30-day challenge

there have been a lot of people doing some sort of new challenge/plan/workout these days - kathleen, anne, sizzle, and hilly are just to name a few... and since i've been struggling with getting back into a decent workout routine myself - i decided to start my own 30-day challenge... this is what i came up with so far:

  1. 30-min cardio (min) daily
  2. do the "belly-off" program 3x/week (more info here)
  3. take a class at the gym 1x/week (min)
  4. do better at tracking points (esp. sat/sun)
  5. cut-back on sugar
  6. lose 5 pounds
  7. not feel guilty about putting myself first!
the list seems a bit daunting (the hardest ones will be the top 3) but i CAN do it for 30-days and i NEED to do it... i miss having structure and something to work towards, so hopefully this will get my lazy-ass up and moving again... though i won't post right now - i'll also take my measurements and see what progress, if any, is made after 30-days... i'm kind of excited! ;)

anyone else out there doing a challenge or thinking about starting one? if so, please share... :)

happy tuesday...

update: holy shit-skies! that first workout was H-A-R-D! i haven't sweated like that, during a weight-workout, in ages - so i have a good feeling about this... :)

I think it's easier when we give ourselves time frames. Not EASY but easier.

Good luck and I know you can do it!

Best of luck to you!

I put on a few extra pounds over the winter and I'm doing my darnedest to get them off. I am not specifically doing a 30-day challenge, but I guess this would be a good time to start since it's the beginning of the month. Hmm...

The 30 day challenge is a good idea. Once school ends for me (I teach) I think I might do the exact same thing. I really want to get back into the swing of things with my workouts! Good luck!
