Intro to 100 Days of Sweat

I am not a fat man, by any means. I do think about my health, though, and often. A recent episode of "out of breath and sweaty" with minimal effort got me thinking - I don't often sweat. As I hang out with Flex Milligan and Lost 40 Johnson, I am inspired to not just be thin, but to be healthy - to have strong solid muscles, a healthy heart, a natural diet.

After much thinking and not a lot of doing, I have decided to begin a fitness program tailored to me. I don't have a lot of time, nor am I willing to make this a high enough priority to join a gym, take time away from my family, or invest in any equipment. What I do have time for - is to sweat.

So, I hereby set out to sweat. That's my goal - to sweat once a day, everyday, for the next 100 days. I have no mileage goals, nor do I have to sweat each day for a certain amount of time. I don't have to be able to bench 200 or have a low body fat percentage when I am done. Those types of goals may be in my future, but right now what will work is this one goal. Activities are open: skateboarding, run or jog, ride a bike, shag balls for the baseball team, soccer, the options are endless.

As I commit to sweating each day, I also commit to the following dietary guidelines. I will consume no:

• ice cream
• candy
• french fries
• chips
• crackers
• white bread
• soda

To sum up, here's what I'm going to do for the next 100 days:

1. weigh myself each morning and post daily
2. Sweat each day
3. Follow the food restrictions above
4. Eat at least one serving of vegetables daily
5. Take the physical fitness test once per week (http://www.adultfitnesstest.org/)
6. Read my Bible daily

So, off I go on my challenge.
