Challenge underway

I dedicated a whole page to my weekly/daily challenges . . . but that doesn't mean I am good at completing them! I think my first challenge is to remember to do the challenges!

I thought a Friday update might remind me that this is under way:

• 300 push ups in a week -- I am down 100 and have two hundred to go, and three days left of this week - totally do-able.
• Water Challenge - I have increased my water intake dramatically and including herbal tea (caffeine free) I am drinking at least 3 litres a day! (I have on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday this week anyway).
• Today's daily challenge is to walk/run 4.8km. We'll see how we go, it is raining cats and dogs and random areas around work are currently flooding, so the weather is not really motivating me!

That's it for now! I have to focus on walking and push ups!!

Survived

I survived, and I can still see you so I guess you're still with me Jelly Belly. But not for much longer at this rate! I worked out yesterday morning and Pump class last night burnt off 691 calories and then this mornings work out (Toning session) burnt off 300 calories and that's not counting all those other calories that that are getting eaten up right now!

I must be doing something because I haven't done Pump class in a couple of weeks and last night I upped the weights a tiny bit. Normally I would have been sore last night and even sorer this morning. But I'm not! I'm a little bit stiff, but I feel great! I say that now, we'll see how much stiffer and sorer I get through the rest of the day!

The program is so easy to follow. I am surprised how easy I am finding it! I mean that I am finding it easy to follow, that doesn't mean that the work outs are easy. It also doesn't mean that I am never hungry. They can be hard and sometimes I am hungry, but that's healthy. I'm not starving, nor am I ravenous. It is a manageable hunger and the more water I am drinking, the easier it is to manage!

Tomorrow is weigh in day! I'm a bit nervous about this - probably due to all that bread on Sunday ... mmm... freshly baked bread! I think after that thought I need to go for another workout, I seem to put on weight by only thinking about food!

Just a note on the challenges from yesterday!

Monday's daily challenge - Water; 2 litres drank. Aiming for 3 litres today!

Monday's MFP Challenge - 50 pushups - DONE!

12wbt - 300 pushups, 50 down 250 to go!

Monday Challenged!!

The new challenge is out for the 12wbt! And I have a couple of challenges that I am doing separately or in conjunction with the 12wbt.

The Weekly Challenge is . . . 300 push-ups over the next week. That's an average of 50 push-ups a day. Even broken down to the daily average this doesn't sound that great! Alright . . . this is do-able. Breathe, relax. We'll have to start this one tonight Jelly Belly. There's no where at work that I want to get onto my hands and knees!

My daily challenge is . . . Water Consumption. Increase it! After being naughty yesterday, I know that I ma dehydrated. I didn't drink anywhere near enough water over the weekend! Also, it's cold today! F-ing cold actually! I know I don't drink alot of water when it's cold, because the filtered water at work is chilled!

Today's MFP challenge is . . . 50 pushups on my knuckles. I think it would be completely fair to incorporate this into the weekly challenge!

Alright! It's going to be a hard day! I hope that we do some push ups in Pump tonight to get rid of some of this weeks challenge!!

Much Inspiration?

The first weekly challenge has been released; Create an Inspiration Board.

As if I need another excuse to spend more time on pinterest!? My lead procrastination tool and one of the few 'social media' websites that have not been blocked at work, pinterest has been a tool I have utilised for a little while, when you had to apply for an invitation to be involved. The digital pin boards have come in handy for me, collecting and collating ideas and visions in one very easily accessible place. It is a tool that enables my degree in procrastination, for which I should have graduated from by now.

For this challenge, I have created a new board, Inspired! to represent my inspirational ideas that I come across in this digital world. You can check it out here, if you'd like: http://pinterest.com/krittter5/inspired/

Hopefully you'll look like this soon Jelly Belly!
