I am posting an update on my 5 week challenge which ended last week. Truth is below ….

1/ no food from restaurants or pre-made (goodbye canned drinks). Nope. I love my take out and cans of coke. Sometimes I skipped the Coke with the take-out which felt like an accomplishment. Reality is that my diet needs work.

2/ gym 5 days a week, take three 5 minute breaks to stretch at work (10am,1pm,4pm) and finish with a 20 minute stretch session at home. Nope. More gym 3 times a week, biked every day and every where while managing once and a while to remember to touch my toes at work. No idea why this was hard…blaming it on the long overdue spring weather.

3/ no booze – Done. This was easier than I expected.

4/ no social media after work – eyes are getting a break. Done. Read 3 books, finished my Art Show pieces, and did not miss it at all.

5/ I am still going to wear my limited makeup but I will continue on with homemade deodorant, toothpaste and coconut oil for my skin. – Done. Added in the oil pulling for a while and now attempting use Baking Soda Shampoo and Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner.

Posting this late as I just arrived back from holidays so a new twist to the post and a new 4 week challenge from May 23 – June 20.

1/ food – 2 restaurant meals a week. No coca cola.

2/ gym 5 days a week, take three 5 minute breaks to stretch at work (10am,1pm,4pm) and finish with a 20 minute stretch session at home.

3/ no booze

4/ end the day with 20 minutes of mediation and silence.

Instead of staying in a place explaining to myself why I am not doing something or am incapable of doing something I am going to take all of that energy and put it towards becoming better.
