If you’ve been following the blog for any length of time, then you’ll remember my failed attempt at 100 Days of Active last year. Last year, the idea was to be active everyday in the days leading up to my birthday.
Well, it didn’t happen. I tried. But not hard enough.
So, I’m bringing it back. For no other reason than to give me a good goal, and something to keep me moving.
I’ll be tracking it on here. But I’m not going to be doing it daily. I’ll check in once a week with my weekly activities, and weigh in.
Now you’re probably thinking “Is it 100 straight days?” and the answer is yes. The last time I tried this, I gave myself leeway to skip doing anything active on certain days. Which led to failure. Yes, my goal is something active everyday for 100 days.
30 minutes of activity every day for the next 100 days. Now, it doesn’t mean a hard workout every day. It could be something as simple as a lunchtime walk. But the idea is get me in the mindset of making time for exercise in a busy schedule.
This will run just about 14 weeks. I think it’s like 2 days over. So I’m planning out the first 8 weeks. Weigh in’s will be on Thursday, and the posts will be on Thursdays.
I like having a schedule. Otherwise, I can’t handle life.
The first 50-ish days of 100 Days of Active
Week 1: March 5 – March 11 (Yes. It starts tomorrow!)
Week 2: March 12 – March 18
Week 3: March 19 – March 25
Week 4: March 26 – April 1 – We leave for Las Vegas on March 30th. Essentially my 100 Days of Active for the days we are there, will be walking all over the strip. Seriously.
Week 5: April 2 – April 8 – We are back on April 4th from Las Vegas.
Week 6: April 9 – April 15
Week 7: April 16 – April 22
Week 8: April 23 – April 29
So for the first week or two, I anticipate being very cranky. More because I plan on trying to force myself out of bed in the morning to try to get a walk in on the treadmill when I can. And I really like sleep.
I hope you follow along. This will be a hard, but really good, challenge for me. I need it. I need to force myself to get active and doing something like this will remind me that it’s not about having time, it’s about making time.
I’ll be posting images throughout the challenge on instagram (follow me!) and will be using the hashtag #100daysofactive.
Wish me luck. Here we go!
