Pre 30 Day Challenge Post.

Tomorrow brings around a 30 Day Spring challenge I will be completing with Jade Lee Mind Body Transformations.

Let’s back track a couple of steps.  I’m posting again.  For how long? Who knows… Hopefully this full 30 day challenge to start with.  I always say it… I miss posting and writing and I miss leaving all my worries on this virtual diary. I miss you guys. Life just gets in the way and sometimes it takes a while for you to find your way back.

ANYHOO!

30 Day Fitness & Health Challenge

I’m only 1 week off finishing my 16 week challenge and that has been a struggle over the last 6 weeks.  I’ve had a number of things go on and I’m almost off the wagon but I’m much more in front that behind, which is a positive.  Tomorrow will help jump start me for the next 16 week challenge.

Why am I posting a pre-challenge post? Jade was asking all the participants in the challenge tonight, what are our goals and what are we putting in place right now that will help achieve our first 7 day goal?

My goals for this 30 days are:
Build more lean muscle in my upper body and maintain my lower body
Execute 5 unassisted pullups
Execute 20 knuckle/toe pushups in a row

What am I doing to make sure I achieve my first 7 day goal? What is my first mini goal? Do I have a 7 day goal? Not yet but I have until tomorrow to work it out.  I have the long term ones worked out. To make sure I’m on track for all my goals is get my nutrition right.  No deviating off the meal plan. Stick to the meal plan! REPEAT; stick to the meal plan! That is going to be my struggle but I will do it.  It’s only 30 days.  That can be my 7 day goal.  The last thing I am going to do is make myself accountable by posting on here with my daily task that Jade has assigned for the day and what I ate all day.  I don’t want to let myself down but I think I get more disappointed when I let others down.

Tomorrow is my fitness test and weigh/measure/photos.  Those will be a little scary but numbers are just numbers.  They don’t always take into account muscle or beauty or strength.

Don’t forget to follow me on instagram @candicelancaster for more challenge updates, fitness posts and every day life fun!

La Love,
C.

Have you ever taken a step back and looked into your past to see what the ‘kid you’ thought you would grow up to be?  Compare that to the person you are now?  Are you the same person?  Well of course you are the same person, but yours dreams and aspirations, are they true reflections of who you are right at this point in time?

If so, then congratulations! Sincerely! I’d don’t know the official stats but I’m going to make up my own and say less than half of the population would really ‘grow up’ to be the person they dreamed of as a kid.

If not, then congratulations also! We are twins! I am most definitely not the person I thought I would be.  Dreams of becoming a hair dresser and a professional tennis player are now out the window. My other dream of becoming a zoologist is not quite out the window.  I could go back and study to do that but that dream is hidden away in my cupboard, probably never to show it’s face in full daylight again.

Another alternative is that you could be a ‘better’ person that you thought you ever could be. Maybe you have shown your competition that you have what it takes to be the best.

It’s amusing, the thought’s that run through your head while you eat breakfast at your desk, in your current day job, dreaming of being somewhere else, showing the world what you are made of. Maybe, just maybe, that will come true.

La Love,
