Excited about taking part in this fun little summer challenge! The challenge is a two month motivation boost for anyone who would like to take part, running from June 6th until Aug 6th. The goals for the challenge include : Encouraging each other, Losing weight, exercise, tracking food, drinking water, getting your 5 a day and cooking your own meals. You can also include any other goals that you desire. Check it out here.
Below are some of my goals for the challenge.
I went to the gym today, and I am really commiting to keeping up the exercise, not just for the challenge, but for myself! I enjoy working out for the most part, but I often don't make time to do it. I'm commiting to it. My goal is to exercise at least 5 days a week. We'll try that. It may be too much, but bring it on!
This one is pretty easy for me, I love water. But I don't always get in as much as I should. I look forward to commiting myself to try harder to get it all in! My goal? Drink 8 - 10 glasses a day.
I hope I included everything I was supposed to! Let me know if I forgot anything, other challengers!
You will meet every one of these goals. Twenty pounds by August sounds a little aggressive, however, if you add in some exercise (don't get too crazy on that), and stay with the low carb plan, I have no doubt you can do it. I can't wait. A little success will go a long way in getting you to goal. I'm so happy for you Jenny. Seriously, this sounds like an answer to a prayer. Hang in there my friend!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the challenge. What an enthusiastic goal. I'm aiming for 15 pounds myself, but I totally believe you can do it. Especially if you're low-carbing--which I've seen melt pounds off others. (I can't seem to do low-carb, though Lord knows I've given it a shot or two in the past).
ReplyDeleteWith 5 little ones to run around after, wow, you have got to be one busy--and blessed--lady!
Good to have you on board. Let's keep ourselves bloggily accountable and get healthy!
I'm doing the challenge, too! I had already set out to get to under 170 by Labor Day and I think that I'd really like 10 of those pounds to go during this challenge but my main focus for THIS will be the fruits & veggies (especially the veggies!). Can't wait to get to know you better :)
ReplyDeleteI think that your goals are definitely do-able! I've lost 14 over the last month, and i'm aiming for 31 more over the challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Hard work and motivation pay off! Good luck!
