Bringing it back old school

Ok, I'm only kind of bringing it back. I used to use this blog for race training, general whining, etc. I have obviously let it go by the wayside while I focused on other things like getting my law practice started up. Unfortunately, along with letting this blog go I let myself go as well, which is why I find myself on Day One of the Take Shape for Life Healthy Holiday Challenge. I have been getting healthy with Medifast and my health coach Lydia Wente for a few months now, but I have the new brilliant idea that if I do this competition and let my Type A, uber-competitive personality take over, I can be done with the brutal calorie deficits in eight weeks and go into maintenance. I am also going to try running again and I am scheduled for a 5k on October 14. Therefore, I am going to use this blog as follows:
1) to complain about everything I want to and not make all my friends hate me for it;
2) keep track of my point activities so that my health coach does not get sick of me;
3) try to get back in the habit of blogging in the hopes I transition from this more mindless drivel into actively blogging about law again and helping promote my business.
Wish me luck!

POINTS FOR SUNDAY 
YES • 1 pt/day for spending at least 5-10 minutes in uninterrupted quiet time
(I *WILL* learn to meditate if it kills me)
YES • 1 pt/day for drinking at least 90-100 oz of water
(or rather, I am at 72 and will be at 90 by the end of the night. This is way harder than I thought it would be)
YES 1 pt/day for getting at least 7 hours of sleep.
 (very easy to do when you went out drinking with friends the night before and slept in until 11am...probably not what the health coach had in mind but it technically meets the criteria!)
YES 1 pt/day for participating in at least 15 minutes of a healthy activity
(yes I went running and it was painful and embarassing, but I did intervals today)
 YES 1 pt/day for Journaling.
 (logged in Fitday and posted here)
YES 1 pt/day for commenting or posting in your regular client Facebook group.
 (it was not a very insightful comment but I *did* comment and I think I will enjoy doing that more)

Weight lost to date: 0 (it's day one, okay?!)
