What Would William Wallace Do? April 30, 2010

What would William Wallace do? He would step up to the challenge and commit to become a Weekend Warrior! That is what I am doing too. It is that time again. Time for the third edition of the Weekend Warriors Challenge . This time the theme for the challenge is Braveheart. William Wallace, err……Brandon, over at So Long, Fat Ass! is the man behind the challenge and he does a great job of keeping everyone up to date with who is taking part in the challenge and links to their posts about it.
Here is how The Weekend Warriors Challenge works.
I have had a really stressful month this April, and I really want to get off to a good start in May. The past 4 days have been better, but up to that point, April was not my greatest shining moment. With that in mind, I am looking forward to make May great, and this challenge will be step number one.
The number 3 has been popping up a lot lately for me. Earlier in the week when I was feeling down, Craig from My Life, Take Eight suggested that he and I strive to get three miles in this week. I found some motivation and decided to take it a step further. This was the week that I was going to commit to doing the C25K running program. I am hoping that the third time is the charm for this. I started this program twice before earlier in the month, but never made it past day 1. This week was different. I have completed days 1 and 2 of the program, and I am feeling ok so far. Maybe the third time will be the charm for me and I can make progress as I try to become a runner. I want to be a runner, but not yet. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Here are my goals for the Weekend Warrior Challenge.
1. Finish week one of C25K on Friday evening.
2. Drink at least 80 ounces of water each of the three days. This is an ongoing struggle for me on the weekends for some reason.
3. Stay away from the sweets this weekend. No cookies, no cakes, not even a candy bar. I have indulged my sweet tooth more than a few times during the last month, and I want to go without to start the month.
Those are my three goals for the Challenge. Now if I can just squeeze in some time to watch Braveheart…………..
Good luck on your goals, warrior!!!!
Hey Scott, glad to have you joining us for the challenge again! You’ve got some great goal lines up for yourself for the weekend. I think the no sweets is a great idea. I know if I eat too much of anything sweet, or any sort of junk food really anymore, it just makes me feel like crap.
Good luck this weekend, I look forward to hearing about your results Monday!
