The 30 Day Challenge
I am always reading about the 30 days to a better you or the
30 day squat challenge, ab challenge, push up challenge. You name is, they are
out there. So I decided to try to maybe make one of my own. Make changes for 30
days that I need (and yes, a better butt is one of them). However, things like
less caffeine (that one begins today, so this momma is sleepy!), going back to
drinking a gallon of water a day, cutting out the soda, journaling my food
intake, going to bed with a clean kitchen, sticking to 2 loads of laundry a day
(so I don’t end up with 8 loads in one day…oops), and maybe developing and
sticking to a better daily routine. I saw this great picture today, I will
repost it. One of the things was to have time for something fun everyday. I
think that would be a great one too. Watching TV just makes me lazy, but doing
a puzzle, coloring a picture with my daughter, playing a game with them or my
husband…that can totally take over my TV time. Previously, I thought I wouldn’t
have had the time for that, but when I look at it, I can skip my DVR for
awhile. So let’s add a little less TV to the list.
January is always such a blah month after the holidays but I
am determined to turn it into a fun one. We need to get our decorations down
this weekend, so I can rearrange the front room (which is a combo dining room
and play area for my little guy). I also want to make a desk for my daughter,
get a new rug for the family room and reorganize my little guy’s room.
Yesterday I printed out a workout calendar for me so I can keep
track where I can SEE it. Last month, I was putting purple Xs on the days I
worked out, and somehow that kept me motivated.
So it begins today, small but subtle changes. I will keep
checking back in with which ones I have started and which ones are sticking
etc. I hope many of them stick because so many are good for my physical health
and many are good for my mental health.
