Challenges

So I got a huge wakeup in February when I came back from Vegas and realized I def gained 10 unnecessary pounds so I really need to get back to gym life. I came back to NYC totally motivated to renew my healthy living and eating. Introducing the:

My 30 day water challenge began 3.2.14 and it means is me drinking nothing but water for the next 30 days. That means no tea, coffee, juice, alcohol...well, you get the jist. 

My main reasons for this was to:

1) Increase my daily H2O intake

2) See how addicted to liquids ::Achem:: coffee

3) And, I wanted to see if all the hoopla was true, would drinking water actually my skin look better after 30 days

And as of today I'm half way done!

Next on the agenda of March is the:

The squat challenge is pretty self-explanatory. It was just a fun way for me to get back into the flow of working out regularly with small goals that are easily achieved. It has actually become fun as I've successfully dragged several friends into this with me (muahahaha) the numbers may be daunting but if you pace yourself it's def doable.

Tips for added benefits:

1) breathe. Breathe. BREATHE! (make sure you are breathing in when standing and out when squatting)

2) Too easy? Vary the speed, the slower more effort it will take and the more sore you'll be

3) Only sore in one area? Start contracting your muscles on the way up (squeeze that ass)

4) Not sore enough? Add some weights!
