The Big Push

The date has been set - October 17th.

*Background Info*

A long, loooooooooooong time ago, my mom told me that when I got to my goal weight she would take me on a $hopping $pree.

*OK, now you are updated*

Well, I have spent the last 6 weeks or so just living life and having a good time. Now that healthy living comes naturally it is a breeze! I haven't been keeping track of what I eat or how much I exercise. I eat well and get my train on because that is just how I am now! :)

BUT -

I have decided to spend the next three weeks in high gear with my training. It would be nice to be close to my 100 lbs weight loss when I go on my $hopping $pree, since that is most likely where I'll be spending the rest of my life at, scale-wise.

I am on a strict bike, run, walk rotation...

  • Bike 5 miles one day
  • Run 3 the next day
  • Walk 2 the next

I am also doing the following 2 out of every three days (or three out of three if I feel like it) -

  • 100 crunches
  • 100 wall push ups
  • 10 regular push ups
  • 20 pull ups on my total gym
As I get closer to the date, the numbers slowly increase until I am up to
  • Biking 6
  • Running 4
  • Walking 3
  • 200 crunches
  • 200 wall pu's
  • 25 reg pu's
  • 30 pull ups

Please pray that I am smart with my stretching, water intake, etc. so that I don't injure myself!

Can't wait to fill up all in on my successes on the 17th!

and more importantly -

Can't wait to show you all my new wardrobe after that!
