. I know me.  Make sure I get to the gym tonight.  And that I keep going.  I can't work out 4 hours a day like Extreme Weight Loss, but I can work out at least a couple hours a week!!  That along with staying within my calorie goals will only bring me good things.

Since I weighed in on Sunday and didn't eat the best that day or yesterday, I'm going to probably try to wait a few days to weigh again.  If I can hold out, Saturday morning sounds like a plan.  We have plans Saturday night which will not be the healthiest, so I'd rather just *try* to do a weekly weigh in.  One of my friends in the challenge is already 38% to her four percent goal! That is awesome!!! Keep up the great work Ms. LashesAndLockets!!!!  I like that you can add your weight as you go. It's of course unofficial until the end, but still nice that you can see your progress, and progress of your friends, to keep everyone motivated!!!  

I've had my tea and am watering it up today.  I'm going to do this.  I like that this is a small goal.  Get us into the game of health!  I love that I have my best friend on board with me.  I know I make life difficult for him sometimes, and that I drive him crazy because I'm a girl who is emotional and loves food and the comfort it tends to give sometimes, but I'm glad he's always by my side. Cheering me along. Pushing me. Supporting me. And just being amazing. I'd be lost without him.  

So here we go!!  4% here I come. :)
