I think I have posted this before, as a matter of fact I know that I have…Dieting, it’s no fun and it’s tough.
But I have found my calling, I have found my motivation….Money! What am I talking about? Well, a few days ago I was doing my blog hoping and found where a fellow blog friend is competing in the Spring Fitness Challenge over at A Feathered Nest.
Being nosey, haha (*smiles*), I hopped over to read up on this Spring Fitness Challenge. There is a jackpot! You sign up for $10.00, and then for 8 weeks you work your hardest trying to beat the other competitors. Oh and before I signed up the jackpot was up to $200.00!! Yes, you read that right. What better motivator then money, to buy some new clothes for the weight you lose!
So, I signed up Monday, which was day 1, just in time, I hadn’t ate breakfast yet, so I could make my choices wisely! Now, she isn’t going with who loses the most weight, it’s who ever loses the biggest %, so it’s anybody’s game!
I didn’t set a goal for this 8 week challenge, I just wanted to join because I needed to lose weight, I am over my target weight for my height.
So every Monday, you will be subjected to read my stats, what fun, huh!? Not that I want to share with you all what I weigh, so I’ll just go with what % I lose.
For my training, I am using the Guide from Fitness magazine to running Half a Marathon in 8 weeks. I figured that this was the structure I needed. Monday night I ran/walked 2 miles. Let’s just say, ok, so I walked, very fast, 2 miles. I couldn’t have even tried running, I would have passed out for sure. Last night I worked out for 20 minutes, lifting weights, and strength training. My biggest priority right now is sticking to drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
I chose a baked chicken breast on Monday night as opposed to Hamburger Helper that I fixed Zack and the girls. Oh do not act like you don’t fix Hamburger Helper! It’s fast and easy and tasty to boot!
So wish me luck I want that money!!

That is awesome! It's so hard to make those little choices that are healthy, rather than just do what's easiest (like make Hamburger Helper). I hope you win the money!! :)
