whoo haaa

day: 4/30

so i have decided on doing a 30-day challenge where i will do the following:
- exercise everyday (weights, cardio, pilates, etc.)
- stay within my daily points range
- lose 5 pounds

well, how hard can that be, you ask? HA HA HA! speaking from experience, i would say around the one-month stage - i start to become (a) frustrated if i haven't lost weight, (b) lax on my food because i've been losing and think i can cheat and/or (c) tired of keeping track of what i'm eating... so i figured 30 days would be a good amount for me to work on and if things go well, i'll do another and another until i get to a point where i am happy with the results...

i have also updated my daily read list to include some pretty interesting blogs, one of them being 100 days... in less than 3+ months, she has managed to lose over 34 pounds which is something like 11 pounds a month! that is awesome and quite scary since she started at a higher weight and is now very close to where i want to be (145)... i don't know what kind of program she is doing but i'm going to keep reading because she's very motivating and maybe i could learn a thing or two... that's why i love jumping from blog to blog - you never know what tidbit of information you're going to come across and use in your daily life... and it may not even be weightloss related which is even better, like this one --> carrot divas...

and in other news, tonight i'll be bringing max (my cat) over to my boyfriends for the weekend and we'll see how him and norman (the new kitten) get along... i'm hoping things go well but if they don't, i will just have to believe they will after they get used to each other... i just hate it when people don't get along and its worse when it comes to animals, esp. mine... i hope that doesn't mean i'm going to be a super-protective mom... yikes!

happy thursday...
