2011 Winter 5% Challenge Committment: Lose between 10 - 16 pounds ********See action plan below*********** %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Words that keeps me going ...... "If it is to be, it is up to me." **************************************** This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good. Author Unknown **************************************** "I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." **************************************** There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them ~ Denis Waitley **************************************** “I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” Jimmy Dean **************************************** "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Michael Jordon **************************************** If you always do what you’ve done, you will always get what you’ve always got. -Ed Foreman %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ****PROGRESS TRACKER************* Area,,,,...Start......Current......Loss BMI:.......43.3..........37.4.......5.9 B/Fat:......46%........39% .......7% Waist:......46............41.........5.0 Weight:... 250.0 ....209.25....40.7.5 lbs %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ******GOAL TRACKER*************** Mini Goals: BMI ~ SBMI =41.6 ...... 01/01/11 #1 = 40.0 #2 = 38.0 #3 = 36.0 #4 = 34.0 #5 = 32.0 #6 = 30.0 #7 = 28.0 #8 = 26.0 #9 = 24.0 Body Fat% ~ #1 = 46.0... 01/01/11 #2 = 44.0 #3 = 42.0 #4 = 40.0 #5 = 38.0 #6 = 36.0 #7 = 34.0 #8 = 32.0 #9 = 30.0 #10 = 28.0 #11 = 26.0 #12 = 24.0 Weight ~ sw= 250 lbs ... 01/01/11 #1 = 240 lbs ... #2 = 230 lbs #3 = 220 lbs #4 = 210 lbs #5 = 200 lbs #6 = 190 lbs #7 = 180 lbs #8 = 170 lbs #9 = 160 lbs #10 = 150 lbs ..
