It’s that time again!
Brandon from So Long, Fat Ass is hosting another Weekend Warrior Challenge! This will come in especially handy for some people, as Easter Weekend, with its big family dinners and abundance of Chocolate Bunnies, is a time where weight loss can fly right out of the window.
I’m a little late in my Challenge posting, but I very much wanted to participate. Hopefully my website won’t crash this time 
Here are my goals for the weekend:
- Run/walk/jog 20 miles. I need to at least run 3.53 miles by Saturday in order to have 20 miles of running under my belt for the week. The rest is just fat free, low calorie icing on the fat free, low calorie cake!
- Eat conservatively. I’m going over both my aunts and my moms house, so I probably won’t be able to track the calories, so the goal here is basically to remember that I AM TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. So keep the chocolate bunnies to a minimum.
- One strength training session. Oh man, I am sucking so much at this. My participation in 100 pushups, 200 situps, and 200 squats is floundering, and I’m not doing much otherwise. So I’ll push for one this weekend, and go from there. Ugh.
So that’s what I’m trying for, and I’ll report back on Monday.
What about you? How are you going to try to stay healthy over Easter Weekend?
Have a great day, everyone!

PS – If you can, I would like to encourage you to throw some support at David from Running…Because I Can, who is taking part in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. I find that to be kind of awesome, and would love to be able to run for a cause in the near future too. You can visit his pledge page here or get more information on his blog. WooT!
Great challenge…especially since weekends seem to derail so many on their healthy habits they practice all week long.
Hi ya!

Anywho – I am taking my kids geocaching (www.geocaching.com) this weekend…. we will be hiking in the woods and having some awesome family outside time…. Hopefully it will be a great calorie burner so on Sunday we will not feel guilty eating too much…
We went hiking at Chimney Rock 2 days ago and I am still feeling the burn of the steps (pics in my blog) so I need to work out the soreness…
Love your blog…. Awesome job you have done with your weight loss…

I’m definitely trying to stay on track this weekend! For one thing i’m working all weekend but i am doing an Easter dinner on Monday. I have already planned my food for that day which includes wine and one small cadbury cream egg.
Will be doing my usual walking with sprints and i plan on picking up some weights
Have a great Easter Steve!
Great, realistic goals! I like the 20 miles! That’s a healthy number to move through! I need to do something like this too.
For every chocolate bunny you consume, you owe me a bite of banana. Deal???
It is awesome how goal oriented you are. You’re a great voice in the focussed weight loss community online here. For me, this weekend will be the normal strategy – no soda, limited processed sugar. Beer and meat consumption will hopefully go towards my muscle goals. haha. Mostly just trying not to think about the iPad. haha again.

These are some great goals, I hope they go well for you! As you said, training can be tough, but if you find you’re struggling a little bit just visualize yourself doing one more push up, or sit up, or squat. Use the vision to empower you to keep going. Best of luck!
You’ve got some great goals set for yourself! Good luck with the challenge! I’m doing it too!!!

Thanks for the shoutout. Now if everyone who has left a comment donated just $5, that would be another mile to run.
Have a great weekend!
Good luck with your challenge goals this weekend, Steve!!! Show the chocolate bunnies who’s boss!
