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!

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.
