Working on working out
Some news:
Once everything is finalized I will post a summary.
Now that that is out of the way..... what am I doing to get skinny?
Funny you should ask!
I have decided (among many other thinifying measures) to finally complete Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred.
I have started and abandoned this dvd on a number of occasions. I have never even seen Phase Three because, dude, when you can't lift your arms after Phase 1, want to puke after skipping to Phase 2 because it haaaaaas to be easier. Anything is easier than Phase 1., Phase 3 is just too frightening to contemplate. Hells No.
Right, so after mustering all of my courage (read: stupidity) I decided that if I was finally going to give hitting my goal weight a go, I might as well go all the way down Dumb Lane.
Today was Day 3 of 30. The good news? I am able to lift my arms above my head again! Hurrah! The bad news? Oh. My. God. I still have 27 days of this hell. Also, my butt is KILLING me. I would have thought that running would have toned my tushy.... turns out no. I have sad. I tried sitting on the keyboard so that my rear could complain for itself but all that happened was a Great Mushing of The Keys that I'm pretty sure that only others butts could decipher. With that in mind I will translate.
OUCH!!!!!
Also:
STOP DOING THIS TO ME!!!
My bum is pretty vocal. Just like the rest of me!
I would like to think that three days in I am getting stronger. It's really hard to say for sure. I am definitely starting to loathe Jillian. She and I have a very strange love/hate relationship. I hate her for 20 minutes a day when she is on my tv, I love her the other 23 hours and 40 minutes. She doesn't know I exist. I told you, strange.
If WHEN I get to Phase Two I will let you know! Also, if any of you are dumb enough willing, you are welcome to join me!!
- Two of us have officially picked our goals.
- We have a fourth "contestant" (yes, that's right, contestant should be in quotation marks because we are truly on competing against ourselves/the scale.) My seriously sweet cousin!
- We are very close to sorting out the financial consequence of failure. E-mail me, people!
Once everything is finalized I will post a summary.

Not a New Year's Resolution. It's a Challenge, people!
This is the Great Weight Loss Challenge of 2012! This is how it works:
1. Goal weight is selected
2. Time line is agreed upon
3. Consequences are scary enough to keep everyone in line
4. Off we go!!!
The idea isn't to win or beat anyone else. The purpose of the challenge is to motivate the competitors. The consequences are dire enough to keep you from your favourite ice cream snack. The ideal outcome is for all of us to lose our weight.
For example, if the consequence is paying $100, if you don't hit your weight loss goal you must cough up $100 bucks. If the other people did hit their goals then they share your moneys and rejoice. If they didn't, they also cough up their big bucks and feel very sad. If no one meets their ideal weight the money goes straight to charity.
Here's the deal. There is myself (Everyday Superhero), one of my closest friends and my wonderfully hilarious cousin trying to get down to our goal weights. Finally. I don't know about the other two (actually I do, mostly) but I have NEVER hit my ideal weight. Well, not since I was morphing from child to adult, and seriously, it didn't really count.
To keep myself and the other girls in line we've firmed up the above criteria. Okay, fine, two of us have firmed up the criteria. I'll get right on sending that e-mail. As soon as I'm done here. Then I will post the facts of the challenge.
The secondary Keep You Honest plan is (obviously) this blog. All three of us can post. At the very least we will be posting our progress throughout the challenge. It can take any form (ie. For those of us who are hobos (you know who you are!) there might only be sporadic weight updates). Considering my ridiculous penchant for communication, I will be updating weekly (at least!) with my weight, probably a picture of my fat (or lack there of! Hopefully!) and much complaining about the exercise in which I am forced to partake. You have been warned!
