100 Day Challenge 62/100

I’m over halfway through the challenge and things are going well for the most part.
1. Create and maintain healthy eating habits – I’m finding and trying new recipes on a weekly basis, so it’s making it fun and delicious at the same time. I started a new recipe binder that has all of my healthy and yummy recipes in it so they’re not mixed in with the rest of my millions of recipes.

2. Run 20 miles each week- this one is just okay. I’ve reached the goal some weeks and barely made it on others. I’m still trying each week though!

3. Lower BF % - I really thought I would struggle with this one, but it’s actually going very well! I’ve not only lowered it, but have been able to maintain it! I’ll give the final % lost at the end of the challenge!

20 Miles/week goal for last week:

10/18 Monday – Goal Rest – accomplished
10/19 Tuesday – Goal 4mi – 4 accomplished

10/29 Friday – Goal 4mi
10/30 Saturday – Goal rest
10/31 Sunday – Goal rest

I had a very good reason for skipping my Thursday workout this past week. A friend went in to labor, so I was at the hospital from 1:30PM – 12:30AM… Look how precious Lilly Grace is…

Challenge Update 16/100

Here are the updates on my 100 day challenge with Courtney from Run, Courtney, Run:
My goals for the challenge are:


1. Create and maintain healthy eating habits
I'm still doing good on this one. Not as good as I'd like to be, but good none the less :)

2. Run 20 miles each week
I should have hit my goal last week but I didn't. With family activities toward the end of the week and over the holiday weekend, it didn't happen. This week, I'm a sure hit though. I'm already at 14, I have a 5K on Saturday, and I'll just have to get 3 more miles in somewhere else.

3. Lower my body fat %
Well, the number hasn't gone up, so that's a good thing right?!?

Challenge Update – Day 9/100

Here are the updates on my 100 day challenge with Courtney from Run, Courtney, Run:

My goals for the challenge are:

1. Create and maintain healthy eating habits

I’m doing really well on this one!!! My mom’s birthday party was this past weekend so I had 2 pc of pizza, small sprite, 2 small pc of cake and half a cupcake. Other than that, the rest of my days have been good. It’s amazing how good you feel when you eat clean. I felt miserable after I ate all that stuff. I have more energy when I eat clean and I don’t have as many tummy problems (EXTRA BONUS!!!)

I usually have issues on portion control. So lately I’ve just been saying no to things I know I will not stop eating until I’m super stuffed (peanut butter and chocolate fudge/brownie goodness). Since all of this is new, I want to hold off a little bit until I think I have more control. I figure I will allow myself to indulge a little bit once or twice a month

I tweeted about this, but maybe one of my blog readers will know the answer. I gave up drinking (skim) milk because it hurt my stomach. I switched to Almond Milk and it’s still hurting my stomach. Any idea what it could be from?

2. Run 20 miles each week

I’m doing okay on this one. Last week I was a little short. This week, I’ve run 10 miles in 2 days, so I think I will hit my goal. YAY

3. Lower my body fat %

This one is going to be a slow process. I know scales are not very accurate for this, but that’s what I’m using to measure. The scale says I’m slightly lower than I was when I first started, so it’s a move in the right direction.

QOTD: How often do you let yourself ‘indulge’ in regards to food?
