    thefameofhealthandfitness: With this challenge I will provide some guidelines but please note, I’m not a trainer and I’m not a nutritionist, but I am person who is passionate about health and fitness and I have worked hard to get to where I am. How you design this challenge is in your hands. I will provide you with some suggestions and examples to help guide you but ultimately you will be the person setting your goals for the next 30 days. You don’t have to prove anything to me or other readers, you just need to prove to yourself that you are capable of doing what you set out to do, because you are. Mistakes, missed meals or workouts, unplanned cheats or temptations might happen. And if it does, don’t focus on the bump in the road, focus on getting over that bump and right back on track. Each meal, workout, hour of sleep, and each day is a new opportunity to learn from your mistakes. It’s an opportunity to reflect on each situation and to devise a plan for success when you get your second chance. There’s always another opportunity for change and become a better version of yourself. Only you know the direction you want to go in and only you know where you’re currently standing. SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS 30 DAY CHALLENGE: Get your sweat on for 30-120 minutes a day for 4-6 days a week (you can use your own program or something you found in a magazine. But whatever you choose, it needs to be consistent for the next 4 weeks). Every Sunday schedule in your workouts for the week Eat a clean meal every 2-3 hours (5-7 meals a day) (check out Tosca Reno’s EAT CLEAN DIET book, Oxygen magazine, my recipes/meals’ pages, or the Clean Eating magazine for some guidelines) Eat protein with 3-7 of your meals Cut out all added salt Cut out all added sugar Cut out all white flour Get 7-9 hours of sleep every day Drink 1-2 glasses of water with each meal Drink 1-5 cups of decaf green or white tea a day Avoid drinking alcohol if possible Drink coffee before your workout if you need an extra boost (avoid energy drinks) Prepare all your meals the night before Schedule in 0-2 cheat meals a week (FYI: cheat “meal” does not equal a day) If you plan on cheating also plan on what you will be having before the day Say “No thank you” to treats that are unplanned Eat your last meal 1-3 hours before bed Take your measurements in the AM (on Monday, January 30th or Tuesday, January 31st) and again when the challenge ends. Measurements can include: photos in a bikini, using a measuring tape to measure your body (e.g., thighs, chest etc.), the scale, body fat %, try on a tigher pair of jeans etc. This is up to you but I don’t recommend you just use the scale! It is not the best indicator of your hard work. Try your best Give it your all Ditch your excuses, it’s only 30 days - you’ll live RULES FOR THE CHALLENGE!!! RULE #1: If you are joining this challenge you will need to make a post on your blog stating what your goals are for the next 30 days (feel free to “steal” the NO EXCUSES picture and repost it on your blog). For example: I will cook all my meals and bring my lunch to work every day I will drink 500ml before I arrive at work every day I will not drink alcohol during the next 30 days I will workout 5 days a week for 60 minutes I will have one cheat meal on ____________ and it will be 2 pieces of pizza from ____________. I will go to bed by 9:00PM Sun-Thur RULE #2: You will need to post at least once a week (if not several times a week) how your challenge is going. RULE #3: You MUST be honest. Honesty is key to change. If you mess up, reflect on it, get back to it, and do better the next time. RULE #4: You need to TAG your challenge posts with #noexcuseschallenge so myself or any reader can see how you’re doing. Remember, we are all here together on the same journey towards health. No judgement. RULE #5: Measure yourself at the end of your 30 days (in the same fashion you measured yourself originally) and make a post about your results. This could include your measurements, how your clothes fit, how your body or mind feel, personal realizations, etc. RULE #6: Have fun and enjoy your journey!

    intheonehundreds:

    Weight loss is a weird thing, because when your goal weight is far away you have this model mentality about being skinny, and then once you get there, you’ve still got the same body type you had before, its just…smaller.

    The further I get from the biggest I was, its harder to remember how far I’ve come, and therefore easier to get discouraged about my shape, if that makes any sense. Not to say I don’t think I’m a total babe at least like, 95% of the time, but occasionally I fall victim to the constant onslaught of images of tiny tiny women that we’re all subjected to daily.

    Maintenance is a weird place to be in, because even though I could go down a bit, and could tone up a bit (and am hoping to do so) not much is going to change from here as far as overall size and shape goes. Which is weird and hard to wrap my brain around. It’s not always the easiest to feel 100% okay with being on the curvier end of healthy. 

    I’ve spent this morning looking at old photos of myself, there arent a ton of me at my biggest (because I was the saddest ever and avoided cameras like the plague) but I scrounged up some before and after pictures, and I’m gonna post em here, because I think its good to remind myself of where I’ve been, and how far I’ve come, especially on days where I’m feeling a bit discouraged. Because at the end of the day, I’m healthier and happier than ever, and a few photos of skinny ladies on tumblr shouldnt take that away from me.  

    zomg i feel like EXACTLY the same way. seriously. 

    If it’s any consolation, your body type is absolutely gorgeous. If you’re wanting smaller hips, just know that that generally means you have a bigger stomach (like me) when you weigh more and you have to be a hell of a lot skinnier to look “thin”. At 120, I looked chubby. I have a friend who weighs 10 lbs less than me who has a body like you.. she looks like she weighs 30+ lbs less than me and she has a perfectly flat stomach- I am far from it.

    Seriously, your body is gorgeous.. your body shape is gorgeous. I’d kill for that. :-/
