Thread: "Every-Day" 21-Day Challenge -- Small things to feel good about!wn!
Started 3 months, 3 weeks ago by redballoon
Okay, everyone, as is the tradition, I start a new thread when I personally start a new challenge.
Below is a short explanation of how this challenge works so all you newcomers can take a look and decide if you're game or not! I hope you are! Hop aboard and enjoy the ride. We've got a great bunch of supportive people, so I hope you'll give us a try. A lot of people try for a while and ...
Well, I figured it was about time to start a new thread up. Yeah, long, long about time! Everything stays the same. Don't restart your challenges. They just continue on from the last thread, which is here....if you need a reference...
"Every-Day" 21-Day Challenge -- Time to crack down!
Oh, and I'm on that garble at the end of the thread name. Sorry. Should be fixed shortly....
Ok, ...
Here was my last post on the old thread....I knowy ou're all just dying to read it and would hate to have missed it and.. I weigh 125 lbs and, and, oh yes, back to reality....just had another tremor and I feel a tad shaken up...
*****************
Well, it's Friday and I had completely forgotten about it being my Clothes Check day. Here is the reading and last week's. I don't think ...
Crazy insane busy day today. I am hoping to get out of here when the office closes at noon...but I may end up working the whole day. Fires to put out and deadlines to meet. I'll try and post later.
I'm proud to say I made it through another day on my challenges AND I may have turned a tiny corner in my mindset in general. I actually started doing something to make a difference in my living abode, the mess of it, that is. I think I have been quite depressed and it has shown! Yesterday I took steps to actually change something. It was SMALL, very small, but huge to me. I've got to pull ...
Day 2 and 3 are done. Didn't get here yesterday to post. I'm just waiting for the builder to arrive so don't have too much time today. I'll be back later to comment, enthuse and annoy
Red - I'm proud of you for starting to pull yourself out of malaise. I need to get my home decluttered too. That's this winter's project when we're stuck indoors.
Shad - The builder? What work are you having done? Good on ya' for sticking with the challenges!

Today, I got some stuff done to prepare for the trip. Tomorrow I'm going to try and get to the gym in ...
Calling it clear on all fronts.
I have such trouble sleeping at night I always feel lousy in the morning, and just when I have to get up, I at last can sleep. What a life. Sigh.
I did force myself to go to the gym yesterday, but did very little, just a bit of weights. Still, it was better than not going.
No sugar -- Day 5 completed 0 pauses taken
No eating after (around) 6 p.m....
Day 4 is done - no pauses.
I haven't weighed in yet, but yesterday was up somewhat. Probably something to do with the Spanish Tortilla I made for dinner the night before. I'm eating garden fresh salads - as in take a knife, go out there and cut some leaves and herbs - so it's not that causing it. Still ups and downs are part of the puzzle. The garden shorts are not getting easier to get...
Okay - well I am officially calling a pause day on all challenges. Yesterday's good intentions went to hell in a hand cart early on when DS2 took me out to lunch and we got busy in the attic changing wires and cables about.
So we are still on Day 5 and pauses all around.
1300 (about) daily calorie limit
Exercise daily
Portion control
Water - 1 litre at least.
2 pause days ...
I took an intentional pause on sugar yesterday. That means I thought about it and decided to go for it. I didn't overdo it either, which is great for me!
It was a very exercise-full day. After riding (which involves a lot of walking) I came home, grabbed a bite and then cycled off to my new trampoline class. There, among a group of five other beginners we learned the basics for TWO ...

1300 Calories per day - 3 pauses Day 0 done 30 minutes vigorous exercise - 3 pauses Day 1 done Plus 100 crunches - 3 pauses Day 1 done Journal and count food intake - no pauses Day 1 done Water - 1500ml per day - 3 pauses. Day 1 done Unfortunately had a hiccup with too much food yesterday. When it totted up the tally, I had ingested 1496 cals. I'll go 100 cal on either side but no more. So I start that one again today. Michelle - there...
Happy Tuesday (or is it Wednesday for you both) - Today is my Friday as I have tomorrow, Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Friday off. So my plan is to enjoy a nice long weekend of putting up Christmas decorations, maybe some shopping, doing website work, and going to the gym. I feel like I've only been "phoning it in"..."going through the motions"...doing this half-arsed. But here's where I'm at...
After all your positive reinforcement I am sorry to say that I failed the beer challenge and need to start again. I am waiting for the hot weather to pass (this has GOT to be the last bit of it!!) and then I will start running again and get the exercise schedule going. I have been going to the gym a bit more. I am thinking about counting calories (GASP!), that usually helps a lot. I just can't ever seem to stick with all the work...
24 oz water, 1 pause, day 0 No eating after 10:30 p.m., 3 pauses, day 0 33 points or less, 3 pauses, day 0 Still at day 0 on all of these. I was gone most of the day yesterday, but I'm home today and can work on these things.
Day one complete. 40 ounces of water - done supplements - done 30 minutes of exercise - done (40 of brisk walking) Thanks Shad! 40 ounces of water isn't much. 1.5 - 2 liters of fluids per day is recommended for me. I'm just trying to focus on getting some plain water in right now. The rest of the fluids tend to come through tea, milk, and so forth. The postings here really are helpful...both inspiring and supportive. :
I hope its not too late to join? My 21 day challenge will be to not eat anything after 9 PM. Today will be my Day 1, since I didn't eat anything after 9 PM today! Kris
Hi Red!!! It`s been years and I`m not sure if you remember me, I was so happy to see you are still here and running the thread! I hope it`s okay for me to jump back in and be part of the challenge. I`m not quite sure what it`ll be or when it`ll start, but I need some support or I`ll never get off my butt and lose this weight again. I did it once I know I can do it again, I just can`t motivate myself. Well, I had a baby about 10 months ago......
Journaling my diet- 3 days done Kept daily calories under 1300- 3 days ^-^ I got to have a fitness assessment today and really want to start working on doing a full push up and a full chin up
Okay, I guess I know how to do this... Calories - 1,400. 1 pause. Not started. Journaling - 1 pause. Not started. No refined sugar - 2 pauses. Not started. Minimum one hour per day of working out, 5X week - 1 pause. Not started. No processed food, except Ezekiel products - 2 pauses. Not started. Well, that should do it. I will post my progress starting tonight.
