My Week Three Totals: 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge

My 21 days are over. I am very excited to say that I completed my 21 day goals. The total points possible for the challenge was 2,215. My total points were 1,067. This included points for eating proper meals, vegetables, protein and drinking enough water. There were points for exercising, sweating, sleeping and blogging. It was also possible to loose points for drinking soda, eating sweets, skipping breakfast, eating fast food and eating refined carbs. My most point loss was from drinking soda and not sleeping enough. I could have also done better if I had blogged every day and drank enough water. I will try to do better in the March challenge. I still feel like a winner since I have reached my short term goals.

My Week Three Update: 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge

This week has been very hard. I have been fighting the flu for a few days now. I am finally starting to feel better. I did not workout as much as I would have liked to. As for my meal plan it went right out the window. I had a lot of crackers, tea and soda. I will be weighing my self on Tuesday so I am not going to expect much change in the numbers. I also need to tally up the points in my journal to see how I have been doing with the eating and exercise plan. I still have determination to keep working on my drive to be more healthy. A new 21 day challenge starts in March. I expect I will be joining the challenge again. Following the Dustin Maher’s Fit Mom’s For Life Program and being in the blogger weight loss challenge has helped me remain accountable?  I am feeling better and am able to keep up a little better with my grandchildren. Thank you my friends for following me through this process. I am so thankful for the support. If you have any questions about this challenge or would like to join the program for free you can send me an email I will help you get started with a free code.

My Update: 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge

Week two is over and we are headed into week three. The second week was a little harder for me to stay on track. I had to squeeze my workout in at random times during the day. I would have liked to stick to a schedule but, Pooh Bear had no intention of sticking to a schedule this week.
Areas I need to try to improve?
This week I need to focus on eating more vegetables.
I need to drink more water.
I need to get to bed earlier.
What has helped me on Dustin Maher’s Fit Mom’s For Life Program? 

Keeping a food journal. I like being able to look back and see where my problem areas are. It's also nice to see when I have been eating more healthy. 

The Facebook group is supportive, helpful in answering questions and keeps me accountable.

The menus are easy to use and are easy to find substitutes for items you may not want to use. 

The points plan that we are using is great and fun to follow. I find its easy to keep track of exercise and food points. I can look back on my points for the day or week and decide where I need improvement. 

I am happy with my progress. I am planning to keep working on being fit and healthy for many years to come.

My Update: 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge

I had to travel this weekend and did not do so well with eating healthy. We left very early Friday morning and drove most of the day. I packed our family peanut butter sandwiches on 100% wheat bread for breakfast. For lunch we had whole grain pita wraps with vegetables and humus dip. Dinner was my down fall. We had grandpas fried chicken. I did not want to hurt him by not eating. He worked hard on preparing a home cooked meal even though he had just finished a 16 hour shift at work. Saturday we had lots of company, a birthday party and too much food. I just gave up and enjoyed the food and fine company. Sunday was great though. I made a fruit and vegetable tray for the ride home. We munched on this for breakfast and lunch and did not eat any fast food. I failed with my workouts as I was unable to sneak away from the party for even a few minutes. I am not too worried though. I have already made the effort today to get back on track. I fit my workout in early and I have been very good with eating today.  Thank you my blogging friends for all your support.

Update: 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge Day 7

I have been enjoying the cardio workouts every other day and strength training the other days of the week. First, I was a little worried about hurting my self during the work outs after all I am not a spring chicken. I started out slow and was careful not to do anything that caused pain. Now I am really feeling great about my work outs. I have increased energy and I am not craving sweets! Last, but not least I have lost 3 lbs!! Now, that I did not expect so soon. I owe this all to Dustin Maher the author of the book Fit Moms For Life. There are two more weeks to go for this challenge and I plan to keep pushing my self to go as far as I can. If you would like you can check out some of the other moms in the 21 day weight loss challenge.

Update: 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge

This is day 5 of  the 21 day challenge weight loss challenge created by Dustin Maher the author of the book Fit Moms For Life. I am proud to say I have been sticking with my diet and I have been exercising every day. I am really enjoying the cardio. After exercising I have a burst of energy and I am using that to its fullest extent. I felt like I was spring cleaning today. That is how much energy I had. Now for the strength training I am not loving it. I am working on it. I don't mind the hard work I just don't enjoy it as much as the cardio. 

For week one we were also challenged to read something we enjoy for at least 10 minutes per day. I have not had a problem doing this since I love to read.

For this week the additional challenge is to have a 10 minute conversation with your spouse every day. Again I think that won't be a problem.

What are you doing to be healthy?
