A bit ago I joined a 4 week challenge and aimed to lose 8 lbs in that time.
Then I plateaued.
It seemed like I plateaued just as the challenge started, then I got discouraged and frustrated. So I'm opting out. I'm still trying to get 30 min cardio in daily, plus drink all my water (10 cups daily), but I'm not focusing on how much weight I'm losing. The weight will come off eventually. I just need to keep eating right, drinking water, and exercising.
But I joined another challenge group. This is the July challenge group and is different from the other. Basically, it's a point system. You get 1 point for each minute of exercise you do, plus 1 bonus point for each cup of water you drink.
So far for July I'm up to 237 points.
I don't know what that means yet, but it has kept me drinking my water. Tomorrow we're hiking Ousel Falls, so I'll get some exercise in, too. Today it was a bit scarce, with just a walk after dinner. But tomorrow is 4th of July, so we'll hike and then watch the fireworks up at Big Sky. It should be a good day.
