A friend of mine, Jesse, started a 30 day challenge today. You can read all about it here. I am going to join her, except since I’m a day late, I’m calling it a 29 day challenge. I also will not be as strict as her. Because lets face it… I can NOT cut out all carbs. I just can’t. But I CAN limit them. A lot.
My goal is to lose at the very least 10 pounds. 10 pounds in 29 days? I think I can do it. I pigged out today with chicken tenders and fries for lunch and homemade pizza for dinner, and even snacking on some mini marshmallows after dinner. :-)
I’ve got my work cut out for me! Especially because I’m also making my goal a little bit more challenging by adding some workouts to my challenge. I’m aiming for making a trip to the gym 5 days a week, but at least 3 days a week for sure.
For those that don’t really know me, this will be a challenge.
Reason Number 1: I like to sleep. I cannot get up at the crack of dawn to drag myself to the gym.
Reason Number 2: I like my time with my kids. By the time I get off work, I’m ready to come home and see them.
This new routine will take some getting used to, but my goals are to get myself into a healthier routine that I can live with every day. A better diet, and exercise.
For the next 29 days, I will be posting regularly about my progress and without revealing my actual weight, will give you the pounds lost! This will serve as motivation to me as well…. Other people are going to see if I cheat? Other people are going to see if I gain a pound? Yeah, it’s going to be hard… but I can do it. And I’m doing it for MYSELF. I can’t wait!!!
Until next time…
Way to go Jess! I'm so excited too, I can't wait! We're going to feel so good. It's going to take some getting used to and some initial cravings to stave off... but we're going to feel so much better! Can't wait to see your progress and have you see mine (so I can't cheat!)
