Hello!
I've done a 21-day-challenge once before in here under Eating disorders. If you're interested, you can find my previous challenge there. I have/had a binge eating disorder and I was able to make huge changes to my eating habits and mindset with the challenge. So now, a bit later, I'm going to (at least very very much trying to!) write in here again every day for the next 21 days. Why 21? Because it's supposed to take 21 days to make a habit. This time my goal is to win all my mental battles (regarding to fitness) every day. I've already created quite regular eating habits (breakfast, lunch, small pre and post workout snacks, dinner and an evening snack) while eating mostly healthy food and not having any binges. Now my challenge includes continuing these eating habits AND training at the gym as well. Here is the plan that I need to follow:
1. Legs (glute focused)
2. Shoulders and abs + 20 minutes of cardio at the treadmill
3. Back and biceps + 20 min (cardio)
4. Chest and triceps + 30 min
5. Legs (glute focused)
6. Rest + A CHEAT MEAL
7. Shoulders and abs + 20 min
8. Back and biceps, + 20 min
9. Legs (glute focused)
10. Chest and triceps + 30 min
11. Shoulders and abs + 20 min
12. Rest + A CHEAT MEAL
13. Legs (glute focused)
14. Back and biceps, + 20 min
15. Shoulders and abs + 20 min
16. Chest and triceps + 30 min
17. Legs (glute focused)
18. Rest + A CHEAT MEAL
19. Back and biceps, + 20 min
20. Shoulders and abs + 20 min
21. Legs (glute focused)
As you can see, there's always 5 days of working out and then a rest day with a cheat meal. So this means no treats other days than rest days. A cheat meal. in this context, is an extra (healthy or unhealthy) meal that has 0-1000 calories.
This challenge is very possible because the only thing that's stopping me is me. I'm my biggest enemy. THIS CHALLENGE IS TO TEACH ME MORE DISCIPLINE, PATIENCE AND MENTAL STRENGTH. Writing in here seems to give me some kind of motivation and support (even though nobody read these) and it's holding me accountable a bit as well. But whatever happens, I try to write in here anyway. Write my feelings and thoughts. Maybe it will teach me (or someone else as well!) something. I will comment this text every day, not make any new posts.
I'll also write one quote every day that I have found motivating.
See you tomorrow! :)
Soooo.... I didn't manage to go train legs after work anymore. This is not a good excuse and I won't tolerate this later but right now, before I kind of even started this challenge, I just couldn't win the battle... I'm not even counting this as a day 1. Tomorrow is a morning shift so I have literally zero excuses then.
Welcome to DS,
Good Luck on your challenge. I too started a cleanse that
I felt the effects of immediately after 2 days. It contains a soup
made of basic tomatoes, green peppers,celery, boiled down and no sodium.
I use like Mrs Dash.It sucks you in and you feel the effects of the No Salt.
During this time I use nothing that contains sugar,You can eat as much as you want all day long. Good Luck to me.!
Are you in counseling for the underlying reason that causes your
binge eating?
If not maybe try Quantum Freedom Healing. This is where you are releasing
all past traumas to the Universe(self healing) .
This is your own personal journey back to Wholeness and Self Healing.
Supporting Hugs throughout your challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!
