My BLC16 Goals

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

So our Wisteria Wolves challenge this week/weekend is to post our goals for BLC16, with these guidelines:

1st goal must be food related.
2nd goal must be exercise related.
3rd goal must not be related to food or exercise.

1) I will track my food EVERY day!
*I've gotten out of the habit the past month or so, but as of yesterday I'm back on track with tracking, and I intend to keep it consistent.

2) I will exercise EVERY DAY for at least 10 minutes
*I let that drop off the radar with The Split - work has been so insane I just couldn't even think about it. But it really helped me feel better on those 12 hour days that I was doing SOME kind of exercise - I got in one set of wallies (wall pushups) already tonight, yay!

3) I will spend at least 5-10 minutes every day in daily Reiki self-practice
*I got the Level 1 Reiki attunment at Sirius Rising last summer, and intend to take the Level 2 class this year. Our instrutor recommended we take time every day to center ourselves with Reiki, and I really think that would do a lot to help my stress levels. Plus it's just good for you to keep your energy balanced anyway. All part of getting all around healthy, right?


Part TWO of the challenge:

Take a picture of yourself NOW :) Have it in the blog with these goals...so at the end of the twelve weeks we are go back and see if there are some changes :)

I JUST took these on my phone. :) Note - I'm not quite at the point I'm comfortable tucking my shirt in yet, but I'm getting there. I AM pretty happy at how loose the shirts are now though. You will also notice my GINORMOUS water bottle that I keep by my desk at work - it's my goal to down that whole thing by the time I have my break at 4am every night, and then I have a smaller one I finish off the rest of the morning. The more I drink at work, the less I get up to potty when I should be sleeping.



Alright...get ready...get set...GO!
AROOOOO!

~^!^~ B2W MISSION 16!! ~^!^~

Monday, April 11, 2011

What did you do this weekend for Mission 15?!?!

Nada - I've not been able to do much with any challenges the past two weeks or so. But I'm BACK IN THE SADDLE as of RIGHT NOW!

Pick two songs. Everytime you hear those two songs this weekend, you owe me 4 minutes of cardio. I recommend turning up the radio and dancing to that song, even if you are in the middle of mopping the kitchen floor. Time to have some fun. Time to dance when no one is looking. Word?

Hmmmm, I don't listen to the radio except in the car much - at home 'Yote usually either has some news show or other on the TV, one of his G4 favorites (he's an avid "Attack of the Show" and "XPlay" watcher), or he's got Firesign Theater playing on my computer while he wanders around 15 Century Rome shivving Templars (or riding the old west - he FINALLY started playing the Red Dead Redemption I got him for Christmas this week). SO, I guess my best bet on this one is to do my GOYBAD videos every day when I post 'em to the Wisteria Wolves team. Considering how often I post then and don't DO them, I should totally put my money where my mouth is there.

Wear your workout clothes around the house one evening instead of whatever you normally wear in the evenings. See if just wearing your clothes around doesn't or does make you want to drop and do some crunches, or take off on a walk or a run. Do it as a social experiment.

Teehee, I can totally do that.

Decide what your power snack will be this week.

Power snack? Hmmmmm... Okay, I've got a bunch of apples that need eating, so that works!

Set a cardio minute goal and do one of the strength workouts that you found at the beginning of B2W!

I'm going to set my goal at 90 minutes - considering I have to divide that up between Wednesday and Thursday I figure that's a good number.

Finish up a little bit of spring cleaning!

That I DEFINITELY need to do, though I'd really been planning it for later in the weekend. But since I work Saturday night again, getting it done early is a good thing. ON IT!

Photo Blog Catch Up

Saturday, April 09, 2011

If you didn't see it, I posted a link to my first photo blog as part of yesterday's blog here. I'm specifically and intentionally posting them on my livejournal, as a tool to get me back to posting there regularly (I've sorely neglected my LJ over the past 9 months I've been active on SP). If you've got a livejournal - feel free to friend me and comment over there. But I didn't want my spark buds to feel left out, so I'm going to repost the links here.

Nifty Resource - Photographic Height/Weight Chart

Friday, April 08, 2011

Found this on one of my friends livejournals - it's pretty awesome being able to see actual people at various weights. Definitely makes it easier to visualize goals!

Speaking of livejournal, I FINALLY got around to posting my first photo blog (I'd intended to start the 30 days on April 1st, but being out of town made that kind of difficult). So for those interested...

In other news, 'Yote and I just finished step two of our Big Fat Lesbian Wedding - wills and Medical POA in the bag. Just have to do the Financial POA docs and we're covered legally for people who live together but can't (or in our case, aren't going to) get legally married. Huzzah!

NOW - time to go pick up a couple of red heads from work, and then enjoy my last night off. It's been a GOOD weekend - very restful, very positive, very much what I needed.

Despite the current work-stress, life is seriously VERY good.
