{November 3, 2009}   Day 2/3

Since I am doing two holiday challenges, I am going to update for bboth of them here. Hopefully the two challenges plus this blog will keep me accountable for everything! So my progress goes as follows.

For the Nest H&F challenge I am sitting at 205 points as of this morning. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but I am giving myself credit because this is all new for me. So, my personal goal as far as this challenge goes is to try and get at LEAST 90 points a day, and try and finish the challenge with 6000 points, which would average to about 100 points a day (a little less). I think it’s doable. I’m super excited

For the Holiday challenge I’m a sitting pretty well as far as the challenges themselves go. Water is good, and I am staying away from the scale until Sunday morning lol. I have designated that as my “weigh in” day. I just need to step up the exercise and the healthy eating.

I’m sort of bummed because I know I have no real chance of winning anything. But, I keep telling myself it’s not about winning, it’s about changing and being healthy. So far it’s working. BF and I are having a blast doing wii fit together, and we are going to try to do daily walks/runs as long as it fits out schedule and it doesn’t get to cold out. We are thinking about doing a triathlon…ptg1002 if you have any info about the one you just did in Sept could you send it my way? (if you even see this lol, I’m not sure if I have this set as completely private or not). It’s kind of near us (only a tate away!).

Also, I am really really intrested in doing the NYC half marathon. In two years. Well, not this spring/summer, but the one after. If I’m in shape :)

 

In non-h&f news, I just found out my 20 year old sister is pregnant. She is completely unprepared, financially, physically, and emotionally. She has no health insurance right now. We went out to lunch yesterday, and I’m hopefully that she will start to wise up. It just adds salt in the wound that more likely then not, after BF becomes Dh and we are out of school with jobs and trying, it’s going to take help of some nature, if it’s even possible. YAY ovary tumors :( Sister doesn’t know about this all, so I can’t hold it against her.

 

Ok, end rant :)

Hey you!

Certainly – we did the Devil’s Lake Tri, near WI Dells. The bike course is really, really, REALLY hilly but the rest of the course is super nice. I think you can google the race and get more info – let me know what else you need!

And as far as winning goes…don’t count yourself out yet!

And I’m sorry to hear about all the issues w/ babies. It’s hard, I imagine, knowing she’s going to have one when you know the rough road you will have ahead of you. But it will all turn out okay, I promise. (Sounds trite, but often true nonetheless.)

I find that it’s SO hard not to weigh myself everyday. I, unfortunately, let it start my day in a bad mood/good mood. I just need to put it away somewhere so I’m not so tempted!

Sorry about the babies issues as well. :(
