Snakes & Ladders
Since I am definitely NOT an idiot, today I (thanks Argy *mwah*) printed out all the information I need for the Walking With Attitude "Drop a Jeans size in 6 weeks" challenge. This is an ongoing challenge which means if I start on the 19th September (the first official day) my 6 weeks starts from there. If I start on the 29th September, my 6 weeks starts then. And so forth. I am going to start on the 19th September. I know that I will be in Adelaide for the 20th - 25th Sept, and probably again from the 17th October but I will still complete my challenge. And it works in perfectly with the "Bloggers in Joggers" (more info on that over the weekend *quivers with excitement*)
This challenge looks different to the last one in that it talks about focussing on specific activities that they will set me for the week. They are using terms like 'Interval Walking', 'Intensity Walking', and 'Pyramid Walking'?? I think I am getting scared. LOL. The theme of the challenge will be based on Snakes and Ladders so I am sure there will be some twists along the way. To keep track of what I am set to do, and what I achieve each day, I am going to have a section on my post dedicated to this challenge. That way the information will always be there for me to use in the future. The little pieces of paper I have downloaded to carry in my wallet will be great on a day to day basis but in the long run they will end up with all my other little pieces of paper - lost!!
As part of the challenge they provide a pledge to print out, fill in, and sign. There is also a space to fill in what you are going to reward yourself with. My Pledge is:
I'm excited :D

I, M, for the next 6 weeks have chosen to commit to the 'Drop a Jeans Size' Challenge with Attitude because..Did I just say size 12 jeans!!!!! Whooo hoooo what fun. So Michelle and LMS (who I know are registered wwa'ers) lets get going.
* I want to do this - I know I can do this!
* I deserve to feel good about myself.
* I know I am happier when I take better care of myself, which includes walking regularly.
* My body & mind will feel healthier and I will have more energy to enjoy the things I love.
* The benefits that come from completing this challenge will be greater than just having an awesome butt (but that's pretty good too)
My reward will be a new pair of size 12 jeans for committing to the challenge for the next 6 weeks.
I know I can do this!
I'm excited :D
I am excited for you too! And I am contempleting registering too, but I am scared to pay anything online (had a bad incident a few years back).
But it looks so challenging and motivating now that I am a pedometer freak!
I will discuss it with hubby during the weekend and see ...
Enjoy your weekend with just your little boy!!!
*hugs*

I decided yesterday to do it as well M. I don't know what a smalller size would be for me so might have to go and try on some in the shop. I will also start on the 19th so we can help each other along the way.

Great challenge!! I am a registered wwa'er and have joined up also. I did the Winter Challenge and found it great - it motivated me to do a half marathon in August. Thanks for all your posts I find them so inspiring!!
