Stammering Forward: A Challenged Challenge

So, Spring Forward isn’t going so well thus far. I stopped tracking post-weigh-in and have been making a series of poor food choices since then. I am not looking forward to my upcoming weigh-in. But, no need to write a week off! This is Spring Forward people. Summer is on it’s way. I got my head out of my ass yesterday getting-back-into-activity-wise and tracked for like half of today.

I bought one of those 3 month trackers from my WW a while ago. It’s handy. It gives you like little advice tips and whatnot at the bottom. One of the things it said was to: “Write down 10 reasons why you joined WW” or something to that effect. You know what my #1 reason is? I want to be able to bike to the beach, play volleyball with my friends and bike home. Without dying from exhaustion. Without dragging ass. And dropping 8-10lbs this month will totally help me be more spry on the sand. Sure losing weight means SO much more to me than that, but keeping that goal in mind is going to make me pick up the pencil tomorrow.

March Madness Finale: Weigh-in No.4

Alas, March Madness is coming to a conclusion. But alack not! Success has been had! I am down 3 lbs from last week. Grand total March Madness loss = 9.5 lbs in 4 weeks. Woot! March Madness was an excellent way to re-invigorate my commitment to WW, stay motivated and inch my way closer to a healthy BMI.

But March Madness wasn’t just about weight loss – the madness helped me re-discover myself, become slightly less reclusive, make my apartment marginally less disgusting (I totally cleaned the other day), stop crushing on a boy, push through my plateau and turn up my cardio routine by way of interval (fartlek) training for both running and biking.

Now that the end is upon us (read: Shanny, myself and other MM participants) the only lucid course of action is to SPRING FORWARD. That’s right folks, it’s time for another challenge. New name, same rules: lose 8-10 lbs by way of healthy and intelligent means in a month (my weigh-in day will be April 3oth). Losing 8-10 more will get me palpably close to my healthy BMI. Very exciting shit. It’s not going to be easy. Stay tuned for results and other musings.
