Yes, I am still here! Things to confess: I’ve been tracking my calories since Friday but I didn’t start the 21 Day Challenge until Monday. But in my fake made up 21 day challenge rules, the challenge starts whenever you have a perfect day. Also I haven’t been doing the 30 Day Shred. Why? Well the last two times I tried to do it, I got all low blood sugary (damn Insulin Resistance) and it really put me off it. So for now I am just doing whatever I feel like doing. This week I felt like doing Turbo Jam. And it was great, I really love Turbo Jam. Statistics for this week’s weigh in:
- Highest: 245.0 lb
- Last Week: 225.0 lb
- This Week: 219.4 lb
- Week’s Loss: 5.6 lb
- Total Loss: 25.6 lb
I know that a lot of this is water weight, but it is still rad to see the loss. I have been doing things a little bit different this time around food wise. I haven’t been going crazy to be exact. I have been keeping in my calorie range and paying attention to what I eat but I haven’t been freaking out if I eat something “bad”. I think this is working out well. I want to make a slower transition to eating clean than I normally do.
As for the 21 day challenge… I have five days down and I’m feeling really positive about it still. I also have one week completed in the 100 push up program. And that’s all I have to say for now.

Some of the members of the weight loss community on YouTube are doing a 21 Day Challenge. The idea behind it is that is takes 21 days to make or change a habit. Well, even though I am too afraid to post actual YouTube videos, I thought it would be nice to be part of a challenge. For the challenge, I will pick three goals and keep track of them for 21 Days. Here are my goals:
- Exercise for at least 10 minutes every day. As I stated in my last post, I am planning to start the 30 Day Shred today and the 100 push up program. I am currently planning to day 30 Day Shred at least 5 times a week, but I would like to at least have some movement every day. This can be anything such as walking, stretching or light yoga… just something to get me moving for the day.
- Track my calories every day. I tend to forget to track calories every once in a while and then I try to catch up later. Any accountability is better than none at all but it hinders my progress when I don’t realize I ate too much one day until I enter my calories a few days later. I want to make sure that I either track my calories prior to eating or immediately after. If I am away from home (I have a weekend trip planned in February) then I should at least write down my food intake in a notebook.
- Drink 64 ounces of water every day. I haven’t been drinking any water at all lately! I am going to aim for more like 120 ounces a day but I want to be realistic.
I feel highly motivated! But in reality that means nothing because I always start off highly motivated. I promise to check in at least once a week on how this challenge is going. Even though no one reads this site.

I am really good at starting over. I enjoy deleting all my old posts and pretending like I never failed. Well, here I am again starting over. Let’s see if I can make it stick this time. My highest weight was 245 lb in October and my starting weight today is 225 lb. My current plan is to watch my daily food intake with SparkPeople and to exercise at least five times a week. I am starting the 30 Day Shred today and I am also doing the 100 push ups program.
I want to do this so I should just do it, right?
