I really am starting to think of my post titles. So this week I want to talk about drive and progress. First weigh in day with my motivation buddies. My buddies, 1 new 1 I have had for at least a year are seeing what can be done in a month. And the numbers are 126.8 and 28.6% body fat. I was talking to someone at the gym that had lost 56 pounds and is now a size 1 and she was saying because she is lifting weights the scale is going up but the fat is going down. This is why I want to keep an eye on the body fat thing. I have to look back at what I was last week. OK I did try to look back on a weight and found 131 but no body fat. This was from a day right after pigging out on ice cream. So 131-126 looks like down 5 pounds. Like on BL the first week of changing habits is always a big one. It's not that I ate that bad but I really cleaned it up this week and also kicked up the workouts. I have to say I am enjoying them.
I also have been listening to some podcast and trying to stay focused. I have another friend that has helped develop an app and website. I am having a blast with that. I am on level 4. I was at the gym yesterday and took an aerobic type of a class, very fun but she did no pushups and I signed up for this challenge to do 20 per day. At the end of the class I had a mat and time so I got them done and completed the challenge. I did see some one asked on the slimkickers site (my friend's site) what happens if you missed a couple of the days? Well in my book you didn't do it and try again. The challenge is for 7 days not like 3 months. Sometimes you just have to say, "hey I tried but I didn't do it." and try again. I guess it wasn't that important to you or you would of gotten it done. Like life, it's not the end of the world. Can you say you got 1/2 way over the wall? no. you either got over or you didn't.
If you think of a challenge as a wall you put a sticky note on the wall and say I got this high this time and try again. You don't get the checker flag till you do it. So what if it takes you 9 weeks to do it, I have time. This is all about developing habits, good habits. Maybe 5 hours on the computer blogging isn't a good habit unless it's your income. Let's see 5 hours- 1 min. to get those pushups done and you have plenty of time left. One of the things my mom use to say is "don't make a big production about it, just get it done." Let me quick get those pushups done, I feel guilty not doing them even if I have the challenge done. OK done. I feel better now.
Striiv up date. I did do a bunch of challenges on it the other day or should I say over the last week. I am building energy to be able to build this little town. I have to figure that part out. Well enough for today. Get out there and enjoy the day
