The last day. I finished strong. Ate well, run in the morning, it was a good day.

Looking back on this 30 day challenge I can say there were some ups and downs but more ups for sure. I think the main thing I realized is that if I put my mind to something, I can accomplish it. There have been several false starts as it pertains to my health and fitness goals over the past few years. Glad to feel back on track.

Date: November 27th, 2013

Inches Lost: 7.5

So what’s next? Continuing Dec 1st for another 30 day challenge. I’ve taken off the past 3 days but I don’t want to negate all my hard work. One tweak I’m making is to allow 3 cheat meals versus 1 day per week. I may take all 3 or none, but I’m trying to allow a bit of leeway for the holidays. And most days I don’t want to feel like I’m cheating all day, maybe just for a brunch or a dinner. But the rest of the format will stay the same. And hopefully by New Years I’ll have had another successful 30 day challenge.

Thanks to all who have read and encouraged me along the way. Especially to those who were doing it with me (Nancy and Megan) and to those who have been inspired and will be making an effort soon. 😉
