Get Fit With Me: 30 day fitness challenge

As I am trying to create lifestyle of healthy eating and regular exercise, I decided to start of with a 30 day fitness challenge, which has ended today! I'm going to take my measurements once a month to track my progress through this journey.

My exercise routine for my fitness challenge has been a combo of workout DVDs: Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred and Turbo Fire. I think I will do a review of the 30 day shred, Turbo fire is a fun but very intense cardio workout programme

Overall, I would say I have found it very hard to eat healthy, I just can't seem to resist all the foods I should be trying to give up, in particular fast food! I've worked out that I've had more 'bad' days (where I have not been clean eating) than 'good' days this past month. I've tried to get into a routine of eating clean everyday except one day a week-my cheat day.. That way I won't be depriving myself of anything that I am craving to eat but also to discipline myself to make better daily decisions.

However, I have to focus on the positives! So I've made a list..

  • Even though I haven't eaten great this month, that's still a big improvement for me when I compare this month to every month this year!
  • I have been exercising 6 days a week, motivating myself to work out in the mornings was hard at first, but I have definitely got into the routine of things and I am now starting to enjoy it :)
  • I haven't given up...I normally do!
I still have a long way to go! Join me on my journey to a healthy lifestyle!
