Today marks the beginning of my 100 healthy days with well I am! I must admit I am both excited and nervous about the journey that lies ahead!
For those who of you who do not know what well I am is – it is a lifestyle challenge, where you pledge to 100 healthy days, to transform your body, your habits and your life.
As a family we do follow a fairly healthy eating plan, which has been leaning towards a more banting approach. We also try to exercise a minimum of 3 time per week, which includes cardio and weight training. The thing you do begin to realise, though, is when you get to a certain age{no numbers mentioned}, maintaining fitness levels and weigh-loss is not as easy as it was in your 20’s! It becomes very much about being disciplined and having a well balanced lifestyle.
Although not officially, my family will also be joining me on my journey of 100 Healthy Days! I feel that this is a great way to encourage both healthy living and fitness, for the whole family and making it more of a lifestyle, than a diet or weight-loss program!
The beginning of the challenge could not be at a worse time for me, winter is when all I want to do is eat comfort food and to top it all, it is the start of the school holidays! I am however determined to make this challenge work for me and get my body summer ready!
I am not hugely over weight but I have at least 10kg which I need to lose and I would like to be able to run a half marathon by the end of the year! So there are no cheats, no shortcuts or half-measures – I simply need to put the work in to get the results.
The great thing about doing the 100 Healthy Days challenge, is that you have the support of well i am. They offer meal plans, exercise programs and inspiration for your journey!
The most uncomfortable part of the process leading up to the challenge, was taking the before photographs, you really feel quite vulnerable and exposed. It also forces you to acknowledge, that there is indeed work to be done! It is amazing how much you can hide under layers of clothing but that been said I am excited to get started and see the transformation!
You can still register for the challenge even though it starts today. I will be sharing my 100 Healthy Days journey with you both on the blog and on social media, using the hashtag #wia100healthydays. Please follow along and if you are doing the challenge as well please leave a comment below, so that I can follow your progress as well.
