OCTOBER SUPER CHALLENGE

HI GUYS !!

Ok  . . so if you don’t already know for the last 30 days i’ve been undergoing a challenge for myself . .

30 days NO SUGAR . .

Now by no sugar i mean no ARTIFICIAL sugar . . no junk . . no lollies . .

My diet is paleo which means i eat every 2-3 hours . . and what i eat consists of veggies . . protein . . mod/high fat . . and no starchy carbs . . dairy i have such as cheese or ricotta . . long as it’s low in carbs . . my body just tends to handle high fats better than high carbs . .

Then every 5-7 days . . or every 30-40 meals i will do a high carb . . which is all one-ingredient things like fruit . . rolled oats . . etc . .

SOO i’m on day 28 i think so far of no artificial sugar . . it wasn’t like i was eating a lot of junk anyway . . i just wanted to undergo a challenge for myself . . something that will improve my health . . and something fun to play around with . . i feel a lot better . . a lot tighter . . so i will continue with this path hopefully for a long time !! good thing is i don’t crave those naughty foods anymore . . if anything i crave fruit or oats . .

ANYWAY . . i wanted to share with you my next super challenge for this month . . i’m going to be focus on my mobility daily . . stretching . . opening up the muscles . . really keeping my muscles long and active like they should be . . and being the topic of the month i will post some youtube clips & information that may be useful for all you sexy creatures too !!

NOW !! my challenge to YOU . . is to pick a challenge for the month .  . not a goal . . i don’t like “goals” . . they sound boring . . goal this goal that . . BLAH BLAH . . whatever . . we’re calling it the OCTOBER SUPER CHALLENGE .  .

So pick ONE THING you would like to improve on . . whether it be not having a certain food for a month . . drinking a consistent amount of water . . going for a walk every morning . . it doesn’t even need to be exercise related . . it can be not allowing yourself to be angry for the month . . or smiling at every single person you talk to . .  i don’t know . . YOU KNOW what you want to achieve . . so just pick one thing . .

ONE thing because if we pick 20 things . . it ain’t going to work . . our mind tends to do better if we really FOCUS in that one direction . . that ONE super challenge . .

Why 30 days ?? Because it’s a good amount of time to really see if it makes a difference in your life . . a year is too long . . you’ll slack off .  . when you see changes in that 30 days you will find that you WANT to keep it up . . and then by the end of the year . . you will have had 12 super challenges . . 12 “goals” . . 12 habits that you have changed . .

It’s just breaking it down into do-able tasks . .

Make sure everything you do . . every move you take is directed toward that ONE SUPER CH ALLENGE . .  it’s either bringing you closer to it . . or it’s not . . don’t cheat . . you’re not doing yourself any favours . .  and if you DO . . doesn’t matter . . start the 30 days again . .  it’s all a learning experience !! change takes time . . don’t beat yourself up . . just get back on the wagon . .

When that 30 days is up . . buy yourself something that will make you look back and say . . I DID THAT !! it will motivate you to keep on going.

Please share with me what your OCTOBER SUPER CHALLENGE is . . i would love to hear it !!!!

And day by day don’t be shy and share with us if you’ve struggled . . if it was an easy day . . if it’s already changing your life . .

BIG HUGS

  3. That is an amazing effort boo - no sugar - well done! That is something i am going to work towards as well. How did you feel energy wise without the starchy carbs/fruit?? Well my challenge for october is to run 5km 3x week, though my first goal was to run it in under 30mins and i smashed that today in 26.19min so i think i will make it 6km run instead!!

  4. thanks babygirl !! felt awesome . . i've been doing low carb for a bit now . . 95% of the population don't react well to carbs . . we're insulin sensitive . . and you know how it feels bcos you feel bloated . . and tired after you eat the starch . . but when you allow your body the chance to experience what it's like without that stuff weighing you down . . keep the fats nice and high for the energy . . it feels good !! but you have to give it a chance . . couple months minimum . . type in "Charles Poliquin seminar" or "Charles Poliquin diet" in google to read more about it . . great results too !!
