Twenty one days with...no bread, no rice and not planned...no sodas or candy or cake. LOL
Twenty one days and I SURVIVED. It was actually quite fulfilling to go to foursquare, plug in that I was leaving yoga and it say...You have been at the gym 3 weeks straight. *dancing* That is a good feeling.
And now with my good feeling...I'm going to bed so I can be on the elliptical in the am.
Peace Out!!

OOooops...
It has been almost a week and it really was my plan to blog before now. *shrug*
For starters, I'm tired. I mean SERIOUSLY tired. LOL Up until yesterday, I've been doing the gym 7 days a week and twice a day. Yesterday my body was like...*ahem* If you want to function, you won't do that. LOL And I didn't. I do listen sometimes. LOL
So, tomorrow will be my last day of my 21 Day Challenge. I realized, as I was sitting in church tonight, that not only have I given up bread and rice, but unconsciously I've given up soda and candy. *go me!!* I don't know if I mentioned it, but my trigger foods are bread and rice. I love them...can make meals off of them...etc.
How has that worked out for me you ask? I feel great. Besides being tired, I am mentally better, more focused...and I realized that I have built my 21 day habit...which is actually what I wanted to do. I've learned that I can sit at a table with my favorite type of foccacia at Carmine's, and I don't have to eat it. #winning LOL
As of Monday, I create a new challenge. What? 21 Days of riding my bike. *church pray*. My bike has been in my store room fore almost 2 weeks...put together and me saying I'm going to ride it. *sigh* So.......the plan is to at least 3 times a week ride and 2 times a week Zumba, yes...on my Round 2 of the gym.
Now...my hanging on a thread self is going to finish watching Necessary Roughness and think about the beautiful lunch I shall make tomorrow...bread free. LOL
Peace Out!!!

Plowing through...determined!!
Twelve days into the 21 day Challenge for me. I'm going strong and tired. LOL
I find myself more focused every day to get to the gym first thing in the morning. I find I think better, I feel better and I can tolerate a lot more "stuff" from people. There are some days that I'm even doing a double duty. I hit the gym by 7:30 and I hit a class in the evening. I'm seeing small changes in my face and I'm truly grateful. I'm also feeling major changes in my breathing support for singing.
Before the week is out, I am hoping to have my bicycle on the road. Oh yea...I got it last week. I've been trying to get it on the "road" for a week. I think part of me being slow getting it together is a fear of getting out there...just riding. I am determined to get it done by Thursday, so I can take my first ride downtown...on the West Side greenway.
I think I just challenged myself. Whew....
Off to a new day and new challenges!!!
Peace!
