MY EXTREME 30 DAY LIFESTYLE CHALLENGE

14lbs on and my waist is probably the biggest it’s ever been…

This challenge has been the best and toughest challenge I’ve taken part in.

I seen this challenge more of a subjective study to aid my understanding and gain a deeper awareness of what obstacles members have faced on a daily basis

and

the coping mechanisms used to deal with these obstacles…

I’ve seen how their previous habits have been so detrimental physically and mentally.

From my experience and that described by my members

I identified a “cycle” that is never ending but needs to be intercepted and stopped…

Briefly

One finding that is quite obvious is the need for more “energy”

Constantly I found myself needing to nap throughout the day…

Why?

Due to the consumption of caffeine that gave me a well needed spike which then followed a severe drop in energy

which lead me to

members old habits; reaching for another kind of pick me up “sugar” which came in the form of chocolate, energy drinks, buns you name it I reached for it….

But as you’ve guessed that’s pretty short lived!

Every time I consumed my share of “energy” what followed was a crash

This was my daily “cycle”

I’ll be completely transparent with you…

It was draining

It was starting to affect my mental state

My productivity was awful

Which made me feel on edge

My mood started to drop

My positivity was dwindling

There were days that I wasn’t present for anyone or anything!

The last few days I felt down

Completely deflated

I knew in my head if I could train this would help me refocus

But

If I could train I wouldn’t have the energy

so then my next thought was get a coffee grab some chocolate

And so

The “energy cycle” started again…

What kept me going was what I was discovering about my members and also about myself….

Yeah it was 30 days (a short time, I know)

Switch the roles and try following my lifestyle for 30 days…

I never want anyone to live like me or for me to live like them…

My goal is to educate members on how to adjust their lifestyle that leads to achieving their goals and allows them to live happily and contently…

Challenge yourself today

Step out of your comfort zone
