Katie J's Kickoff: Hot 100 Challenge

Had salmon as planned and it was fab. Dave and I went on a walk and it was the furthest we have walked to date. It was 1.3 miles around our neighborhood. I also did 40 crunches when we got home. You can see the spike around 8:00 p.m.

Today is Day One of the Hot 100 Challenge and I have come up with the following goals:

1. I plan to lose 2 lbs. per week for the next 14 weeks (100 days) and I have programmed my bodybugg to achieve that. My deficit required in the past has been 750 calories and and now it is 1,000 which is steep but an achievable goal. The key is going to be to increase my activity to get that kind of deficit daily. I still plan on consuming 1,400-1,600 cals per day. By the way, I posted this information about goal setting. Check it out if you have a chance. There are some worksheets you can print as well.
2. I will wear my bodybugg from 7:00 am until 10:00 pm daily including weekends. I have been quite loose about wearing it on the weekends. My most successful times of this journey was when I was consistently wearing the bugg and tracking the deficits. I will upload all my screenshots for accountability including weekends.
3. My exercise plan is to exercise a minimum of 30 mins/day for a minimum of 5 days a week. I would like to go to the gym at least 1-2 times per week as well. One Group X Class and one day of cardio and weight training. I also want to try one new class by the end of this year. I will update on Daily Mile which also displays on my sidebar.

Tonight I am on my own. I am kitty sitting Gretta kitty and plan on going on a bike ride and doing some Wii.  Feeling pretty pumped and it has been a long time coming. The good news is I have not gained any weight for the last 10 months and the bad news is I haven't lost any but I feel like I have worked on some of the internal reasons for my obesity and identified triggers etc. so I am focused and ready! Hoooraaaahhh! Until next time...
