The second week of the challenge is over. I was able to bring my numbers up for the challenge from the first week but the lack of intense fitness training really hurt my overall numbers. The finally week I am going all out and will hit the gym or workout at home 6 days alternating the strength training and the cardio and core training.
I am feeling stronger and leaner. I will take the final measurements at the end of next week but already feel a difference in my body. Even if I didn’t lose one pound, the energy and the way I feel in my body has committed me to making lasting changes.
I have cleaned up my food and eliminated the carbohydrate cravings I was having before the challenge began. I feel great and look forward to finishing this challenge with a strong push.
Wish me luck!
Here are my stats:
Goal for today: Go to the gym and do two sets of strength training and 10 minutes of cardio at high intensity intervals.
Successes from yesterday:
- I got moving and sweated even though I didn’t want to at all.
- Had a nice balance of protein and vegetables throughout the day.
- Enjoyed time with my kids despite several technical difficulties
Total Points from yesterday: 86
Things to improve from yesterday:
- Get back to the gym and use the heavier weights
- Commit to and complete all workouts for the last week of the challenge. This is it!

Breakfast 2 Scrambled eggs with broccoli and feta cheese
Snack Egg & Cheese Croissant
Lunch Peas with wholegrain pasta, fresh tomato sauce and feta cheese

It really does gets easier as it takes longer. I remember the how felt sorry for myself the time I was undergoing a diet program. I was lucky to have a friend to motivate me since I was suffering so much that I can’t count how many times I wanted to quit. Anyway, exercise and eating healthy is part of my lifestyle now and I feel stronger and more confident about myself.
