100 Healthy Days


Recommended Posts

So that #100happydays has been buzzing around my Instagram like nobody's business but it made me start thinking about doing a 100 Healthy Days. It's not that long, BUT it is a great way to start building habits so that 100 Days turns into 200, 500, 1000, and beyond!! 

 

Also I lost my other battle log in this sea and feel like I need a fresh start right now anyway, so here we go.

 

Stats:

Height: 5'8

Weight: 225

Endurance: Low

Strength: N/A (probably medium, though)

Awesome factor: red panda

Day 1!!

 

Breakfast: oatmeal and black coffee

Lunch: leftover chicken pad thai

Dinner: Amy's enchilada's with an avocado sliced on top

 

I ran two laps around the lower school complex across the street from my apartment (which is, let's be honest, probably only 1/4-1/2 a mile) as a warmup. Then I did 15 minutes of jump rope. 

 

And it was awesome!

What a busy week! But at least one healthy choice was made each day, which is really my goal for the beginning of this.

 

Day 2: opted for a sushi lunch instead of going to Moe's

Day 3: went with GRILLED fish tacos instead of fried, which I wanted, or steak, which I usually get.

Day 4: had a salad for dinner and played a very active hour of sand volleyball! So tiring but so fun.

Day 5: Only took stairs/climbed the escalator all day

Day 6: Saturdays are usually pretty lazy, but I walked around a lot all day, had a salad for dinner, and worked all night doing something with the Smithsonian which meant lots of heavy lifting and more walking around!

Day 7: slept a lot to recover from Saturday. for dinner, chose to go with a spinach-based dish instead of a cream-based dish for Indian food takeout

Day 8 (yesterday!): had a tough day, but instead of going the comfort food route, I had just a small cup of frozen yogurt with fruit on it as my "pick-me-up" treat

 

Today, aka Day 9: About to go on a run!

Day 9 update: instead of doing a low and slow jog, I did 20 minutes of medium-intensity running with some walking breaks interspersed. It feels GOOD! Got home, decided to start my own PLP-type thing but without the pull-ups. SO today was: five pushups (I do elbows in, but weeny on-the-knees ones) and then did a 30 second wall stand. I want to add a little each day! Plus one pushup, plus one second (or five seconds? don't know how aggressive that is) wall stand!

Day 10: the skies basically broke open after I got off work, so going on an afternoon run kinda disappeared with that (we're talking lots of rain, not just a mist). For dinner, had quinoa with an avocado mashed into it with some hot sauce and then a bowl of broccoli. Had a light beer as well, because happy hump day, and about to go embark on a quick circuit of the beginner body weight workout and then six pushups and either a 31 or 35 second wall stand! Depending on how my arms are feeling  :mushroom:

Day 10 update: ended up doing the circuit 3 times through, but without the lunges since those hurt my knees if I have to do them stationary. 35 second wallstand and 6 pushups!

 

Day 11: Crazy day. Planned on a workout between work and going to a bar for a friend's birthday, but then a mouse showed up in my kitchen so I was sidetracked in dealing with that. No "real" workout, but all of the power walking to the store and back for mouse traps was tiring. At the bar, instead of the usual "drink all the beers" mentality, I went for a gin and soda and then a light beer and that was it! Woo!

 

Day 12: Was worried I wouldn't get to workout yesterday either because my roomie's parents were in town, BUT my boss let us all leave work at 2pm so I got to go on a run!!

 

Day 13 (today): started off the day with a delicious strawberry/banana/peach smoothie with protein powder! Have a brunch scheduled for noon, so I woke up early to get a healthy breakfast in so I don't gorge myself on mimosas and sweet things at noon.
