Hot 100 going out with a bang!!!




South Beach Steve a fellow blogger has issued a challenge for those who wish to make a change and end the year with a bang to join together in a group effort, to challenge each other to make the best of the last 100 days of 2009... I for one am excited to hear the call. I was just messaging my friend Kay to keep tabs on each other and this just takes things to the next level. I hope others will be motivated too - definitely the kick in the butt I have needed. So between my friend kay and my friend steve I won't let ya down :)

the rules are pretty simple
(for his blog: http://www.logmyloss.com/ )
1. set some goals for the next 100 days
2. publish your goals (we need the accountability- right? )
3. and check in every week... or so ( within every 10 days)

Alright so here's my goals:
- get the eating thing under control - 5 small meals a day
- workout at east 3 times a week
- get to bed before midnight
- water.... drink some :) right now the water intake is pretty sad!

of course I want to lose weight... yada, yada, yada - but I figure if I do the above, the weight will take care of itself :0)

keep ya posted!

New week same stinkin' goal.....

This week's goal - major failure I stunk!!! So what does that mean? I'll keep at it till I can do it:0) 15 minutes a day.... at least until I'm consistent

So for those of you who don't know... I've been talking about the Utah Valley marathon for next summer being my "made it" goal. I have always believed you should set goals based on effort not always performance, because your body can plateau even though you are doing what you should... you may not always see the results your looking for... so I have set some very specific goals to track my own success, and the mother of them all....the marathon next june!!!!

Now for those of you who think a year is far away and I'm setting my sights low... you should know that I did a 2 mile run today and I had to walk almost ALL of it... trust me I'll be needing the whole year!!!

I'd love to hear from anyone who's run one....any advice?

Goal - Breakfast

I have grossly underestimated the time restraints of having a 7 week old, and two rambunctious boys, but don't worry I haven't given up hope... just need to attack this one step at a time. So this weeks goal will be all about breakfast -

I will start each day with a healthy PROMPT breakfast, I will eat before 9am.

A "research group analyzed government data on 4,200 adults. They found that regular breakfast eaters were more likely to exercise regularly. And women who ate breakfast regularly tended to eat fewer calories overall during the day. Those men and women who ate breakfast cereal had lower overall fat intake -- compared to those who ate other breakfast foods."

The Plan

I hope to achieve my goals by eating a balanced a diet and increasing my activity. I have made a plan to achieve this seemingly easy task... by turning to Kashi I will utilize their already balanced foods for my breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Then I will focus on light dinners of simple salads, soups etc.

I believe that by focusing on whole grains, simple proteins and balanced friuts and veggies i will not only feel better, but my energy will increase allowing me to pursue the active lifestyle I so desperately want!

Follow my journey as I transform my lifestyle from "heavy homemaker" to "active mommy"... my belief that approaching my weight loss goals with a focus on health instead of weight will not only improve my apprearance but more importantly it will transform my life.

I have turned to Kashi for this transformation because I believe their philosophy of Whole Foods will not only give me the nutrition I need but their 7 whole grains will give me the energy I need too.
