After many tried and failed attempts at the whole you just have to do it, make the numbers go down attempt I decided to try something new.
The challenge to myself:
Be intentionally active for 20 minutes or more everyday for 100 days.
Intentionally active can be a walk, the gym, a run, ice skating, rock climbing, hiking, swimming (laps or for fun), snowboarding, it can be anything as long as it is something active!
I am always happier and feeling better when I am active. So I decided to ditch the number on the scale kind of goals and set up a goal to live a more active more happy lifestyle.
Today is day 11, it's sunny out and I cannot wait for my walk outside later!
So far I have a TON more energy, I feel better and because I know that I have been active I am more aware of what I am eating and track my calories with a lot less effort because I don't want to discount the activity I've been doing. It's been working for me and I feel so accomplished after I write the number on the calendar marking my success for the day.
Just thought I'd share the idea, it's been working for me!
