Personal challenge, 30,000 in 30 days


Recommended Posts

I really need to lose some weight.

For the next 30 days, it will seem that I'm living on the treadmill.

I want to burn at least 1000 calories per day.

The treadmill's calorie counter is what I will be using.

I walk with an incline instead of running, so it takes a while.

 

Hopefully with an almost raw diet I will shed some excess baggage.

Do you mix that with water? Also, great job with your squats! Good luck on burning 30,000 calories walking on your treadmill

 

Hi bunny.

Yes I mix the berry flavored with water, I really don't like the choco or regular.

About 1 scoop per 2 cups of water.

I prefer the vega with soymilk, but I'm trying for very high raw.

Thanks VI, Crystal and bunny.

I'm ahead of schedule so far.

 

I don't know how much to expect to lose.

2 inches should be easy, but 4 would be really nice (but not likely).

 

I won't be working most of the rest of the month.

So there is no reason to not make it to at least 30K.

 

I am feeling a little obsessed with this goal already.

Between treadmilling and lifting, it's taking over 3 hours of my day.

If I lose at least 2 inches, then I consider it time well spent.

it's taking over 3 hours of my day..

That's something I want to get used to as well - 3 or more hours doing something that I enjoy and that makes me feel really good physically, mentally, & emotionally. Good luck - I hope you can retain the enjoyment aspect of all your hard work!

Hi bunny,

The treadmilling has been more work than enjoyable.

I feel like a hamster running in his little wheel.

I would rather be hiking some hill somewhere else.

This is good though, some temporary boring hard work.

The prize is worth the hard work.

 

But I do feel better, eating mostly raw and working out.

I sleep better through the night, no more tossing and turning.

At least I don't notice it like I did before.

Jumping Rope is another great way to burn some calories, unfortunately it doesn't have a counter for you to keep track, but this looks awesome, and I'm glad you're doing so well.

 

Thanks Ed,

As long as I keep going everyday, it should be easy.

I have no excuse not to go at least 2 times everyday.
