What Timing!
I want to give a quick shout out to all the recent hotties joining in the Hot 100! I am working a ton of hours right now, so I haven’t gotten around to many blogs yet, but I will! For those who haven’t joined in yet, now is the time! And if you are debating whether you should join in a challenge or not, this is the perfect challenge for you. The only pressure is the pressure you set. There is no requirement to meet your goals, just to give a weekly update, and the whole point is to make the end of the year better for all of us. It is designed so everyone can do it. If you slack off and blow it one week, pick the pieces up and start back strong the next week. In other words, quit waiting and join in!
I feel like the story for me never seems to change — at least not lately. Work sure doesn’t seem to be slowing down. I ran across something today that turned something pretty minor into something pretty big. That is going to basically add another week of work into an already busy schedule.
Eating has been fine this week. I cannot say it has been as good as the last two weeks, but it has been okay. Exercise, on the other hand, has been terrible. Jody, let me have it!
Remember, part of the Hot 100 is supporting others. Be sure you are out visiting the blogs of those who have already listed their goals. Yeah, I know it hasn’t officially begun yet, but there are quite a few people who have already started.
Only two more days until the official start date – help me get the word out! I think those who participated last year would agree that one of the best things about the Hot 100 was seeing so many people have such a positive end of the year.
Argh! 2 days!

I am going to post it on my recipe blog on my weekly favorites on Saturday so hopefully a bunch of readers will join!! The blogging world has been a HUGE motivation for me and I LOVE to visit other blogs and read and cheer and try to give strength. It so helps me.

Yikes, the official kick off is soon, huh? I am really excited for it to start again!
Oh, and you NEED to get some more exercise in, Mister.

I’ve put the image in my sidebar. Blogger still won’t let me post images. But I would like to join, in a modified way. I’m not entering the prize part, but I wanted to be connected with the challenge, if that’s okay.
There is just too much going on right now in my personal life, and I know I couldn’t give it the focus it deserves as far as reporting and following rules and keeping track, and all that.
So I’d like to do it in an informal way, with internal motivation as my reason, and not be entered for prizes. I’ll try to report in, and visit others to support them, as time permits.
Thanks for giving the last 100 days of the year a special meaning.

I’m back! Blogspot fixed me finally, so I added your Challenge info to today’s post. And I forgot to tell you my goals.
1. Stay within my calorie limits (1600 for 6 days/wk, and 1800 for 1day/wk)
2. Exercise 6 days/wk (except right after my 2 upcoming hand surgeries)
3. Take my vitamins every day
Things I want to be consistent for a lifetime, so I thought they would make good goals for the challenge!

I also added your image to the side bar.
I’m not worried about the prizes so am just going to leave this comment, you don’t need hundreds to read. I’ll be back at least weekly to check up on you and leave a comment so you know I’m still here being part of this great challenge.
Thank you so much Steve for the heads up on the time left to achieve this goal I set out to do the first of this year.
I’m off to read more. Take care and God Bless!!!
