Detroit Free Press Marathon Training: Thing #4 Learned
Posted Jul 25 2011 12:00am
You may have heard about Ben Davis and his Do Life movement (if not you should check out his youtube video of his 120 pound weight loss ) and how he's putting together a life changing challenge for the first 12 weeks of 2012. I felt like I really stagnated physically in 2011 and so I'm signing up to Do Life in 2012! I want to get in better shape while really taking control of my health and wellness. I've been really bad about taking care of myself in grad school and I want to make a big focus on taking care of my health and wellness!
WEEK ONE CHALLENGES Assess, Resolve, and Act.
This Week's Quote: "You have to act your way into right thinking."
Assess yourself and write down your current stats in all five areas.
Right now I'm at 225, I want to be 217 by February 1.
I've been attending 1 time a week through the holidays.
Haven't been running since November.
Killer Abs workout has been done once.
I'm starting to track on SparkPeople again and have entered my one year goal!
By Monday night, get on the floor an do as many pushups as you can. Modified (from your knees) or regular. I did 10 modified pushups before my arms gave out. This makes me sad because I used to do 20 of them in my rotation with my trainer last summer.
Beginners: Do 120 minutes of exercise this week. I'm putting myself at beginner since I haven't been doing much of anything and my body shows it unfortunately! I will be so happy if I make the 120 minutes each week!
Identify your biggest excuse. I don't have enough time in the day! To circumvent this I should do the abs workout during commercial breaks.
Each night before bed, write four things you did well that day. I'm going to start a paper journal for this. Last fall I would write down three "wins" each day at work and I want to get back in the habit of this. Even if it's as small as drinking a water bottle each day or avoiding the candy bowl/snacks at work I should celebrate my wins!
I also wanted to try to track my progress in the challenge visually so here's my starting photos
I'm ready to Do Life in 2012, won't you join me?
