My 6 week challenge!

Hello ma'lovelies, In this post I will be explaining and starting my 6 week challenge. I am being really brave to do this post as it is something I tend not to really think about and it is something personal to me. 

This 6 week challenge is to help me keep fit and have a healthy lifestyle. I have got development logs and will be writing in them each day to monitor my progress. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first part of my challenge is the declaration for exercise. 

To begin my healthy lifestyle, I Charlotte , commit to cycling/stretch exercises for 25 minutes on: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday . 

I plan to do my exercise in the following location: My home 

My Goal - Total Minutes Per week minimum

Week 1 - 175 mins 

Week 2 - 175 mins 

Week 3 - 175 mins 

Week 4 - 210 mins 

Week 5 - 210 mins 

Week 6 - 210 mins

The second part of my challenge is healthy eating. I will be recording everything I eat and drink each day for 6 weeks. This way I will be able to monitor how much I intake and check my eating patterns. I calculated my age, sex, height and BMI and in conclusion I need to have 1500 calories a day. 

Age - 18

Sex - Female

Height - 5ft

BMI - 27.34

My 6 week challenge was a little bit harder than I expected. I had never calorie counted before and didn't think it would be that difficult. However after each meal I counted the calories and realised I need to eat slightly less and also food with less calories in them.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks	Total
Monday	1213(cal)	260(cal)	350(cal)	96(cal)	1919(cal)
Tuesday	350(cal)	500(cal)	500(cal)	276(cal)	1626(cal)
Wednesday	146(cal)	500(cal)	450(cal)	414(cal)	1520(cal)
Thursday	Had a lie in! (hehe)	500(cal)	350(cal)	116(cal)	966(cal)
Friday	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)
Saturday	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)
Sunday	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)

The meal that let me down was breakfast. I thought that because you need a lot of energy for the day, I should have a big hearty breakfast. BIG mistake, I need to have food that will fill me up for longer and give me the energy that I need with less calories.

As for exercise, I did my workout quite late at night which is not all that brilliant for you, but as I was very busy I made sure that I squeezed it in. Well normally I hate exercise and give up halfway through, however this time I had Chris with me. This motivated me to finish my workout and without realising doing 35 mins instead of the targeted 25 mins. Thank god for boyfriends hehe.

	Time
Monday	35 mins
Tuesday	35 mins
Wednesday	1 hour
Thursday	35 mins
Friday
Saturday

Total Mins
