Hot 100 - Update #1

My goals:

• Kicking my Diet Mt. Dew habit for good 
• Exercising for at least 30 minutes 4-5 days a week.
• Limiting carbs to 45-50 per meal and 15 per snack
• Using my tracking forms for food, blood sugars, and exercise at least 5-6 days a week.
• Going to bed no later than 11pm every night.

I started the challenge on Tuesday.

{One} I typically drink at least six cans of Diet Mt. Dew each and every day. I even drink it for breakfast. Talk about a true confession! Today I had hot chocolate for breakfast. I didn't drink my first Diet Dew until 10am and it carried me through lunch. I had another can in the afternoon, one for supper and one after. So that was four total today. Definitely less today.

{Two} I attempted the Wii EA Sport Active game. I borrowed it from my sister. I was again reminded why I do not like this game. I gave it back to her today. I find it very hard to get the game to read my movements. I know it's all in how I hold the remote. It's not worth me yelling at the TV. LOL I pulled out my trusty Wii Biggest Loser game. I did the warm-up (6 minutes) plus the "Light All Body Workout" or whatever that one is called (18 minutes) and finished with a cool-down (8 minutes) for a total of  32 minutes. In addition my sister was here for the day. In the afternoon we went for a walk on the logging trails behind my house. We were out for 30 minutes.  I know I won't typically do 60 minutes, but it was a nice kick-off.

{Three} I didn't count carbs today.

{Four} I did not use my tracking form today. I need to print them out.

{Five} It's after 11pm already and I'm not heading to bed yet. Missed this one today too.

Okay, so the rest of the week can be summed up like this....a dismal failure! I have been eating junk food - and lots of it! Drinking Diet Mt. Dew - lots of it. NOT exercising. I took a quick 15 minutes walk on Thursday pushing a double stroller with about 80 lbs. of children in it (or at least it felt that way). 


Tomorrow IS another day and all things are made new. Here's to a great new day!
