100 Day Challenge?
so i gained alot of weight over a couple months (vacation) and now would like to get to my goal weight. I woul need to lose 10-15lbs. it’s not just about weight. i would like to increase my flexibility, gain strength, and get 2 new pole moves. i would like to see how healthy i can eat as well. so basically i found a scrap of magazine I had ripped out a while ago that says "100 Day Health & Wellness Challenge" …
it doesn’t say anything else so I guess we could make our own "rules" and see what kind of results we can get.
I was thinking it could go like this (although totally open to suggesstions)
1) If you feel comfortable w posting your stats, weight, or how many lbs you want to lose or gain, what moves you are currently trying to get that you would like to have accomplished within the 100 days ( pole or push ups, or anything) if not you can always keep your stats to yourself and just join in w recipes, suppourt etc
2) once a week you check in and just give a run down on what’s working for you, what’s not ( maybe walking after dinner is working, but working out during commercials is not etc) and to just give us a general update
3) again IF you feel comfortable, take and post a Day 1 photo to be compared at Day 100. you could even post a vid of moves your working on to compare w progress at the end.

Awesome! What a great way to support each other. I am a terrible eater so am looking forward to seeing some healthy recipes, without fish of course https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Now just to set the goals hey? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

yes setting goals will be important to stay motivated and track progress. goals can be anything you want as long as it’s health/fitness related. Sept 1 starts it officially, but started today myself. did 5 flights up and down, 20 mins cardio, 5-7 mins stretching, (all at work overnight) and just came home and did a 30 min boxing dvd that had me DRIPPING sweat! i also had oatmeal instead of poptarts, and toasted only half of my whole wheat jumbo bagel ( w PB yum!)
ok so here are my goals for the 100 Day challenge :https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif shop for healthy food every fri after work ( eat alot of junk on weekends bc by than food is running low)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif use a partial menu plan for week/weekend ( can’t plan every last meal everyday, but can plan what will have for breakfeast and dinner ( lunch can be what i feel in moderation)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif push-ups and pull ups every other day ( 20 push ups, 8 pull ups)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif 20 mins cardio and stretch every night i work ( helps the time pass!)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif pole 2x week ( have been slacking so bad since hot weather hit)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif get back to 140 and my little 2 pack!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif end of every 2 weeks ( as long as did well) get a massage (never had 1 professionally and know this would be a nice reward for hard work)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif achieve CW/ HS, Jacknife, Pencil mount, and do Rubber Pencil (wo cheating! )
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif continue to keep a food journal ( but actually keep it going on the weekends! )

also I am writting all my goals down on a paper and putting it on my fridge so i can keep in mind what my goals are. ok here is something i LOVE eating too : vanilla nonfat yogurt w cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. i add mixed nuts for healthy fat and protien ( not to mention minerals and vitamin b and e) .. i think it is DELISH and filling. i also found that i like salad greens topped w watermelon small chunks and berries. adds sweetness and makes you so full from all the water content in the fruit! i used to eat a frozen pizza that was 1,200 calories ( yes im serious!) to 1 that is 425 cals. you really have to be careful w cals and serving size. the 1,200 cal pizza said it was 400 cals. A SERVING!!! ( turns out a serving was 1/3 of the pizza!) so i will weigh myself and take / post a pic of myself when get home after work later. i saw the pic i took for the toning thread and it’s hard to look at bc my abs were alot flatter.. will be there again and better though!! so i would say
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif post your stats (if you feel comfortable) like weight, measurments, what your working on as far as pole or other fitness goals, your avaerage energy level from 1-10 (w 1 being no energy at all, and 10 feeling like superwoman) so can see if your avaerage energy level goes up by day 100, and whatever goals you have so can monitor progress and be accountable. i posted my goals and tips on my fridge.
remember : SMALL DEEDS ARE BETTER THAN BIG INTENTIONS!!!! GOOD LUCK ALL! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

Im in – Lets do this!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

I’m in! I am almost 5 weeks in to a 90 day challenge on another (not pole related) forum and am down 18.5lbs and 20.75 inches so far!
Goals:
*continue to drink enough water- important because if I don’t I hang onto 2-4lbs of extra water weight!
*continue clean eating- currently 5 servings of lean protein+ low glycemic veggie and not much else
*continue workouts at the gym to burn fat and add muscle strength. I am currently doing 30-45 minutes of cardio and 45-60 minutes of weight training 4-5 times a weekI am 167 today and my final goal is to be somewhere that looks good on me, which I think will be between 130-145. I bought myself a pair of really hot jeans that I am working to get in to as a goal, not sure how much more I need to lose to meet that mini goal.

I’m in!!! I definitely need to get into lose weight and get into shape. Some of my goals are only for September and some are longer term. I will probably add goals as some of these become accomplished, but I want to achieve something first. My goals are:
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif To get back into my size 4 pants, dresses, and skirts
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif To not eat out more than 8 times in the month of September
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif To cook my own food
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif To decrease my intake of high fructose corn syrupI am already struggling with my second goal. I had set 8 times for the month (based on a suggestion from a friend) but I am now going out of town for Labor Day weekend. Therefore that is already 9 meals….HELP!!!
-
going out of town doesn’t have to mean eating out, bring something you can have for breakfast like cheese sticks and oatmeal(i don’t know where you’re staying but you can make darn good oatmeal in a hotel coffee pot, you can make anything in a coffee pot), bring a cooler with small things for snack and lunch and if you do any grilling that doesn’t really count as eating out right https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
-
I like the idea of bringing breakfast and I will definitely bring snacks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I think we are staying at an Inn, we haven’t really figured it out yet. The original plan was to go to Virginia Beach, but Earl did away with those plans. That plan would have been better bc the place we would have stayed has a kitchen…oh well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif I think I need to honestly talk to my traveling friend about my goal and see where that takes us….

Stats: 60kg and 172cm. Not looking at losing weight, rather, looking at increasing muscle tone and strength
Okay so I had a think and these are the goals
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Be able to complete 20 push ups without a break on my toes
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Be able to do the shoulder mount without kicking into it
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Be able to do the teddy bear (this might be a stretch though)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Eat healthier by incorporating more vegetables into meals and drinking more water (I tend not to drink any water, unless its in coffee, during winter)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Pole twice a week
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Increase flexibility – be able to sit in the splits on both legs
