Often times the hardest part about dieting is imagining how long it will take to get where you want to be. But, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So try starting small; cook dinner 3 nights a week, or take lunch to work. But big steps or small, commit today to the most important thing you've got...your health.
"So far I resisted the urge to pick at extra food a bunch of times! I had a few carrots, but those are on plan so I let it slide. Will try harder at those
Mindless bites from now on "
"Hey Anna, I’m a fit and skinny guy with 11.8-12.3% bodyfat depending on the day :) I fight sugar for s different reason. But thank you for z suggestion!"
"Drnmillz, I drank the least amount of water on the days I'm the most busy, which are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The weekends are when we're entertaining visitors or attending events. Any tips on how to keep drinking water in these circumstances would help :)"
"Workout Monday 2/10:
-Worked out 1hr 35mins
-Increased resistance/weights to all workouts
Workout Wednesday 2/12:
-Worked out 1hr 30mins
Workout Saturday 2/15:
-Miscalculated how long I was on the elliptical so I ended up doing 40 mins of cardio haha
-Worked out total 1hr 40mins
*Week 2 was a success; This is the first time that I could see progress in my strength. Working out my arms/upper body has been a weakness for me, and I'm really happy I finally moved up with 8lbs weights. My goal is to reach at least 10lbs. Thanks everyone for the kind words and support! "
"Maintaining, and improving as well! My visceral fat reading just dropped into the "good" range on my bio-impedance scales. I want to keep it there. Always another milestone to chase!"
"Day 6 again, checked my blood pressure. Was 121 over 62. Sooo close to being normal. Better than I have been though. Have been as high as 141 over 83"
"Ok so I know it’s not the gym... But I did do a 5 mile hike today. Half way up I twisted my ankle. I was going to turn back but 🤷🏽♂️ I couldn’t let the mountain beat me. I got it done 😭 first time hiking in 5 years!"
"I think this week I had a good start just trying to see what is the best schedule for me to workout. I didn't lose anything this week, but I think it was because I was starting to get the flow of it. Hopefully next report is better."
"Day 4. Not energetic and not super tired. Bit disappointing that don't feel like I'm seeing great progress in my skin but need to remember the lag effect. Will probably still be a few days"
"During the first week, I drank over 64 ounces of water on 4 days. On 3 days, I drank 30 ounces on average. It seems like I forget to stay hydrated on the days when I'm busy and I drink the most water when I feel the effects of dehydration (dry lips, dry mouth or throat, and after exercising)."
"Push-ups are going great! Thank you all for checking in. I'm currently doing a Wednesday workout with Sac pd and the program I'm in here at sac state called LECS. This will help me a lot because I will have officers around me to push me.....well yell at me to push myself. "
"I would say I haven’t been eating properly because of my rushed schedule. When I do eat though, it is the fastest and most convenient thing I could find, which is usually fast food. I am eating some healthier alternatives but it still isn’t enough for my goal. "
"I only drank one of the bottles the entire day! I took a nap after work I think that effected it. But throughout the day, I did not make myself drink a lot. I was having a very very mentally off day yesterday. #PMS"
"How long have I been doing this challenge for? Oh 6 days, not even a week. I keep thinking of food to buy and eat like fries or pizza.
But I want to start eating more healthy and In the long run I am much happier not eating those things. But at the moment...not so much. "
"Forgot to log this prior. However, since February 9th I have been able to get back into my routine of waking up at 5:30am every morning. So far so good! "
"Workout Monday 2/3:
- Increased cardio to 35 mins
- Worked out for 1hr 30 mins
Workout Wednesday 2/5:
-Worked out 1hr 35mins
Workout Saturday 2/8:
-Worked out 1hr 30mins"
"Day 1 today. Seems to be going fine so far. Not much in the way of headaches. Have contemplated getting a coffee many times already 😅 expect this number to go up as time goes on, but drop away after a few days, and eventually dissipate altogether"
"Overall I'm counting this a success, since I wrote "typically" have yogurt, salad, and normal supper. This week, I'm adding a new challenge which is that I am still allowed to have some desserts, but I have to first text you that I'm going to have it!"
