21 Day Challenge

Hi Everyone, 

Hope ye are all having a lovely weekend, the sun is shining so I think that instantly gives us a little boost to get out and get moving, whether it be going for a walk or doing the garden or evening just tidying up outside, remember every time we move or take a step we are burning calories and more importantly getting rid of fat as well as toning up, which lets face it is always a bonus..

So today I decided to write down my own personal goals that I want to achieve in the next month.. by doing this I thought of something I saw before on a website it was a 21 day "no junk challenge". Sweet things are definitely my downfall and I love nothing more than chocolate, sweets and biscuits and often find myself binging on them for comfort when I get into times of stress...

So I've decided to bite the bullet and go cold turkey, for the next 21 days I am getting rid of all the crappy foods, I've done up a list of what I'm getting rid of and here it is: 

For the next 21 days....

• No Chocolate
• No Sweets
• No Biscuits
• No Cakes, Scones or Muffins
• No Pastries
• No Take Aways
• No White Bread
• No Spreads (Butter, Jam, Nutella)
• No Ice-cream
• No Coleslaw or Potato Salad

There's the list, even looking at it makes me crave sweets! So I think this challenge will be hard but I know it has to be done because I think that by cutting out this for the 21 days it will cut my craving with sugar and in the end it will help me to become a healthier, happier person (although I think I may have a few mood swings cutting out the sugar but that's a chance I'm willing to take!!)

I'm asking anyone who might read this to maybe think about doing the same, maybe it might not be sweets or chocolate that's your downfall, it might be crisps or cheese, whatever it is write it down on your list and for 21 days say goodbye to that downfall, and we can all go on the same journey together, I think this will be good because if we have a bad day we can lean on one another for support and pull each other through and after 21 days we will have achieved our goal, we will feel so much better and we will feel in control and more confident in ourselves. 

Let's stop having food as our crutch, let's take control from this second on, let's be the people we want to be, look the way we want to look and don't let anyone say that we can't do it, don't let them tear you down and make you feel like you can't achieve anything, take this time to use the voice that you were given....

A quote by Alice Walker says

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any"

Don't give up your power, not today, not tomorrow, never, you are behind the steering wheel, do what you want to do and not what other people want you to do... 

Think about the challenge and try and do it.. I'd really appreciate the support!

Stay Strong,

Little Miss Sunshine
