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.
