That's it, that does it, it's time for a SIX WEEK CHALLENGE!

It's the night before I start my new Six Week Challenge and I feel pretty good. I have no desire to eat nasty food, I don't feel a sense of doom and gloom about not being able to eat what I want for the next six weeks, all I am feeling is a strange sense of calm.

Weight loss challenges can be hard especially when you follow a challenge that is not for you and this is why I have come up with a plan that suits me and I know I can handle. During the last challenge I completed it became apparent that bread and sugar are my weight gainers! I tend to gain weight quickly whenever I eat  fresh baked goods so, out the door they go along with every other nasty that I like such as all junk food and anything fried..... sob, sob!

Every day for the next six weeks, I shall be writing what I ate and how I spent that energy through movement. This will enable me to keep track of what works and what doesn't and then hopefully once and for all I will end up with my magic formula because let's face it, we are all different, there is no magic one way solution for everyone, well that's what I think anyway!

THE PLAN

So here's the deal, for the next 6 weeks, I will do the following:

1) No sugar - except what already exists in fruit and yoghurt

2) No bread, no yeast products, no crackers, no baked goods NONE!

3) No treat days - it's only 6 weeks, it's not going to kill me!

4) Exercise at least 5 days a week, I will most likely do 6

5) Weigh in once a week, measure once every 3 weeks

6) 7-8 hrs sleep - this is a toughie for me!

7) At least 10 glasses of water per day!

8) Portion control! I hate doing this but I am going to weigh all my food!

9) No alcohol!

10) 6 small meals per day, incl. 2 green smoothies, 1 protein shake, 70% raw diet and reduced meat consumption (no more than 3 days per week)

There you have it, just 10 little rules to success

So here's to tomorrow the start of Day 1 and finally, a video!
