Challenge 2 started today

[Guest guest]

(warning, long. I'm posting this so I will be accountable!)

Hi-

I'm starting up again today after a 2 week break following the end of

challenge 1. I'm glad to be back. Over the past 2 weeks, I've gone

to the gym only 4 times and have eaten about 70% clean I'd estimate.

But that was a planned time to relax a bit.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little less motivated this time around--BFL is

not all shiny & new anymore. I think I am going to report in to the

group for the first week until I get into the momentum once again.

Unfortunately, I can't lift on my right upperbody due to

tendonitis/bursitis. That bothered me, but I am not going to let it

trip me up mentally (I guess I'm kind of a perfectionist in that I

want to do the program exactly right). I realize this is only a small

piece of the program, which I am approaching as a lifestyle, not a

" diet. " So I'm going to focus more on educating myself about the

nutrition aspect a bit more until things heal up.

So here are my goals this time around:

1. Take my supplements (flax, multivitamin, calcium, and possibly

others to be added?)

2. Get enough sleep (I stay up too late--I'm also currently working on

managing my time better, so I won't feel I have to stay up late to do

what I need/want to do).

3. Stick to the eating plan in social " food " scenarios (i.e. upcoming

Valentine's day party @ DS' preschool).

4. Run a mile in under 9 min (at start of last challenge it was about

12 min, now I'm down to 10 1/2).

5. Reduce body fat % from 28 to under 24%.

6. Not reinjure my shoulder

Thanks for reading!

PS. For today as of almost 4pm, I've done my cardio this a.m. and

gotten 3 authorized meals in.
