Daily Dose

This is the best head shot I have ever taken.  It was done with one of my cheapest phones.  I have been happy with it like forever.  The point of this post is to successfully type 300+ words every day for the next 100 days.  It has become a part of the yearly personal challenge started in November 2014 and the launch of the 100 days project XX(20);  Part of the plan is to chronicle the changes.  Not quite sure if this the correct number, but I like it.  It is even and pretty close since I came up with the idea of using the 100 days.  Everything takes a plan, so I will type what I will be doing.  I have mentioned them before, the daily challenge service by Me You Health.   The company is established in Boston MA.  They have been encouraging people to live, achieve and maintain heathier more fulfilled lives since 2009.  A relative got me hooked through Facebook and for about six months, I was really good at keeping up with the various healthy challenges.  But somewhere I fell off the bandwagon. 

I decided to get back on the wagon with Daily Challenge and Me You Health without Facebook.  I have three reasons, first the challenges are simple; second they have good information; third it is generally fun.  I will also be adding an exercise routine from The Gym Box with Roku.  I have super big TV; I use it mercilessly to watch a whole season of television via Netflix, Hulu and Crackle.   I have been threatening myself for months now about joining the Gym Box.  Instead of just doing the short half routines they have up to entice people into becoming a paying member.    It is ten dollars a month.  I could do worse.  I had an actual gym membership for 8 months and I paid every month and never attended the gym ever.  That was very stupid of me and a colossal waste of money.  With Gym Box I can practice an exercise routine from the convenience of my own home.  Tomorrow I will be typing about motivation.  I am sensing that motivation will be an issue for me.  So I need to face it head on. I know I have other issues I will have to confront.  I will type more about this later.

This just in.  I learned some other woman is using the  100 days model.  She is bolder than me.  She has a work out video and it has gone viral.  I have never seen them but that is what Yahoo said.  I don't know how I feel about it.  If she is successful in her efforts, I should be happy but I think I will be jealous.  She is achieving in something I am having trouble with for years.  How to maintain the 100 days.

Last month,  I decided to work on eating a 1600 calorie day meal plan.  I failed miserably when at 7:30am, January 9, 2014, 7 jelly-top, cream-filled cookies made their way to my stomach.  The British call them jammie dodgers.  Yes, I am blaming the food b/c they can't talk back.  2 of those bad boys are 140 calories.  So before I had my morning coffee, I  was down 490 calories.  This has been a dilemma for me.
 This week I was seduced by the Tex/Mex dish known as haystacks.  This dish can be made in a variety of ways. However, I went the non-healthy route, using ground turkey, regular tortilla chips and whole milk sour cream and store-bought guacamole.  I haven't counted the calories.  I know that they are horrendous.

1600 calories are hard for me.  I know I have to work to get the body  I want.  I am just reluctant about that work.  I am so frustrated about my lack of motivation.  This week coming is all about motivation.  I lack motivation and I don't think about the important tasks I have to do to achieve my overall goals.  In fact, this is Wednesday and the rest of this week will be about motivation as well.   I also owe this blog to another post.  I want to complain about my work or the lack of it. But won't do it today.  Distractions.
