30 Day 3 by 3 challenge will end on October 18Th.

Back in Action!!!

Fall is an important time to get into a healthy routine. People tend to put on more weight over the upcoming holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) than any other time of the year.  Considering that, it is time to begin the 3 by 3 challenge. In this challenge, you must do 30min of exercise, 3 times a week. This is to establish the beginning to a healthier you.  The goal is to do this challenge for 30days. Every 3 days, I will add something extra to the challenge. The person who loses the most weight at the end of the 30 days will be the first ever featured person on the Healthy Me blog........and since your mind is made up.....lets start today!

Stay tuned for the 3 by 3 challenge!

Challenge Total

So I lost a total of 5lbs during the 10 Day Challenge....did anyone beat that?

Day 10 of 10 Day Challenge

Wow, you are so amazing to complete all 10 days. Don't stop now, keep it moving. You learned that it is possible to move everyday for at least 30min, so apply this to your life. Make it important to you and it WILL happen. I'm sure you have noticed some changes along the way as well. It could be that you are more mindful of your time, your family, what your eating, or maybe you even lost a few pounds. I would love to hear your stories. Today I will be taking the kids swimming and update you on my final weigh-in!     Keep it Moving!

Day 9 of 10 Day Challenge

Today was another walking day with the children. The goal was 45min instead of 30, in support of a friend who is doing a 3 day Healthy Challenge. Instead of walking to the store, we walked around our neighborhood. Children can get really bored walking (especially if you have a 2 year old) so we made it an adventure. We were pirates looking for treasure (the "crystal" rocks you can find anywhere)! We had a great time, another great family memory!

Day 8 of 10 Day Challenge

Today the children and I walked to a nearby store. It was a 15min walk there and back. So that in itself would have completed my days worth of physical activity. But I also walked around the store for another 15min as well, bringing my daily total to 45min. One thing I realized on the walk was that we had so much to talk about, verses driving in the car (which would turn the trip from 15min into about 2min). When in the car we have the distraction of the music that is playing. On the walk, we enjoyed each other so much more.....it was quality time! So in the end, we were healthy to our physical body, healthy to our relationships and saved some money on gas! What great things have you discovered during your 10 day challenge?

Day 7 of 10 Day Challenge

Wow, only 3 days left! Today consisted of 2 hours of housework. Nothing like burning calories and also having a clean home. I have been eating vegan for the past 19 days, and be physical for 30 mins at least for the past 7 days, which has brought upon my 5lb weight-loss. This has been an exciting journey, I feel physically great. No coffee or chocolate for me and I have tons of energy!

Day 6 of 10 Day Challenge

Congrats you are more than halfway done! Today, I walked for 30 min, in this Colorado heat! So tanning and physical activity went hand in hand (another two birds one stone situation, stay with me people). You have to multi-task in this present world. Dont let "life" be the excuse that you are overweight and/or unhealthy. Be good to YOU! Just 4 more days to go!

Day 5 of the 10 Day Challenge

Today was outside which is a great variation to the daily routine. We went to a local Black Arts Festival and walked around for about 45min. It didnt seem like exercise because my mind was more engaged in the festival and not the walking.... I urge you to change up the routine, find things you like and kill two birds with one stone! Also, I have already lost some weight!

Day 4 of the 10 Day Challenge

Today was so fun! The kids and I danced for 30min! It would have looked really crazy if you walked in on us (some of the dance moves I busted out lol) but it was  a great cardio workout and we were got our heart beating! Try this at home by yourself, with a friend or with the whole family.  Not every workout requires weights and running.

Day 3 of the 10 Day Challenge

How is your challenge going? Mine has been interesting. Their have been days that I didnt really feel like doing anything, so I found ways to be creative. On this day, I did 30 min of housework and some walking. Yes, even housework burns calories! So pick up that mop, broom or sponge and get busy and stay fit!

Day 2 of the 10 Day Challenge

Today was another 30 day at home work out. I am often asked about how I workout at home. I usually look up routines online, alter them to my liking or intensity, maybe add some extra cardio and then do it! I like to do different routines everyday because I get bored really fast. Yesterday the kids joined me by copying me and helping me to keep track of time in my 17 set 1 min routine. It was family-time mixed with living a healthy lifestyle....healthy family time lol!
  How did you do today?

Day 1 of 10 Day Challenge

Today I choose to walk during my lunch breaks. I also had to walk from my car to and from work. This was a total of 25mins. Then I did a 40min workout at home, which consisted of cardio and strength training. My total for today was 65min of physical activity. How did you do today?

10 days of Physical Activity CHALLENGE!!!

Follow along the 10 days of physical activity challenge by posting your name and commitment date below. If we are on day 9, please do 9 days with us (do as many as you want on your own) but this way we will not have any confusion.
Rules: Everyday you must do at least 30min of physical activity, it can be a general workout, dancing, running, walking, cleaning house. Whatever, just move!  Keep track of your start weight, track again at 5 days, 8 days and the 10th day.
We want to see who can lose the most weight! What ever amount of weight you lose, I will run that in miles within a week. If you lose 10lbs, I will run 10 miles in a week.
