Do Life Movement Challenge Week 1

My 5 quantifiable goals for this month:
1. Lose 10 pounds - current weight 181
2. Workout 6 days per week - currently 4/6 times
3.  Do a plank per day - currently 2 per week
4. Eat 6 meals per day - currently 4-6 times
5. Run a 5k in under 28 minutes - current fastest time is 28:33

1-2-12
I can do 10 full push ups


My biggest excuse: I'm tired, sore
Ways to work around it: get more sleep, stretch more, work different muscles to vary the exercises


4 things each night that I did well that day:
Monday-ran my heart out, had good conversations with coworkers about break, smiled at everyone I saw, picked up the house when I got home.
Tuesday- had a good workout, made someone smile, made healthy dinner, ate all six of my planned meals today!
Wednesday- worked out, added in seven mins of row machine, did my plank a day, made dinner
Thursday- workout, spent time with my inlaws, split my chipotle into two meals instead of one, laughed
Friday- gave an rootbeer float party for my students and didn't have one! finished all my lesson plans before school got out, worked out even though I thought I had no time, completed one week of #plankaday
Saturday-did my first triathlon workout, ate right, spent time with family, smiled a lot

I added in five minutes per work out this week to add the extra 30 minutes.  I added a more running, a kettle ball, rowing, squats, and planks

  1. I am still working on that push up thing. LOL. That is one of my weaknesses.

    As for weight training, it totally zonks me out. Which is a good thing because I have a hard time sleeping otherwise. Glad I took up the hobby. :)

    Definitely quantifiable and achievable goals. Kudos! I love eating small meals per day. But that 6th one is usually pretty tough for me and usually skip it out.
