100 Days to Christmas Challenge

I know it’s been awhile since I posted and thank you to Kari for sending me an email with her concern for my absence. I’ve had a few days off work and never really sat down at the computer for long. How great is that!

I have a lot of wonderful ideas on how to improve and expand my submission to Master and just need to get them going, now that the stress of moving and distaste of the old place is all over with. I feel a lot better now that that hurdle is all over.

I’m starting a challenge on FetLife for health and fitness in the Healthy and Kinky Group. This one is 20lbs or 20inches by Christmas and it starts Monday. As a part of this I am going to develop motivational ideas and exercise ideas to help me stay on target. i’m going to be taking a nude picture of myself and posting as my starting photo so that I can see changes while I make the lifestyle changes I need to lose weight correctly. I found someone’s idea to use a deck of cards to exercise was a great idea to put some fun and variety in their routine. This is for strength training and you can pick and chose what exercises you want for each suit

Exercise Card Game

The Suits:

Spades = Pushups

Hearts = Squats

Diamonds = Windmills

Clubs = Leg Raises and Crunches

How to play:

To begin with remove the Ace through 5 of each suit. This is your beginning deck. Shuffle them (Ace-5) up thoroughly. Pick the top card and begin! The number on the card is the number of reps per exercise. This game allows the different exercises to be mixed up so you don’t fall prey to a set routine.

After a couple of weeks add the 6. And so on until you are using all the cards.

Remember to walk at least 20 minutes a day also. This can be broken up into smaller chunks if you need to do so, until you are able to walk the time uninterrupted.

I know that some of you are thinking, ‘here she goes again’ and ‘nothing she does seems to work’. I know that watching me not lose weight is boring, but one day I will suprise myself and start losing. Hopefully this challenge that I’m leading on FetLife will get me going.

I’ve visted the Dr again on Tuesday to go over the blood test for thyroid we retook in August. The number was still low, but the same. So… he’s hesitant to diagnose hypothyroidism since it’s a lifetime diagnosis with medication forever. We will revisit this test in November and see if the number stays the same or fluctuates to make a better decision. Other than that he’s ready to see the anti-depressants help me get the movitation I need to lose weight. I guess that means it’s my turn ;P
