21 day Challenge - Buddies needed

saudamini · Jun 26, 2012

Hi Kadal,
Welcome to the thread. Congrats on taking the first step to being consistent. Please keep updating. Though I am not a nutritionist, but my two cents about your diet - Why is there no fruit in your diet? You are breastfeeding so having a fruit would help and keep you filled. Maybe you can add this also to your 21 day challenge - having two servings of a fruit daily.

Cheers

Count me in too!!

I too believe in starting with baby steps since I have failed miserably earlier!! 15 minutes of exercise daily! From tomorrow, though..

Btw, my earlier challenges were something like this:
"I have decided to lose 15 kgs in 6 months.. So far I have lost.................3 months!!!!!"

Want to change it!

Hi Smriti,
Welcome to the thread. I also started with something like i want to lose 'x kg in y month' and set myself up for an unrealistic goal. Naturally i failed. So what did I do? Did I start again. Nah!! I went ahead and sabotaged whatever I had managed thinking that if I have already lost track so whats the point in continuing.

So this time I have decided to do it everyday, no matter what, even if I am doing it only for 10 minutes. So join in and keep updating!!!

Cheers

Hi Deepara - Welcome to the thread. Please keep updating and try doing the exercise every day even if it is for 10 mins. Every minute counts!!!

My Update

Yesterday - 15 mins treadmill (in the evening).

Today - 10 mins exercise (anulom vilom and stretching) in the morning. Woke up late so could squeeze only 10 mins.

My Update-Day 3

10 minutes exercise in the morning. Again got up late. I think I will have to add 'waking up early' also in my 21 days challenge.

Yesterday no evening exercise, since got home at 9.30 p.m.
