30 Day Fitness Challenge



Today I am starting a 30 day fitness challenge. I know that it may seem strange that the owner of a blog dedicated to fitness is starting a fitness challenge with himself but it is high time.

We all move forward in lurches, making changes small and large and then coasting a bit until the next go round and I am the same as anyone. This Summer I have been doing a lot of coasting, exercising randomly, eating only so so and just letting myself enjoy Summer in a somewhat lazy way.

Not Anymore

We got back from camping a few days ago and now I have decided that it is time to do a 30 day fitness challenge to get myself back in tip top shape. I weighed myself last night and I am sitting at 203.4 pounds and my daughter took before pics of me (not sharing those till later) and so today I am getting everything cleaned up as far as diet and exercise are concerned.

30 Day Fitness Challenge Starters

Preplanning meals – I will be preplanning the weeks meals so we don’t eat take out as much

Portion control – This is a big one for me. My wife cooks very healthy stuff but I don’t always say no when I should

Junk Food – I am not very good lately. I have more than my one allotted treat per day but at least I have given up the coke and coffee that were such a problem over the years

Everyday Exercise – I am not exercising daily and I can feel it in my strength, agility, energy, and concentration on tasks. Also I get tired easily (sleepy tired I mean)

Prioritize Rest and Fun – I have not been prioritizing much lately and it is starting to show. I need the “To do” and “Not to do” lists to come back into my life

Keep my mind sharp – I have to start trying new things and getting my mind sharp by doing the things that I am not familiar with, maybe a new sport but at least changing a few things up in my regular daily routine.

So that’s me. how about you? Are you interested in following along or taking part? I will be posting lots of my findings, feelings, and frustrations, so we can all go through this together.

Is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet Right For You?

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots is an online fat and weight loss program. It is a safe and all-natural diet program that functions on the theory of calorie shifting. The theory of calorie shifting states that you need to take a varied collection of carbohydrates-rich foods in order to boost your body’s rate of metabolism. The theory asserts that the body is not able to determine the amount and kind of food that you will ingest in the succeeding days. As such, your body essentially burns off calories based only on your recent eating patterns. The theory hypothesizes that by not taking in the same kinds of calorie-rich foods each and every day, the body’s metabolic rate is intensified. Thus, the body will be able to burn off calories and, subsequently, fat tissues quicker.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots program also preaches 10 rules essential to fat and weight loss. These are:
1. management of calorie intake
2. intake of four meals each day, with around 2 ½ hours interval between meals
3. preparation of own meals at home
4. rotation between protein and carbohydrates-rich meals
5. limiting use of condiments and eating meals as plain as possible
6. intake of six to eight eight-ounce glasses of water everyday
7. knowing when to stop eating
8. taking in only particular drinks
9. avoidance of sweets and snacks; and
10. getting out regularly for a walk as a means of exercise.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots is all natural and safe. It does not require you to take pills and dietary supplements. However, is this the fat and weight loss plan that is exactly right for you? If you are overweight, which means you are heavier by five to 30% than your normal weight, which in turn is ten to 20% heavier than the ideal weight for your height and weight, then it is definitely high time for you to fight impending obesity.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots program will work for you because of a handful of reasons. Firstly, at only $39 dollars ($20 for the Diet Generator and $19 for the Diet Handbook) it is one of the cheapest in the internet. What’ more, it actually has a money-back guarantee. Secondly, this fat and weight loss program features instructions that are considerably easy to follow. The diet menu consists of dishes that are easy to cook, which you will particularly find a relief since you will be cooking all your meals at home. Even the ingredients for the dishes in the diet menu are easy to find and there is no need to buy pre-packaged food and expensive dietary supplements. Thirdly, the focus of this fat and weight loss program is on meal plan and reasonable exercise for beginners. You are encouraged to take regular walks and to perform other low-intensity exercises for at least 30 minutes everyday.
However, this program may also not work for you. If you are the type who is an exercise buff, say, you perform exercises for an hour or more a day, you will find that the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program does not contain sufficient amount of calories. Also, the program tends to become dreary and repetitive, largely due to the fact that you have to stick to the menu plan that has been laid out for you.
It is worth noting, though, that there seems to be more positive points going for the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program than negative ones. Thus, this is definitely a fat and weight loss program that is worth trying.
