Today I finally decided. 21 Day challenge of not eating bread/muffins/bagels, cookies/crackers, ice cream, pudding and popsicles!
These are the foods that I keep eating that really aren't that great for me. So for 21 Days I am NOT going to eat them.
I hav---
OH MY GOD. Literally my mom just walked into my room and asked if I wanted to go to Dairy Queen. OMFG. I would've. But nooo. I can't. I'm not.
The reason why I am not is because I need to stop. I realized the one thing that is really holding me back is my eating. I generally eat healthy, other than those things that are listed above.
The reason why it is for 21 Days, is because I read somewhere that not eating bread/carbs for 21 days makes a huge difference. Thats not exactly what I am doing, but I feel like this 3 week plan is a good guideline.
It is going to be hard. I will try not to cheat. I already accidentally had 1 cracker today, because I forgot. But no. I am going to fucking do this hardcore.
Now, if you know my thoughts on health and fitness, you know that I am not one for "diets". Diets are dumb. You need to make a LIFESTYLE change. So, This isn't just for 21 days.
It is just a kickoff...
After the three weeks are up (which will be killer) I will not eat muffins/bagels, cookies/crackers, ice cream, pudding and popsicles every day of the week, except one day, which will be my "cheat day".
Because if you are a health guru at all, you know that you do need cheat days. Your lifestyle change will not work. I always say you should never "eliminate" something completely from your diet. But these foods aren't the healthiest. So I am going to give myself 1 cheat day a week to eat those foods.
After the three weeks I will eat bread though. Its just I am not eating bread to go with the carb thing. I am still eating carbs... just for three weeks I am taking a break from all of the bread as well, even though it can be healthy, I think a break would do my body good. A good "Cleanse".
I haven't decided yet, but I don't think I am going to "define" my cheat day. Like say, Sunday is my cheat day! Etc. Because if I say Sunday is my cheat day, and I go out for dinner with my friends on Friday and I want an ice cream, I can't have one. So I will just do whatever date feels best. If someday a friend offers me a cookie, well I guess thats my cheat day.
Although, I think all of my friends know my 1 rule. I don't count ANYTHING on Holidays. Easter, Halloween, Christmas, New Years, Birthdays. I will eat whatever. Which is why on easter I always eat ALL of my candy. Yea. Its bad. But I just say calories don't count on holidays.
Although I never count calories. I think at the moment I am probably only burning 100 calories more than I am consuming. Just from a rough estimate.
Some days I eat almost 3000 calories (which is bad) and others I eat probably around 1200. It totally depends on the day and my appetite. But I don't sweat it that much.
BUT ALL OF THESE FOODS ARE GOING DOWWWN.
Oh. That reminds me. Back in Grade 9ish, I quit soda. I just don't drink pop anymore. Since then, I've probably had like 10 pops.
I like never eat candy or chocolate. Chips I never eat. I eat popcorn. I didn't put that on my list though, because the popcorn I eat is in 100 calorie bags. I am not going to add any flavour shakes to it though.
But I am going to rock the next 3 weeks. Maybe.
