Do Life 12-Week Challenge, Week 1

This is Week One's responses for the Do Life 12 Week Challenge.

WEEK ONE CHALLENGES:
(Since we're all at different places in our health and fitness journeys, there will be some differing challenges.)

Write down five quantifiable goals for yourself. Emphasis on quantifiable. And they must be realistically achievable within one month (more on this below the challenges).
Assess yourself and write down your current stats in all five areas. Do you want to lose six pounds? Find out exactly where you are now. Do you want to run a 35-minute 5K? Write down your current time. Etc. You might need to get creative with assessments. That's okay. There is no requirement on your goals or your assessments.

Goal:	Current:
Lose 5 lbs by Feb 2nd	Beginning weight: 230.1
Take vitamins every day	Don't do this currently
Drink at least 32 oz of water a day	I normally only drink about 8oz of water a day
Run 28 miles by Feb 2nd	Starting at 0 miles... tracking via Nike+ app on iPod Nano
Increase my # of push-ups to 20	Currently can do 12 (though I'm not sure how good/bad my "form" is)

By Monday night, get on the floor an do as many pushups as you can. Modified (from your knees) or regular. It doesn't matter how many you can do. Write this number down in a notebook or word document. Pushups will be a "fun" recurring litmus test throughout the 12 weeks.

12 "Guy" Pushups

Beginners: Do 120 minutes of exercise this week. The exercise can be anything physical as long as you're working that heart rate. Walking, running, cycling, rollerblading, yoga, weight-lifting, anything.

I would say that I am a beginner... Plan: 45 mins, 3 days a week.

Identify your biggest excuse. Write it down on a wall in your house. Then in your notebook write a way to eliminate that excuse. Not enough time in the day? "Eliminate American Idol and Glee." Sorry

Each night before bed, write four things you did well that day.

Oops... didn't do this part this week.
