A friend of mind has decided to take a 30 day challenge and is asking people to join her with their own challenge. See her blog for more details: http://www.trimommylife.com/p/project30days.html. If you decide to do the 30 day challenge, you have to find something that you’ve wanted to do for a while and that you want to commit to for 30 days. It doesn’t have to be something big.
Before the 30 day challenge, I had already taken a commitment to follow a certain plan for a month. I will extend this to the end of April (minimum) to keep with the rules of the 30 day challenge. I will also add two other 30 day challenges. Here’s what my three challenges for April are:
In case you are wondering, my commitment means that I will have no chocolate, maple syrup, honey, soda, juice, dried fruits, granola bars, cake, brownies and some fruits that have high fructose in them like pineapples, grapes or cherries. Now you might think I’m crazy here, but I will also avoid bread, pasta, potatoes, rice and grains (because they apparently work somewhat like sugar in the body). Now, there are different opinions going around about this and you are entitled to yours, I myself was pretty hard to convince! But I do intend to honor this commitment.
2) Challenge #2: Cleaning up the dishes before I go to bed. Now, that might seem like a no brainer, but I do tend to wait the day after to clean my dishes. After a long day, I’m tired and I just really don’t feel like doing the dishes a lot of time. The problem with this is that I start the morning with a sink full of dishes and it just adds some stress to my day.
3) Challenge #3: Preparing my snacks and lunches the night before I go to work. Because I waste a lot of valuable time in the morning doing that and because I want to do that before I do the dishes so that my sink is not full of dishes when I leave my home in the morning.
Here we go, those are my challenges. Will you join us with your own challenge?
Nice! I will join you in a 30 day high carb free diet. I am also running 3x a week and am really enjoying it :) If I expect to complete this full marathon, I've got to keep it up I suppose! So until May 01, I will not eat carbs and will run 3x a week :) Love you to bits Annie! Life is a journey-enjoy it!!!
