Fitness and Weight Loss Challenge
I have been trying to get healthier over the past year and have been failing miserably. As much as I would love to lose weight, I really just want to get healthier. To not be on medication. To not worry.
And even knowing I need to make changes, I am having a bitch of a time doing it. I start and stop all the time. But I need to buck up and put together a schedule and, like Nike says, just do it. Two weeks ago I started and made it a whole week. <GASP!!!> ThenThanksgiving week happened. My morning schedule got all discombobulated and I didn’t do any exercise. Then with the actual holiday, the foods I ate weren’t exactly good for me. Blech.
Well, this week I have started out okay. Monday and Tuesday I exercised. Monday’s diet got blown out of the water, but Tuesday I stuck to it. Today I stuck to the diet, even with the company holiday party, but I didn’t get my exercise on. We’ll have to see what the rest of the week holds.
Regardless, starting on Friday, I am taking the DC Urban Dad Challenge. I am hopeful that the challenge, the forced accountability, and the camaraderie of a group of people will be enough to push me forward. I will update here weekly. I will not give you my actual weight, but will tell you of the weight loss, if there is any and the points I earn or lose.
Wish me luck and come back to see how I do.
