    Day 14/21 here. I've had a busy week and wasn't able to check in, but have been doing my best to meet my daily goals.
    It hasn't been perfect, as there were a few days of complete chaos when I was over on calories. However, I still tracked and was aware of what I was eating.
    I haven't exercised every day, but completed week 3 of C25K. I was supposed to do day 2 of week 4 today, but am exhausted after a stressful work day. I took the kids for a 30min walk instead avoiding exercise though, so that's an improvement.
    Keep it up everyone, small changes to daily habits can make a huge difference!

    i think this is awesome!!! way to go for doing what you did do and not giving up:smile:

    Day 15 of 21- The final stretch for me ( for this challenge, will just keep pushing for bigger goals and better habits when its over) Had a good day today, work was busy but ate healthy, have encouraged people , got in a good workout this morning, have not quite hit water goal yet but will before night is over. SO inspiring to see so many of you still going strong, and motivating to see new people starting the challenge. I hope its the first step toward a lifetime of healthy habits! God Bless

    Okay, I am late (new to MFP) but I am in as well!

    Goals:
    1.) Work out at least 3-4 days per week
    2.) Incorporate weight training at least 2-3 days per week
    3.) Read something enjoyable a couple of days per week
    4.) Log my workouts and meals on MFP (for some reason, I think this one will be the most difficult!)
    5.) Do not cave in to cravings and do not eat when bored
    6.) Transition to a healthier diet/ less snacking
    7.) Lost 10 pounds by day 21.

    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!!

    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.
