    Good morning. I woke up this March 1st (5/21) and feel incredibly optimistic and positive doing this 21 day challenge. The encouragement from this challenge and renegade706 (op) has been like a day and night difference. Keeping good on my goals (minus the meal planning but still making mindful choices) and an overall feeling of positivity is wonderful. I was thinking in the future this morning "what happens after 21 days?" But I soon remembered that was one of my goals (don't be so critical) and so I am in the present and starting day 5 . Have a wonderful Saturday everyone. Hope we all can take it one day at a time :)

    Day 5/21 Success

    7) Avoid negativity - Its hard to be negative when you spend swimming with seals and turtles and it counts as work

    Thanks to everyone for posing. It's great so many folks are participating! Day 6/21 for me. Doing well on goals: tracking food and exercise, drinking much more water, exercising, meditating. Feel so positive--good energy, attitude and just have a better focus, plus lost about 2 and a half pounds. Not much except its the 2 and a half pounds that made my clothes uncomfortable. In it for the long haul - I know it will be more than a week before I see another reduction like that on the scales. I cooked a company dinner today so went over my calories for the first time since beginning--it's fine though ad it could have been a total blow-out but instead it's just a oddest glitch. Thank you for starting this and for being so encouraging!

    Day 6/21 Close enough

    1) Complete all 10 workouts per week - 9 done so far. I consider this close enough for week 1. I pushed hard and had a good week
    2) Reach water target daily (2 litres) - Yip
    3) Stay within calorie budget daily - 139 over on my no so strict day is acceptable
    4) Spend 30 minutes each day in prayer or reading the Bible - missed that one today
    5) Log workouts and ALL nutrition each day - Yip
    6) Check in on this thread every day - here it is
    7) Avoid negativity - This is easier on weekends so I did ok with this

    I had a great day which started with the Cansa Shavathon. It is great to be able to support my friends who are battling cancer and get the convenience of super short hair all in one go.

    Day 5/21 yesterday went fab, and I stuck to all my goals and have lost another 1lb, yippee! Day 6 today - going swimming this morn with my kids who are both great swimmers, not like me, so I'm going to get my son to teach me how to do a proper front crawl and try and do some lengths for my exercise quota. Hurting my knee (which feels just about better now) has actually been a blessing in disguise, as it made me think of other exercises I can do than just running, and I'm not sure I'd have added the strength training in if it weren't for that. I'm going to carry on mixing it up even though my Kane's better, as I'm really enjoying my exercise sessions now rather than finding them a chore, and I think it will build a stronger, fitter body. Thanks everyone for your support and sharing your own ups and downs, it's so good to know I'm not alone. Keep up the good work, and don't give up!

    Day 3 of 21 is a wrap for me! Yesterday I had a rough day but today was much better. No over eating, I completed my log, and I exercised. Ready to start the week off healthy! I love this challenge. It's the first that I'm really trying to stick with!!

    7) Avoid negativity - This is easier on weekends especially when I get to help with the seals. Totally stoked that I got to work with the big male and got little Sammi to eat from me (she is very fussy, but still my favourite).

    Week 1 was great. 1/3 of the way to new and great habits.
