Today is Day 21 of the 21 Day Challenge that I was given by a friend of mine. It was given to me so I can re-evaluate some things about my diet and lifestyle. The three guidelines that were given were:
- stay under calories
- work out 6x a week
- log everything you eat
These three things aren't hard to do at all. I logged every day, incorporated fruits and veggies everyday (that I could when I was at home and not working), and the working out was just ridiculously hard to do considering the fact that I have to drive a far distance to the gym. I didn't work out at all for the first week of doing the challenge. I started working out twice a week since June 1st for my June Challenge and even that was not enough. I will have to say this though, I enjoyed the challenge a lot and it made me realize that I can lose weight and be healthy. The tougher parts of doing this challenge is noticing that I have to live life as well as "diet".
This past weekend challenged me to no end and I must say that I failed the weekend. Saturday I gave in and was okay with giving in because I have not "cheated" off of my plan of my foods since I started counting calories again. No, I do not feel good about eating bad foods not because I don't feel good, but because I know I have to start fresh tomorrow. It won't be that hard, but the fact that I can't eat cake again for a while kinda bugs me. I have to stay away from my boyfriend's place because he has cake! lol
I will continue to make progress as I go and I will do just fine with the support of my YouTube friends. :)
