It's Amazing What You Can Do When You...

...try!

That gem came out of SBF Marji's mouth on Friday when we went for a celebratory 90 Day Challenge walk and even incorporated a bit of running!

That came about after SBC (Super Best Client) Jeanie Callen (aka "The Fitness Jeanie") made such a suggestion in my previous blog post.

Here is a key part, in case you missed it:

"I know the best friends in life are those that congratulate our successes and push us to do even more, so I'd like to pass along this tip for The 90 Day Challenge 2.0.

"While you are enjoying your walks in Balboa Park, try to spend at least five minutes really pushing yourself, I mean so much that you want to stop. This may even mean taking it up to a jog. I know you probably hate the thought of running, but adding some other challenge will help you accelerate your results. You don't have to do this every day. For starters, try it once per week. That's it!"

Nice and easy -- just the way I like it. Well, 5 minutes isn't quite what Marji and I did, but we did do a few minutes of jogging, and worked up a bigger sweat, so that works for me. I've been trying to walk faster and faster on my walks, too, just for those reasons Jeanie mentioned.

Marji and I both are ready for The 90 Day Challenge 2.0 to begin. Not that we've gone completely off kilter this week, but we've expanded our eating options and it shows, for me, in more tiredness and moodiness. Who knew that keeping it simple eating wise would make for a better life experience? Now I do!

Oh, one last thing, some updated measurements. Since Jan. 12, I have lost:

Neck: .25 inches

Upper arm: 1.25 inches

Chest: 2 inches

Upper waist: 3 inches

Lower waist: 3 inches

Hips: 1.5 inches

Thigh: 2.5 inches (Thank you, step classes!)

Whooo hooo!
