Proclamation: It's a loverly day in the Royal Neighborhood, though early in the a.m. and Empress Amarantha of the Walking Poles can't sleep because it is hot ... so she has proclamath her challenge early for today because it is the FIRST DAY OF HER ROYAL LIFE. So just for today, she's challenging herself to:
One: Bring a playful spirit to her usual Sunday weigh-in, which is sure to be an all-time high one, but the Queen doesn't care, just needs to get the facts. Weight gain is reversible ONE DAY AT A TIME!
Two: Rededicate herself to her (dare she say the word?) DIET! Ya-hoo! It is liberating just to say the word. The Queen has reached a conclusion that DIETS DO WORK (but they have to be healthy and sustainable).
Three: Do one hour of pole walking, broken into as many segments as needed.
Four: Eat a reasonable amount of calories. On a future ONE DAY CHALLENGE, the Queen, should she choose to accept it, will challenge herself to post a preplanned menu and challenge her imperial self to stick to it.
Five: Come back to this thread for a SHORT late report on compliance with today's plan as outlined in Points 1-4, but not post any irrelevancies, self-blame, excuses or whining. It is time for FOCUS! (Free Ourselves ... from weight ... 'Cause it's US ... and we're great)
Be it known: All and sundry folk from queendoms in the vicinity are welcome to likewise post ONE DAY challenges here BUT the queen begs them to come back and report at the end of the day. Also, no competition or disrespect is meant to the Blockette thread nor any other (nor eDiets from whom Amarantha, er, derived the idea of the ONE DAY CHALLENGE).
