28 Days To A Better Me - A Personal Challenge

Okay, I am so ready to admit it, I've been bad! I so thought I was out of the woods, that food wasn't going to control me anymore but I guess you could say I relapsed. That said, I am not dwelling on it I am just here to say that I am ready to get sober again lol in a sense anyway.


Are any of you watching Dr. Oz???? He's so fantastic and he says it takes 28 days to break a habits and create new ones. So I am challenging myself to make 5 changes (that I have chosen) for the next 28 days. So here are the changes I have decided to make......


  1. Replace Breakfast with a Protein Drink

  2. Drink 64oz of Water and/or Crystal Light Daily

  3. No Snacking, none at all!!

  4. Participate in 1 Hour of Cardio Activity 7 Days a Week!

  5. Strengthen my Core by doing Pilates 7 Days a Week!

Now, is this a tall order, yes!!!! Can you imagine if I actually did this though??? Wow I can't wait to see what my body looks like in 28 days! Keep a look out because I am going to be posting regularly, my triumphs and my struggles. Day 1 is Oct 1st!!!
