Spring Shape Up Challenge

Last week I joined Theodora, from Losing Weight in the City, for her Spring Shape Up Challenge. I've been looking for something to motivate me to keep working out and I really hope that this is something that will keep me going. It's nice because we have short- and long-term goals so it gives you more than one thing to work one.

My short term goals from last week:

• Lose one pound Probably a fail but scale is such a wack job I'm not sure but based on how much I ate........I'm thinking FAIL
• Drink more water I think I actually did pretty good on this one. I'm working on getting used to trying to drink 1.5 L bottles of water versus the 0.5 ones........

My long term goals:

• Lose 8-10 lbs total. I've been trying to focus on losing 1 lb a week but I would be ok with more. However it seems that 1/2 a pound has been more realistic which leads me to my next goal.
• Eat healthier and watch my portion sizes. I've been pretty bad at that lately but Army food is not always the greatest (especially here).
• Workout at least 5 days/week. Just trying to be more consistent.

My goals for week 2:

• Lose one pound
• Do some form of cardio at least 4 times in the next week
• Begin the 200 sit up challenge
• Blog more!

The challenge ends March 21st. Two months to get rid of some of this weight for the last time. I'm so tired of being like this. I think that one of my only hopes may be to stop eating and exercise 24/7. I kid I kid............kinda..........Ha! Actually I just need to give up one of my biggest loves, ALCOHOL. It's a killer so I really have to buckle down til Rome so I can wear some of the pants that are coming to me in the mail!
