Hi everyone! I am joining your commit to be fit challenge! I am very excited about being in different challenges as weight loss is a huge deal for me! I neeeeeeed to do this, its now or never!

My goals for this month are:

1. Lose 10 pounds in the month of October!
2. Decrease my junk food and fast by 75% (Only as a special treat and only on weekends)
3. Excerise! A foreign word to me! Excerise & lots of it!
4. Drink water like I never have before! & Green tea!
5. Fruit and Vegetables! Every day.
6. Stop hating myself, learn to love ME.

Welcome, Lisa! I hope you will find a form of activity that you'll enjoy!

1. p90x - pliometrics
2. walk 45m
3. Hiking in Forest Park 2 hrs
4. p90x - yoga x
5. off
6. Walk 45m. 300 workout for women.

The 300 workout looks interesting. I will modify it because there is no way I could do it as it is:

Squats x 50 at 70 lbs (ass to floor)
One Arm DB Snatch x 50 each arm at 15 lbs
Push Ups x 50 (male push ups, not the female version)
Sumo Deadlifts x 50 at 75 lbs
Pull Ups x 50 (at 80 lb offset)
Ab Waves x 50

I Just started today But so far

Oct 5: 30 mins walking (moderate intensity)
Oct 6: 40 mins walking (moderate intensity) + 10 min Jogging (Low-Med)
Oct 7: I plan to walk 40 mins (moderate) & 20 mins of Turbo Jam if I can find the DVD! And I plan to do High intensity with Turbo Jam!

Did my walk and ran some yesterday. I had a good day. Felt great, and happy. Today woke up with a headache and felt pretty blah all day. No walk today.

Saw one of my dr's yesterday who told me that any dr trying to tell me that I have multiple sclerosis off one mri, should not be taken seriously. He told me that I need to have a lumbar spinal tap and that it specifically tests for the antibodies and antigens that they find in MS. So, when I see the specialist on October 29, I will ask all about this. And, until I get a definite diagnosis, which for now, I have a "Maybe" diagnosis, I was told to not take the MS injections. So, it's a wait and see attitude and approach for now. I do want to be sure before I start treating for something that I may not really have.
