Five Day "Challenge" Update

After my hard work this week, I have my schedule of the last five days and will also include the main rules that I set for myself. The only thing I found difficult to do was work out twice a day but I made it work as much as I could. Also, keep in mind I was traveling Thursday and Friday and couldn't really fully complete those days. I am very happy with how this turned out anyways because the main idea was to get me to stop craving sweets all the time and to restart my healthy lifestyle, which it did. Although I couldn't work out certain times, I still understood and followed the main idea of the schedule as best I could. I would recommend this to anyone trying to start up their weight loss or healthy lifestyle! Here were the main rules I set for myself:

- Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day
- Eat slower!
- Avoid adding extras (salt, seasonings, sugar, etc)
- Work out twice a day
- Drink a cup of green tea every night (boosts metabolism)
- No sweets!
- Try to go to bed as early as possible

I was disappointed I didn't finish this completely by not working out twice the last two days, not having green tea or the correct amount of water the last day. It was difficult while traveling. Although this is the case, tomorrow I have decided to start a new challenge. I will create a new post about this in case anyone cares to do it with me! I am starting tomorrow as a head start but generally, you could start it at the beginning of the week (AKA Monday). Thanks for reading!
