Day #1: My June, 2015 Challenge (June 1 - June 30)
June 1 - June 30 Challenge
Summary:
Two years ago I embarked on something very similar. I did a 30 day smoothie/raw food challenge to help find the root cause of my migraines, i.e. it's association to what I eat.
I discovered that food (i.e. processed food had a negative impact on my health and wellness). So I continued juicing consistently for the last two years. On the flip side, the 16lbs that I lost during that challenge of juicing/raw eating, I gained it all back.
However, this experience has really taught me what are some of the fundamental keys to success in any aspect of my life. My journey to where I am now had so many challenges, but I am embarking on this 30 day exercise because I am STRONGER, WISER and more equipped than 2 years ago.
In addition to doing this 30 day challenge I am participating in a 55 day journey where my quest is to drop at least 20 -30 lbs of my body weight. This journey is in conjunction with using the Hi5 Challenge products.
There are 10 prices for men and 10 prices for women. The first price is $25K. I am going to do all I can to WIN, because quitting is NOT an option for me and I am ALL in to succeed.
So stay tune and continue reading daily as I post videos on the smoothies, video blogs, etc. I will pour myself unto this page so you can understand the journey in more details.
Welcome to my blog and let the journey begin.
I will be going to the gym at least one day 6 days of the week and doing workout videos at least one a day for 6 days a week. My goal is to run a 5K in 35 minutes by the end of this 55 day journey.
Exercise programs on my List:
- Couch to 5K
- T25
- Insanity
- Zumba
- Yoga
Eating Regimen:
My goal is to drink at least three smoothie a day.
