I feel like every Wednesday I say "I'm really seriously trying to get back on track!" and then have ten million reasons that I can't eat clean and can't find time to exercise. I signed up for the Mr. Shut Up and Train 21 Day Fall Challenge weeks ago and when it started on Sunday I was like "oh I just got back from my bachelorette party I can't exercise" and then have had some excuse every day since, so imagine my shock when I opened up my email this morning to this little ditty from Mr. Shut Up himself:
Excuse me, sir, have you tapped my phone? Are you reading my mind?
So despite the fact that I have a friend's birthday happy hour to attend, I'm making it work today. The rules are simple:
 |
| Simple to understand. Not so simple to follow. No booze for 21 days?!?!? |
So, food rules above + doing the damn thing (aka the videos he emails every morning) = results. I've done his challenges before and been really pleased with the results, in fact the first time I did a challenge with him my only goal was to "try" this whole clean eating thing (he's who got me hooked!) and to be able to do 10 pushups without having to go on my knees. By the end I could do 30 traveling pushups. So, yeah.
This is going to be the kick in the butt that I need. Let's. Go!

You go girl! Kinda creepy how it could read your mind.... LOL!
ReplyDeleteI really would love to do this with you but it is football season and I want to have a drink or two here and there! j/k - actually I'm still limited with the neck situation so what have the workouts been like?
ReplyDeleteI decided to join it with you and went to the site but cannot find an option to sign up. Am I missing something or is it too late?
ReplyDeleteNever mind, I found it. yay! I get to do my first video tomorrow. BOOM
DeleteI was just saying that I want to do another challenge. I don't see where to sign up either?
ReplyDeleteFried food and fast food would be easy - but the writing everything down would be hard lol!! Good luck girl!!
ReplyDeleteGOOD FOR YOU! It's all a process - and you are keeping yourself accountable!
ReplyDeleteGO KICK SOME BUTT!
this is a good idea. i am really bad with challenges and that and my excuses are just spilling out of my ears - every day i'm like ok, get up. ok i didn't get up, go to the gym after work. ok, maybe tomorrow. gah!
ReplyDeleteYou lost me at no beer. And no fries. lol! Buttttt that is my problem...and I need to get on fixing that. I can say no all week...but then Saturday comes around and I loose my mind. Silly excuses. Good luck, you got this! You are stronger than me!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay,
ReplyDeleteVisiting from #wowlilnkup to check out your 21 day challenge details. I love the motivation that challenges provide. I am so glad you found one that you can stick to and succeed with! You go girl!
i admire you so much for doing this challenge! i'm looking forward to seeing how it goes for you. i THINK i could do it, but i'll let you do it first!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look like great solid rules for getting those results :) Can't wait to hear how it goes! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteThat is a kick butt challenge! I think I could do it all, besides the no booze thing. My two year old and I are working on potty training. Worst idea ever. Though in reality I don't need a glass of wine at night, it sure is nice!! That being said, I'm seriously considering this since that's the only one (oh and the copious amounts of water!) that I don't do pretty regularly. Thanks for the inspiration! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteI don't do well with strict rules but I love challenges! Good for you for sticking to something that motivates you! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteOh oh I can't wait to see your progress from this!! Mr. Shut Up and Train sounds like a lot of something!! You can do it though. And you will have fun while you're at it. But no alcohol for 21 days? Oh the pressure. Jes kidding. You will do just fine! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteThere you go! We are human we all take steps backwards every once in a while. The good thing is that you're getting back up and "doing the damn thing" <---love that. Isn't is strange that sometimes we hear or get the message right when we need it?? Good job girl!
ReplyDelete(PS I totally understand missing booze. I'm going on week....4?)
Good speed on your challenge, you can do this!!!! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteThanks for this enlightning post. Please keep sharing.
