    Tameka’s Challenge- Day 8


    2012 - 05.07

    Ok…. I failed. But I will say this, even though I did not complete the challenge as laid out in the guidelines I posted I did keep the meals laid out for 4 straight days then incorporated my cheats. One thing I did gain from this challenge was that it got me back into the habit of wanting to eat healthy again, taking vitamins, drinking TONS of water and staying away (mostly) from carbs such as pasta, bread and rice.

    I did incorporate a cheat day on Sunday so that I could stay in the game for the long run and not completely give up. The last time I weighed myself, I was down 4 lbs. While I don’t think 4 lbs is a massive change, I will say that I see the results visually! Here is a quick preview:

    Day 3 Update

    OK- This diet is a little harder than I expected. Day two  and three have been brutal and I am starting to crave EVERYTHING! I will need to post a disclaimer for anyone trying this challenge: it is definitely note for the faint of heart. You better be dedicated! Here is yesterday mornings’ workout. I was too tired to go this morning but I am gonna go for a run this afternoon. Day 3 is almost done!

    Tricep Dips- 3 sets of 20, 20 lunges between each set. This comes out to: 60 Tricep Dips, 60 Lunges!

    My friends’ wife started this crazy diet a few weeks ago and she leaned out quick! She looks so freaking amazing that my dumb ass is going to try and see if I can do it too! You think Paleo was hard??? This is MUCH more challenging! With bathing suit season around the corner, I need something to motivate me and challenge me. This is my next 30 day challenge. The challenge starts May 1st and will end on May 31st. Wish me luck!!! If you are joining me during this challenge, please post your comments on this post so we can track each others progress.
