I'll start with my traditional "beginning of Challenge post". For more about me (for the curious) - check my signature for previous challenges where I'll have a bio (beyond that I'm a traveling consultant - emphasis on travel LOL). I also love to cook and have started a Recipe thread (I'll throw that into my sig as well). I've decided to stick with the Rebels until I can figure out this "workout" thing. My last FEW challenges have been quite successful. I've got a handle on my eating (and continuing to tweak) and I'm still struggling to form some sort of workout routine! SO - this challenge I'm going to keep on keeping on - but focusing on getting on the workout bandwagon. Starting with walking. I've been working on getting in at least 3 days of walking per week although I'm not remotely getting to my ultimate goal of 10k on those days - so I'm going to back my "goal" down to average 5k per day over the week with a goal of 3 "walking" days where I need to far exceed that to meet that goal. Any other Fitbit users want to track and keep me honest - my public URL is www.fitbit.com/user/27X45Y - feel free to friend me! I also reserve the right to throw this RIGHT OUT and come up with a different workout plan LOL. I just need to find SOMETHING that I can be consistent with - although I really, really want to work on my cardio health. So - onto the list: 1) Nutrition - keep up with Probiotic and Breakfast shakes 5+ days per week. Continue cutting carbs for most meals (one cheat day - and realize I need to stick as much as possible when traveling). 2) Set myself up for success - During the week - drag my a$$ out of bed by 7am (may have to get up a BIT earlier when on the road - but enough time to get in AT LEAST 30 minutes of walking - or dang - SOME SORT OF WORKOUT in the AM) - this does mean taking "workout gear" with me when traveling - but that shouldn't be a problem. 3) Exercise - Walk. Just Walk. I want to do MORE, but I've got to get some weight off so I'm focusing on walking this challenge. Goal is 5k steps PER DAY average. May throw this out and do a Body Weight Workout - or something completely different though...... 4) Sleep - Do my best to keep a sleep schedule\get enough sleep. Fell off a bit this challenge - need to get back on the wagon here.... I mean I totally rocked it last week - but I was sick and my body sort of forced me to. If only I can do that NORMALLY. 5) Check in here more. Even while traveling - I have the technology LOL. Check in on my thread at LEAST 3 times per week, keep up with the Juice Bar. If I have time, follow a few other threads to encourage others and at least TRY to do the mini-challenges.
