The 30 x 5 -100 Challenge!

I have finished the 30 x 5 -100 challenge! Yay! Before you start handing me out the blue ribbon of success, don't.

First, I will have to say, I am proud that once again, I tackled Linda's 30x5 challenge head on like a bull in a china shop, but the first go around I fizzed and the 2nd time, I did start with great gusto, fizzed a little, but finished with a hero's end!

But like Linda says, don't focus on the negative. The positive side is, that I did do, what I did!!

My challenge this time was not the 100 part, I actually did rather well, thanks to the gall bladder surgery and the terrible weekend stomach bug/food poisoning. I lost 7 lbs in three days, and trust me those three days, I was not tempted at all and by ANYTHING with caloric value!

Besides the stomach issues, I really did make good choices. I put thought into what I was eating and skipped somethings that I knew I should not eat. I really thought that this would be the hardest part, but it was really the easiest!

My challenge is actually finding the time to do the exercise, and when I found the time, getting my butt in gear to do it was the issue. I did start walking during this phase and last night, I stopped shy of three miles. My goal is to continue to this each day.

With that being said....thanks Linda! I look forward to your next challenge!
