Weekend Warriors Strike Back (again...?)

Apr 092010

It’s that time again, time for another Weekend Warriors Challenge!

Oh wait, there isn’t actually another challenge this weekend? D’oh!

NO BOTHER! Craig over at My Life, Take Eight was a bit bummed about not doing well on Brandon’s last Weekend Warriors Challenge, so he is doing it again this weekend.  In a show of support, Erin and I (and maybe a few more?) have decided to do it again with him!  And honestly, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do it again anyway, because weekends are still very troublesome to me.  This way I will have something to work towards. :)

So here are my goals for this weekends challenge:

  • Run/Walk/Jog 20 miles. I didn’t quite make this goal last weekend, but I came close. I’m a bit worried, only because both my run yesterday and my second run Wednesday (caution: both links contain whining) were less than spectacular, but I plan to rest today and get back into it full force tomorrow. WooT!
  • One round of Yoga.  I’ve only been Yoga once before on this journey, and that’s when I was trapped in my apartment due to Snowmageddon.  It wouldn’t hurt to mix up exercise routines a bit, so I’ll go for another round this weekend.  I’ll be using the same YRG (Yoga for Regular Guys) DVD that I used before.
  • Average 1800 calories a day.  Something I should be doing anyway, but my calorie tracking has wavered a bit (ie, has stopped completely). I am going grocery shopping tonight, so I will have no excuse to NOT eat home cooked meals, where I can keep better track of the calories too.  So WooT to that.

What about you?  Any plans for the weekend?  Care to partake in another round of Weekend Warrior with us? 

Gotta thank Brandon of So Long, Fat Ass for creating this challenge, thus giving me motivation to kick ass 7 days a week. WooT!

Weekend Warrior

Mar 032010

Ya’ll have met Brandon, right?

He is the President/CEO/God Emperor of So Long, Fat Ass, where he is telling about his weight loss journey, which includes a 29.6 pounds loss so far.  Awesomesauce.

He’s also from Alaska, which means he lives in an igloo and has a pet polar bear.

And it’s littertrained!

 

Anywho, Brandon has come up with a Weekend Warrior Challenge.  This is way we can all push to keep up the healthy lifestyle on the weekends, which is a time when alot of us let things go to shit.

The objective is to give 2-3 specific and measurable goals…and try to attain them this weekend.  We then report on Monday whether we passed (YAY!) or failed (BOO!).

I’m always up for a challenge, and the weekends are very hard for me in regards to healthy living, so I’m in.

And with that said, here are my 3 specific and measurable goals:

  • Run/walk/jog 20 miles this weekend. The sidewalks are clearing up so I’m hoping to get in at least one long walk this weekend, and maybe even throw in some running (OUTSIDE!). WooT!
  • Keep my calories at  2000 (or less) per day. I’m going to base this on the average over the weekend, if I go over a bit on Saturday then I try to make it up on Sunday.
  • Complete my 100pushup, 200situp, 200squat endurance tests. Each challenge is calling for an endurance test at the end of this week before I move on, so I’ll aim to knock them out this weekend.
