30 Day Challenge::Start

I don't know about you, but every Sunday (for the last few months), I sit in church and think "Tomorrow is Monday.  A start of a new week.  That means I will" "start my new exercise program", "start my new diet", or just do something different.  Well, since I have lost 10lbs, which I feel like I ate aweful this weekend and gained back a pound...I am starting.

I saw someone on facebook post something about The30DayChallenge.  I wasn't sure what it was.  So I googled it.  How did we ever live without google?!

The 30 Day Challenge is a motivator basically.  You set a goal or challenge for youself to accomplish in 30 days.  Some people set goals to do something every day for 30 days, some set weigh loss goals, etc.  I thought it was neat because it wasn't just a food or weight-loss idea.  It is being productive at SOMETHING for 30 days straight.  No soda for 30 days, take 10 minutes for 30 days for meditate, etc.  Cool stuff.

So I thought that I might take one or more of my "church" ideas and put it to the 30 day test.  I have NEVER done something consistant for 30 days.  I am gung-ho for 1 day, maybe 2, then I get laxidazical (sp?) about it. 

I made myself a calendar that has 30 days on it.  and I counted it down starting at 30 days down to 1 day.  During the 30 days I have SO much going on: a trip to San marcos, a birthday party, a trip to galveston.  and Im sure other stuff will pop up.  I know I set goals for my weight loss...but as i breifly said in my previous post, my tummy needs toning.  Weight loss isn't all I need, toning too.  So I have goals and goals and goals that I am setting.
See the previous post for weight loss goals.  But I know I will be able to get there one day if I can do a 30 day challenge:
The 30 Day Challenge:
1) I am challenging myself to do 30 - 60 minutes of exersice every day for 30 days.  That can be a work out DVD, tredmill, crunches, strength, etc. 
2)  Drink 3 glasses of water a day
3)  Only eat fast food 1-2 times a week (if at all)

Those are my 3 challenges that I need to do for 30 days.  if I can do that and stay at around 1200 calories at day....I will be excited to see my progress. 

I will try to post every couple of days to track my progress!
