Back with a 30 Day Challenge

30 Day Challenge  

Hey! Ok so long time no post… I know J  But I’m back, for real, for real this time and working on a new challenge I wanted to share with you…because yeah, even personal trainers slip up sometimes…

Recently I bought a condo (WOO HOO) and got promoted at my day job  (DOUBLE WOO HOO)… While super exciting both of these things were in their own way, time consuming and stressful. They changed my daily schedules and I fell out of my routine… started working out less and most importantly eating worse AKA “treats” were the norm…not um… treats but I’m back! For the next 30 days I’m going to focus on the basics that got me to where I was before. As an FYI were I was before was, strong, happy, energetic and if I do say so myself…hot…yeah I actually liked my body.

 

I’ll be posting the workouts I’m doing, food I’m eating and everything else I’m up to as it relates to getting and staying fit.

 

The ideas I’m challenging myself to are right in line with the Primal Blueprint.. Mark Sisson who wrote the book has a blog: www.marksdailyapple.com Check it out…lots of great tips and tricks as well as success stories.

 

So here’s what it is for the next 30 days I’m going

 

1)     Eat fish, chicken, veggies, nuts, seeds, fruit, and fermented dairy (Maybe red-meat…I started eating chicken 3 years ago…before that the last time animal flesh touched my tongue was when I was 12. I actually feel better eating fish and chicken so why not give red meat a chance, right?)

2)     Workout 3 times/week

3)     Walk 3 hours/week

4)     Play/read (aka do something really fun) 4 times/week

5)     Sleep 8 hours night

 

This is how I’m planning to act fit, eat smart and be amazing!

 

Have you given yourself any new challenges? What are they and how are you making them happen?!?!?!?!
