Jonesy Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 This will be my 10th challenge here on NF! I kick off my challenge with the Hot Chocolate 5/15k on Sunday the 2nd. I did this 5k last year and I ran 95% of it and ended up hurting myself. That injury put me off working out and was not handled well. I gained back most of the weight I lost training for that race and am disappointed that I let it go this far. I won't be running the whole thing this year but I will attempt to run the majority. This challenge has a 5k in it, a trip to Florida at the end and then another 5k right after the challenge ends, so I can't afford to slack off. Lots of motivation to do this right! Goal 1 : Food1 day of eating out (3 out of 21 meals a week)Diet - Move to a more Paleo food plan (Reduce or eliminate gluten, dairy, legumes, sugar & alcohol), prepare meals in advance and meal plan.Stats - 3 WIS & 2 CONGrading -250-400 points = A151-249 points = B101-150 points = C51-100 points = D0-50 points = FHow will I earn points?

Jill Beat Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I love the plank challenge! Definitely one of the best core exercises you can do because it involves so many muscles and is functional!

Jonesy Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thank you all! I probably won't be posting much this challenge because it tends to overwhelm me. I'm keeping track of my goals through Google docs HERE. Yes, the planking is a great challenge! Last night, as I was doing them i swear the tops of my thighs started to pull and it was not a good feeling. I had to cut the time short by a few seconds but that's ok. I'm thinking this planking for 5 mins challenge will actually take more days, if this week is any indicator. I don't think I'll get my 2 5ks in this week because I woke up late yesterday and only had 45 mins to workout. I'm resting 2 days before my 5k this Sunday but I did get in 1.7 miles in so far. I'll post more on Sunday.

Jonesy Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Week 1 ReviewGoal 1 : Food62.75 Food Points While I did a decent job of eating this last week and a great job not eating out all the time, I still have lots of work to do. Goal 2 : Exercise5.2 miles completed I was not able to complete my 6.2 miles this week but I did complete my first 5k of the year! I didn't want to run too much prior to the race but knew I needed to do something. On race day, I knew I was going to be slower and I thought I would be picked up by the race truck that carts you to the finish line but I made it by myself. I looked at my times and I was only 6 mins slower than last year but I'm just happy that I finished and have no injuries! Just really sore. Goal 3 : Exercise7 out 7 days completed. I had to cut 5 seconds off my time on Sunday because the 45 seconds was really hard. I have a feeling this plank challenge might get extended. Lifestyle : Chore CalendarDoing pretty well keeping up with my calendar. It helps keep my whole place clean!

Jonesy Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ahh I've let most things fall from my grasp but I have not completely lost it. I was eating pretty poorly for a while due to some stress, which also lead me to get away from the computer but I seem to have that sort of under control. I surprised my mom with a visit last week and she was COMPLETELY caught off guard and says it was the best surprise she has ever had. I took a 9 day vacation and flew to Florida. Lost 3 pounds while I was there due to all the walking we did at all the Disney World parks. I also just did my 2nd 5k of the year, the Seahawks 5k. I don't have another 5k planned but that is something I need to look into. I'm taking a break from challenges on NF but intend to do some type of physical challenge. I hope I can get back on here more but for right now I'm just lurking and reading blog posts.
