I want to mention a One Month Challenge! To you tonight or in this post I don't know when you will read this!
This challenge is simple really and the goal of it, is for it to help you to be the best that You that You can be...
These are some of the basic challenge goals for this Challenge:
1: Workout at least once a day! Even it is a walk around the block once, go and get active!
2: Drink Water it is so important for you! I am really really bad at this but I know that it is good for you skin, sleep, weight and so so much more. You should have half you bodyweight in ounces. You can do it!
3: Eat right...haha oh boy, I think this may be the hard one for me but we can do it! And this means eating all of the meals, no skipping! And ideal you should be eating every 2-3 hours to help keep the metabolism going!
4: Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep for some this is icing on the cake for some this one is really hard, sleep it so good you! Don't under estimate the power of sleep! I do try to get to bed earlier than later and the same goes for getting up in the morning too, but your call.
You should weigh in the first day and keep track as you go along (We all hate it)

"No! Kill me first!!!

But it is a good thing to do and to keep track of. But do focus on the numbers over all it isn't about that...which brings me to say Measure! This is more important then the number you can lose weight without it showing really any lose of weight...do it! You'll be thankful that you did.
I am going to write down what I eat, time I went to bed and weight and all of that. I would suggest you do it to, it will be easier to keep track and to keep reminding yourself why and what you are doing each day!
But really this is going to be what you make out of it, you can push yourself really hard and eat right, sleep right...drink right but all of this is up to you I am really just telling you what I am going to do and what my guidelines are going to be for me...but I challenge you to do this and push yourself to be the best that you can be and not just for this one month but as a lifestyle.
The challenge again starts on January first. The best to you.
I would love for you to get me posted on your journey on this. Like the "like page" on Facebook "The one Month Challenge" To hear how I am doing and others!
One month, you can do it.
It pains me to talk about this---I fell off and fall from the wagon for the last two weeks or so. I can feel your eyes getting big now and like 'what'? I keep telling myself that I need to be this guy that will keep people motivated and workout like a mad man.
I keep beating myself up for not getting a workout in, not eating the best foods and not drinking enough water---ect.
Well, today I woke up at 5:30am on a Sunday I am going to add (The day of rest, so I have been told) And got ready for work. I thought about this when I was getting ready and Thought Who said that I need to be 'perfect' at this? Pretty sure no one did and I don't think no one will and if they do they need to rethink some things over.
We are not perfect people (I know, I know that you all thought I was, sorry to disappoint!) and mess up every day small and sometimes big and the only thing I should be beating myself up on is what I have or have not been doing at the point that those small & big mess ups happen.
thoughts have crossed my mind that I should quite, whats the point? I mean I haven't been sticking with it! that was before today.
Today is a new day! The sun is even shining now for this part of this post, I am not going to let myself lose this, we are our worst enemy! We are who we are and we who are who we let ourselves be. yes I got lazy in working out and eating healthy---but I am going to start new! Haha, it isn't like I am able to go back to where I left off and start there I am in today.
My point.
If you have fallen off the wagon, don't sweat it, don't do what I did, it will get you no where...just get back on the wagon and continue forward! You can do it! and I am right there with you.
I am going to make a new me on this new day!
God bless and happy holidays!
