I know I said I was going to update these every Wednesday, but I changed my mind. 
Mondays just make more sense since that’s my official weigh-in day. As I previously mentioned, I’m not “officially” part of this challenge, because I got in too late, so this is just for fun.
My goals were:
- No carbonated beverages. period. Success!
- Minimum of 3 hours of gym per week. Success! Spent just over 4 hours at the gym during Week 2.
- Cook dinner at least once per week. Fail. Didn’t cook anything this past week.
I feel bad that I didn’t cook any, but I hope to rectify that this week. I know what my problem is – lack of planning. Hopefully you’ll see a “success!” by that goal next week.
I’m going to up my gym goal; I’d like to get at least 5 hours worth of gym time next week. I’d also like to set a walking goal. Last week I walked a total of 9.75 miles! So, this week I’m going to aim for 12 miles. I’m also going to try to last 3 minutes on the elliptical (AKA Spawn of Satan). The most I’ve lasted so far is 2 min. 10 sec.
So my new Hot 100 Goals look like this:
- No carbonated beverages. period.
- Minimum of 5 hours of gym per week.
- Walk at least 12 miles for the week.
- Last 3 minutes on the Elliptical.
- Cook dinner at least once per week.

Hi Josie! Thanks for visiting my blog. We did, indeed start about the same time. Great goals for the Hot 100! I love to cook, so I’m curious about what’s stopping you from cooking? Is it your schedule or a dislike of cooking or something else entirely?
Two out of three isn’t bad, but not nearly as good as a perfect score. Great work this week! Let’s make next week even better.
Great stuff!!!
Jane, it’s a combination of things as to why I don’t cook. I worked in the restaurant industry for years before a career change in 2002. So cooking is the last thing I want to do when I get home. And I don’t get home from work till 6PM or later. My husband gets home around 4, so for us it almost works better that he cook. He usually cooks about 4 nights a week and we eat out the other days. I’ve just made it my personal goal to cook at least once per week because I want to try new ingredients, new recipes, and new cooking methods that are healthier, so taking control over some of the meals would be helpful I think.
Ah! So it’s not that you’re not eating home-cooked meals at all, but that YOU aren’t making them? That makes sense. I worked in food service for a long time, too, so I get where you’re coming from.
Yeah, I probably should have clarified a little more in my post because it does give the impression that we’re not eating home cooked meals at all. LOL I want to try to make Spaghetti Squash (a first) this weekend, so I’m getting all the ingredients now to make it happen.
