I'm Committed

So here I am on Day #2 of the 100 days of weight loss. Day 2 simple asks you to make a choice, are you interested in your goal or committed. It says the main difference is that when you're committed, you will stick with your goals no matter what; however, when you're just interested in your goal anything can distract you from your goal!

In my case, I had a couple of distractions today. Those donuts that my mom-in-law brought into the house and the marshmallows that my son was eating while doing his homework - both of which I resisted!! This time around, I'm committed to getting the weight off!!!

As for the Game On Diet challenge with my family. I'm happy to report that we're all fully committed to sticking with this as well. It's nice to have the family along for the journey. :)

100 DAYS OF WEIGHT LOSS PREP WORK

My 100 Days of Weight Loss Cont. One of the prep tasks for the 100 days of weight loss challenge is to write out 10 reasons why you want to lose weight & then make copies and place them where you can see them daily.
So here are my Top 10 in 2010!!
I want to lose weight because:
1. I want to be in love with my body again!
2. I want to be able to get dressed/undressed in front of my husband without feeling self conscious (even though he tells me he loves me no matter what)!
3. I want to finally wear a two piece bikini!
4. I want to have more energy!
5. I want to be fit & more athletic!
6. I want to finally be able to say that I DID IT!
7. I want to be the "Hot" Mom with kids! Lol... :)
8. I want to feel good about myself & what I can accomplish when I set my mind to it.
9. I want to be healthy!
10. I want to be an example for my family, epsecially those who suffer with diabetes & other ailments.

10 Day Challenge

It's about 10 or so days until September 1st and a brand new month. So during these next days I decided to undergo a 10 Day challenge from my Sparkpeople.com team & add my own twist too it.

Here is the 10 Day Challenge portion...

N = 5 servings of fruits/veggies daily
E = Your own exercise challenge, please state it in the challenge thread that I'll post for this challenge. That's only going to be for those who commit to this challenge, like a pledge thread for the 10 days. We'll use the NEW SPARK Chat!!! thread for all the posting on how we're doing in the challenge.
W = 8 8oz glasses of h2o daily
S = 10-15 minutes of Sunlight, daily
P = Pray/Meditate as much as you can/want.
A = 10-15 minute of fresh air, daily
R = Rest, 8 hours of sleep, and here's the bonus, every hour of sleep before midnight will count as 2 hours. So if you want to be up longer, do it on the other side of midnight, LOL or just get 8 hours for sure!
K = Don't overdo anything, sleep, staying awake, food, dessert, whatever it is, KEEP TEMPERATE/ KNOW when to STOP!

For those of you who walk in the open air... you knock out the E, S, A of NEW SPARK in one shot. Let's make use of the sun while we have it during the summer because when that cold air comes we make all kinds of excuses and the sunlight really benefits us in so many ways!

My twist is a 7 day detox that I found online & it's rather simple. Tomorrow will be Day 1 and I will basically be eating fruit all day. That is Day 1 - eat fruit! Pretty easy. There is also a soup that I was supposed to make, but I won't be able to buy the ingredients until tomorrow.

Onward & Forward!!
