Hot 100 2010

Wow, 100 days left of the year and Steve is putting on another HOT 100 starting today! I remember signing up for this last year and having so much fun with it and meeting tons of wonderful people here in blogland.

As per most challenges there are rules and part of this one is to list at least 3 goals you want to accomplish. Usually I add a weight loss goal - one that lists lbs lost. I am not doing that this time because the pounds lost aren't as important to me right now as getting my mind and body into the right place.

I've created a page with my goals listed so that I can easily review them (my sidebar is cluttered enough). So based on them, I will being doing an update every week on what I am doing to accomplish those goals. This will also help me in accomplishing my organization goal. Keeping a tab on them helps me keep it going.

So here they are for my opening Hot 100 post:
  1. Nuture my Body, Soul & Mind
    • I really need to spend some Me, Myself & I time every day and focus on grounding myself. When I am not grounded I find I swing all over the place. I'm unorganized, stressed, a little more negative towards myself and possibly judgemental to others.
  2. Put 110% effort into my 3x strength training sessions, and 3x Interval cardio sessions
    • In the last 2 years, I do not feel like I have worked at my hardest during my workouts. I've just been going through the motions. Now somedays my body aches, and my muscles are sore but I still feel I could do more. I am going to try to do my absolute best without burning myself out. And in order to not burn out, I need to make sure that goal #1 is a priority.
  3. 90/10 rule for eating.

    • 90% of the time I want to eat organic, clean, healthy meals. As few chemicals as possible. 10% (or less) of the time will be my leeway. Those times where either the supply isn't available or I just need a "free" meal. I loathe to grant myself a free "DAY" as I can quickly undo everything I have gained during the previous six days of eating 100% on track.
  4. Track at least 10,000 steps every single day.
    • Everyday is not too much of a stretch. Even on easy days where all I want to do is walk, then I will walk 10,000 steps worth. That's only about an hour of walking really. It can be done.

  5. Stop being wasteful.
    • Sometimes at the end of the week I throw out more bad fruit and veggies than I should be. I need to learn to only buy what I need for a couple of days and then make sure I eat it. I hate waste and I sometimes over-buy a product and it goes bad by the time I eat it. I live close to a groccery store so I should only buy a couple of days worth.
I hope everyone has  FANTASIC day!

  1. Great goals Sandra. I especially like the last one. I too am guilty of throwing out too many perishables. It's such a tricky balance when there's only two in the house. Buy enough for a week or buy enough for a few days which means an extra trip to the grocery (dislike!).

    As I told someone yesterday, after weeks of throwing produce away, I bought less for this week. Guess what? Mr. Helen has wanted a salad every day. Sigh.

  2. Hi, I came over from the Hot 100...looking forward to tracking your success! I am impressed with your goals, very all-encompassing. Mine all involve weight loss, probably because I am obsessed with losing weight (and not good obsessed sometimes).

  3. I really like your goals, too! I hadn't even thought about the one, not being wasteful! That happens to me... I want to work on that, too.

    Glad to see you are a Hottie, too!

  5. Welcome to the challenge. I love all of your goals especially the first and last goal. I'm a culprit of not taking care of myself spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I hope you are successful in all of your goals and I can't wait to follow them.
