So let's be real. Last challenge was a failure for me. I worked out a good amount, but went out to eat a lot, ate a lot of ice cream, and reallllly took advantage of my summer of fun things. Vacations, floating rivers, 4th of July, celebrating birthdays, boat outings, and all the other fun stuff Austin has to offer in the summer. Now who could float down this river without a drink or two or three?? So I have a new tactic this challenge! I heard about this thing called diet bet. It is where you put your money into a pot with a bunch of other people and pledge to lose 4% of your body weight in one month. The people who lose the weight get to split the pot. Good idea, eh? Well I opted to do my own little diet bet. I bought this beauty: I decided to give myself 6 weeks to lose 4 lbs (from my initial weigh in of 130.6 lbs this AM), which should be doable even with vacations. I don't get my mat until I hit 126.6 lbs. If I don't hit it by the time I leave for my 10 year high school reunion over Labor Day, my beautiful mat will be going to Goodwill unused and I will be stuck with my old (but trusty) gross mat. So for this challenge: Main mission: SAVE MY YOGA MAT FROM PRISON - Lose 4 lbs before Labor Day to save my yoga mat and be awesome like this at my 10 year reunion. Goal 1: Fitness: Workout at least 180 minutes per week Make it to the climbing gym at least two times per week. Some form of hiking, climbing, yoga, kayaking fitness blender combo. A - 180+ minutes B - 150 - 179 minutes C - 120 - 149 minutes D - 90 - 119 minutes F - <89 minutes Goal 2: Serious calorie counting during the week. Good decisions during the weekend with/without calorie counting (and pray I don't gain 10 lbs while I'm in Michigan this weekend). Trying to stay between 1200-1500 net A - 5 days of logged food B - 4 days of logged food C - 3 days of logged food D - 2 days of logged food F - 1 day of logged food Goal 3: NO alcohol during the week. Not even a little wine. Also cool it on the weekends. Ain't nobody need to see me binge drinking. A - none per week B - one per week C - two per week D - three per week F - four per week Life Goal: Finish sanding that gosh darn table. I have been working on it for three weeks now and I am finished with 2 chairs, halfway through 2 chairs and have the whole table left. If it is not done by the end of this challenge, maybe I will burn it or something. 2 months until Oktoberfest! Prost!
