Busting my own slump. Sounds kind of dirty, doesn’t it?
Where did everyone go? How do we get our momentum back?
My challenge to myself this week: NO FAST FOOD. AT ALL. ZERO. I’m not worrying about my exercise because I get enough of that with my training plan for running club.
The fast food is my biggest issue and I need to deal with it.
What’s holding you back?

I’m going for a perfect day today? Any joiners?
No ifs, ands or buts. No doing it tomorrow if I fuck it up today. PERFECT DAY. TODAY.
What constitutes a perfect day for you?
Mine = meals on plan, healthy sacks, NO FAST FOOD and some form of exercise (though not running for me today because it is a running rest day).
I have dinner and a movie scheduled with girlfriends tomorrow night, here at my house. I’m attaching my reward/penalty to that.
My reward: if I have a perfect day today, I am drinking red wine and eating dessert after dinner with my girlfriends tomorrow night.
My penalty: if I louse up my perfect day, no wine AND no dessert tomorrow night.
COME ON CHICKS, WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Angelina? Where are you? Come on, sister, and bust our slumps.
Oooh, that sounded kind of dirty, didn’t it? hee hee.
I did not make my perfect day last week on Thursday or Friday. But I SWEAR I AM NOT LYING, my camera? isn’t working. I let DD10 take it on a field trip last week (I know, what was I thinking?) and now, SURPRISE, it doesn’t work.
So the internet will be spared my back fat… for now.

It’s Wednesday, so how about a lil’ mid-week challenge?
It doesn’t matter how you’ve done so far this week. Have you had a crappy week? Fuh-get about it. Have you had an awesome week? Well, yay for you! Shut up. Leave the rest of us alone, will ya’? Just kidding, jeez.
So here’s the challenge: THE PERFECT DAY! Whatever that means for you food wise and activity wise. ONE PERFECT DAY, tomorrow, Thursday. PERFECT. Are you up for it?
For me, the perfect day means no fast food, breakfast/lunch/dinner and snacks that are “on plan” (total of about 1200 calories), having fresh veggies with at least one meal and at least 45 minutes of exercise. Since Thursday is a rest day for me from my marathon training schedule, I’m going to shoot for yoga.
If you blow it Thursday, shoot for it Friday. Come on, you’ve got TWO CHANCES here.
And here’s a little challenge to make it interesting: exercise a neglected part of your body sometime in the next two days. For me, it’s going to be upper body. I have totally given up on any kind of arm/shoulder/back exercises in the last few months. For you it might be abs or your booty or your calves. Whatever that part is that you haven’t been working? Go to google and find a couple of good toning exercises and do them.
The penalty? Well, if you don’t have a perfect day, the penalty will be the guilt and sadness you will feel when you see all of us chicks bragging about ours. And as far as the exercise goes, how about we post some pics? Because, seriously? You guys DO NOT want to see my bat wings. And don’t EVEN get me started on the back fat. Eeek.
And of course there will be a bitchin’ blog award for you to post. I’ll work on it tonight when I’m on my cool Mac laptop in bed, because I can’t do squat on this antique PC.
WHO’S IN?
