30 Day Challenge

When I was looking at either Facebook or Instagram a couple of days ago, I came across the 30 Day Challenge by Betty Rocker. If you sign up, she will send you a new fitness video every day for 30 days.  The videos are supposed to be 15 minutes long, and don't need any fitness equipment.

I've been thinking for the last few weeks that I really need to start working out more.  I'm not entirely sure what my problem has been, but I've so far been unable to motivate myself to start.  So after a few days of thought, I decided to sign myself up for the 30 Day Challenge.

Once you sign yourself up, Bree asks you to make a commitment statement and send it back.  Here's the one I filled out:
I Type1Chick, commit to doing this 30-day challenge, starting on April 10, 2018. My goals are to lose some weight , gain some muscle, and feel better about my body and I will ACHIEVE them because I am a ROCKSTAR!
I filled it out quickly, and those were the three goals I came up with.  I probably should have said something about building up a better fitness regiment/making fitness a better part of my life but that's ok.  Having signed up for the challenge in the first place is hopefully going to make that goal a reality. 

On the 30 Day Challenge website, there are a lot of before and after pictures.  So I took this pic of me right now.  

I'm thinking I'll take a pic a week to show my progress. 

Oh, and while I'm here, I might as well give a weight update:

weight: 208.8 lbs
fat percentage: 45.1%
hydration: 37.7%
muscle: 27.0%
bone: 10.7%
cal: 2338


The 30 Day Challenge also urges you to sign up for a 30 Day Meal Plan because eating healthy is a large part of sculpting your body.  I decided not to sign up for that, too.  I have a few too many plans to be eating out this week, plus I have a few birthdays that are going to fall within the next 30 days, so I know I won't be able to follow a meal plan very well right now.  I'll just have to try to make healthier choices during the rest of the month (in particular for snacks - I keep craving  something to munch on (like chips) - I'm going to have to get like carrot sticks or something to try to satisfy that craving!

Well, we'll see how this goes. Wish me luck - this new adventure starts tomorrow!
