Do this with us!! Watch this video! It's really cool, and sounds like a lot of fun.
(the video will start in the right place,
and you just need to watch the Matt Cutts portion = 5mins)

Scott happened to send me the link to this video the first day I tried the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I figured why not make that my first go at the 30 day challenge? If my two-year-old can do it, how hard can it be right? Actually, I'm not going to lie. Today was day 3, and I'm definitely feeling it. I was a little skeptical about how good of a workout 20 minutes could be, but my sore quads, calves, and lats say it's pretty good.
So here are the three key parts you need for a good 30 day challenge:
1. Have a buddy
Scott's going to be my buddy!
2. Make it interesting
I'd say Jillian Michaels with my 2-year-old every morning is going to be interesting!
My little personal trainer makes sure I don't slack. When he thinks I need more of a challenge, he makes sure to climb on my back while doing push-ups, or sit on my stomach during sit-ups.
He also makes sure I get a good stretch in after the workout.
Scott's going to eat breakfast everyday. This really is a challenge for him. He can go half the day without eating before he even realizes it. I on the other hand feel like I'm going to pass out by 9:00 a.m. if I don't eat. Since he plays basketball everyday at work before he eats lunch, he needs to eat breakfast!
The last and most important part of the video that stood out to me was:
3. The next 30 days are going to pass no matter what, so why not pick something you have always wanted to try, and give it a shot for the next 30 days!!!
What are you going to do for 30 days?
We need ideas!
Some other ideas I had off the top of my head were:
Take a picture everyday
Blog everyday
100% gluten free everyday
No weighing myself
Floss everyday
Go on a walk with Scott and Boston every night
Make a crock-pot dinner everyday
Eat Spoon It everyday. (I wish) Maybe if it wasn't $8 a lb., especially since I can't seem to walk away from there with less than a pound in my cup.
The good thing is that you get to change it every 30 days, so you don't have to think too hard or too long before you pick something. Just keep doing it!
I LOVE Boston in the head band! So funny! I'm totally inspired. Two thirty day challenges came to mind.
ReplyDelete1. Practice the piano every day. I have this notion that I have to play only classical stuff, but since I don't practice 4 hours a day anymore that's not possible. SO I learned a Linkin Park song yesterday on the piano and I loved it!
2. Write a novel. Stephenie Meyer inspired me to do this when she said in an interview that she wrote Twilight for herself. I love reading but have never written anything because I didn't think anyone would like it. So I'm going to write a novel for myself. Maybe next month :)
What a fun video of Boston! He is so CUTE! I love your 30 day challenge idea. I want to write in my journal every day. I have been a slacker for years and want to do some kind of gratitude journal. This will be fun!!
ReplyDeleteJust seeing if it will let me comment. I guess some people had trouble commenting. I'll try to figure out what's wrong.
ReplyDeleteBoy I will have to think a while on what I'd want to commit to for 30 days!
