    I am going to:
    1. Log in everyday - my best is a 1.5 day streak!
    2. Restart yoga habit - at least the warm up and suryanamaskars for this week starting tomorrow morning.
    3. Get my 5 a day of vegetables and fruit.
    4. Get enough protein instead of eating sundry junk like biscuits out of packets.
    5. Eat a minimum of three home-cooked meals everyday; all the other meals have to be after these are eaten.
    6. Drink enough water.

    Good luck to everyone!

    3. Drink lots of water
    4. Keep up with what the dr. Tells me
    5. Make a good change to every meal even if it is a quick cheating burger throw away half the bun.

    I just got back on the wagon on Monday, after having gained a considerable amount of weight. (I moved back in with my mom in November).

    1. Stick to my 3-2-1 meal plans.
    2. Stay within my calorie budget per day (which as long as I stick to #1, should be easy!)
    3. Keep up a good stock of pre-packaged, pre-portioned fruit and veggie snacks in the fridge so I don't get lazy and get fast food to compensate!
    4. Work out AT LEAST 2 times weekly, for about 30 minutes or more each day.
    5. Continue drinking lots of water (close to a gallon or more a day) and no more soda.
    6. Stick to my daily planned schedules to ensure I get 8 hours or more of sleep a night and still be able to manage time for workouts instead of making up excuses!

    Funny thing about this challenge is I don't even remember what day I'm on. I believe I've completed 17/21 and on day 18. Regardless, My point is that it worked! I don't even have to think about it anymore, I just go through my daily routine. Thaks to Renegade for starting the challenge!!

    3. In addition to 5 hours of cardio a week, add in 3 days of weight/strength training.
    4. Prepare meals/snacks the night before so I'm best prepared for success the next day.
    5. Log food and exercise in MFP every day
    6. Spend 30 minutes every day in prayer/reading the bible.

    Day 16 of 21- Good day! Cardio day so got a good run in, planned my meals, had water with meals, fixing to read from bible and that will complete my goals for the day. Love to see this helping not only me but alot of others who have joined in , and continue to join. This might not change your life in 3 weeks, but its a great start to developing the habits that can change your life! Have a great night everyone.

    Day 16/21. Bad day I call in sick to work. I needed a mental health day I was just feeling blah and needed a day off with my kids. I logged everything and went over a little but I'm okay with that. Here's to tomorrow.

    Day 2/21 - Today was a great day! Did 30 Day Shred Level 3 Day 2, walked 50 minutes, Zumba for 20 minutes, and The Firm Abs Sculpt for 25 minutes! And I also read my Beautiful Creatures book (haven't finished yet though, reading about 20 minutes a day will take a while)

    (this was also yesterday's great day as well)

    Day 17 of 21- A good day , busy but made good food choices, even going out for dinner i had baked salmon with rice and a salad. The longer you do this the easier it gets to say no to bad food choices and yes to healthy ones! Hope everyone has a great weekend, God bless!

    Day 3/21


    Good day
    did thankful prayers during gym. Decided my spiritual hour can also be my gym hour, accomplishes two things at once,
    still have to finish last of the organizing hour tonite. almost there.
    Just being accountable helps a lot.

    Day 17/21 and 18/21 yesterday was okay today was great stayed in calorie range and even went to get a German chocolate frozen yogurt from sub zero didn't realize how many cals it was with all the add ins but it was soo good. Took my kids for an intro at our indoor rock climbing at the rec center, went for a walk, lifted weights, went bowling with the family, and enjoyed the sunshine does get much better than this.
