Here is your motivation boost for today.
I have a birthday party planned for Violet this weekend and I have invited a few of my closest friends. There will be cake and treats and junk and goodies. Tonight at the gym I talked with a couple of the friends who will be in attendance at this feast and you know what those Hard Cores said? Nugh ugh! Not gonna happen! My husband can eat my cake but I will not partake!
Pure craziness. The next time you feel like cheating, remember what you're up against down here in Tucson. Pure desert grit right there. I guess I'll only make one dozen cupcakes rather than two?
As for me, Saturday will be a sweet, simple carbohydrated day. :) I choose my battles and this one is easier left to the Hard Cores to fight. Love it. Love them. Love all of you.
p.s. Would you all please stop thanking me! It's so nice but turn that gratitude around and thank yourself! You guys are rocking this thing!!! I'm rubber, you're glue....

the latest and greatest challenge
100 PUSHUPS
Yesterday's Initial Test:
http://hundredpushups.com/test.html
16
Kinda pathetic but at least it's not less.
This means that tomorrow I'm supposed to start with column 3 but I'm not gonna. I'm going to eaaaaase into it and start with column 2.
Day 1 of Week 1
Today was easy, mostly because I've chosen to stick with the middle column even though I did enough to qualify for the most challenging column.
I was able to bang out all of the push-ups in about 3 minutes rather than spacing them out a bunch. I also did 14 push-ups for my max out at the end. Those felt good. :)
I still feel comfortable with my choice to go easier. I think this will give me a better chance at success by keeping me from burning out on the program too quickly. How'd you do? ;)
Day 2
My second day should have landed on Sunday but I don't like working out on Sunday and I was zonked on that day. I completed day 2 late last night and it was hard.
For my last set, the max out set, I only eeked out 10. I don't know if it was because it was late or what but boy, rough go last night.
Hopefully Wednesday will be better.

Day 4: No sweets for this girl. I've been noticing when I get my after meal sweet craving its a lot less intense in about 10 minutes, not completely gone but small enough that I can forget about it pretty easily after that
Day 4: No fried foods or sweets, and I'm pretty sure I burned about 1,000 calories today! One hour at the gym, two hours choreographing, and three hours teaching technique/high energy jazz at the studio. Hopefully that makes up for my measly exercise yesterday. :)
Day 4: Hard core success :)
Day 4: Success!!! And it was HARD today. I had a meeting tonight for YO camp and it ended at 8:04 and there was a chocolate fountain with fresh strawberries, banana's, and marshmallows. It was so hard to resist, but I did it! I feel so awesome!
Day 4 successful. That dessert i made last night was even harder to resist while i was serving it up tonight:( But as i was driving home from our party, i felt so empowered! I am in control of my carnal wants:)
Day 4: Success, No Diet Coke/soda, No Sweets! Wow today was tough. Note to self: do not go on a drink run for coworkers wanting diet coke when resisting diet coke on a very long work trip! Today was tough, but I made it through. :)
Day 4: check! I'm starting to wish I didn't choose 3 things! I had no sweets today, ate 5 fruits and veggies and did a killer ab work out after my 12 hour shift... it wasn't 30 min long but I'm counting it! (may I?!) I also took the stairs at work.. yay! feel the burn...
Day 4: Success. SOrry I didn't report in yesterday. I went to work and forgot to do it:) I was driving home this morning and a doughnut sounded soo good. BUt I will not do it:)
Day 5: Success. Tough day but I made it through with no sweet treats.
Day 5: check, no treats, it seems like its getting a little easier, my sweet tooth wasn't as strong today
Day 5: ran for the 3rd time this week, no candy, and did not eat after 7:30pm. Hopefully you got my report from day 4 on the same post as day 3 was made. So 5 days of success! It is getting easier...
Day 5: Still no sweets! I love myself! haha I really cant believe I am able to do this. Me, the girl who used to eat brownies and cookies (or any dessert) for breakfast if they were around! Thanks everyone who is doing this, it helps me so much even though i dont know most of you:) I feel accountable and i need that. Plus its fun to read everyones comments and feel satisfied for you too! Keep it up... please
opps! The Michael above was really me...
Day 5: Success!! I would have checked in lat night, but I fell asleep on our couch last night at 9 (we're so wild on the weekends...ha!). Yesterday was so easy. After dinner last night my hubby suggested going to get ice cream, but I said no and it wasn't even hard! It didn't even sound good. Wahoo!!!
Day 5: I was so sad at the thought of staying in last night because usually when we don't have plans I wield my baking prowess and whip up a sugary, culinary masterpiece. To sate my appetite I looked for Mediterranean diet desserts and I actually found a few. So we made dinner and then crashed. And I never even made my dessert. It was just the thought that counted after all. Now I feel really empowered. Bring. it. on.
I withstood the doughnuts today and grabbed an apple. My love handles better start shrinking.
Day 6:no candy, no eating after 7:30pm Completed my 3 runs for the week and certified my butt off all day. I need to have a pep talk with myself though...I tend to eat more during the day knowing I will not be eating after 7:30pm.
Day 6: Ate at Texas Roadhouse for dinner and I had 2 rolls with honey butter which is probably the equivalent of eating 2 doughnuts, so today may qualify as a fail. I just couldn't resist those heavenly rolls sitting right in front of me. I resisted at 1st but it was absolute TORTURE and I couldn't take it
Day 6: Had some fruit salad that was not technically sugar free (cool whip and marshmallows) but skipped cake/icecream at a birthday party and all the chocolate/treats at a Womans Expo (and there was LOTS) - so I'm still feeling pretty good about the day. I also have noticed a big difference in my mood this week - really even and positive and not the up and down I usually experience. This sugar-free challange has been a big eye opener to see all the different ways sugar affects me!
Day 6: done and done.
Day 6: Success! Didn't eat after 8 tonight and while I was worried it'd be hard, it's really not. This is getting easier. Love it!
Day 6: Success! No sugar/sweets and no diet coke/soda. I think it'll get easier from here now that I have finally gotten home from a long week work trip and have a bit more control over my food and prep.
Day 6: resisted all temptations in the size of cupcakes, whipped cream, white rolls, butter, candy...you name it. No cheating here!
Day5 and 6: no sugar. I am craving it especially after three nights at work but i will not give in. Those cake balls were sooo tempting, but i atayed strong:)
Day 7: Total Success! Teeth are brushed so the cheesecake brownies that I made for the family are not a temptation. I don't know what it is about baking on Sunday that I love so much!
