28 day challenge

I know yesterday's post I was down about reading so many blogs of successful healthy eating folks. But today I have a praise and I hope it serves as a reminder to why I do love those blogs so much. One that is my favorite is http://amerrylife.com/ She is realistic and struggling and not some perfect model shape. She has bad days and good and she shares them all. I love that freshness and honesty. She was given a program called rebel fitness to critique (lucky girl got it for free I am jealous lol) you can go to her website right now for the review. She was fair with pros and cons. It was enough to get me curious. The blog for rebel fitness is here http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/ (man I miss live writer :( ho hum) and I haven't had a chance to look at it a ton... I did join the community which is free because the blog post encourged me to join a 28 day challenge. This is perfect I need a challenge for sure. What was super neat about it is he asks for two to be health challenges and one to be lifestyle. So mine are...

1) to drink 8 glasses of water a day
2) excercise 5 out of 7 days a week
3) purge my house of un-needed items

So far I have already started the third one strong as I have some books to take to the local re-sell shop!

Now to a quick update on yesterday and how I did.... for my weekly goal of excercise -- epic fail as I did not make it. Not to use an excuse but honestly I tried all afternoon to get the test to load I mentioned. I finally had to do it when I got home last night after midnight. Thankfully the online schools website is two hours behind me! Now I am just worried a D is not passing (Yeah not proud but considering it was math and I had computer issues I am ok with it as long as the school does find it passing. I think they do but I am waiting for confirmation) My GPA is strong so I will still graduate with an A average. Yea me! :D I digress. I did not make it but I will today after dinner. I promised myself. The fluid front was a solid B as I did not have any sugary drinks but didn't get all fluids as actual water. Only half. And the weighing so far is an A as I have done it three days in a row and it is working as a reminder of what I need to do for sure! I was terrified to look at the scale today I had myself almost talked out of it but decided I can't keep being an ostrich. SO I did it and it went a smidgen down and I wasn't naked this am :D SO I am happy I did it. Today I am trying some intuitive eating but so far once I hit 10:30 i have been hungry the whole time. I need to get my stomach/brain re-conditioned to really knowing my hunger triggers. That might take research and for sure time. I might make that a next week goal. :D

Q. What would your 28 day challenges be?
