So I ran a challenge last month that was a 20 day no excuses challenge. The idea being that you make a plan and you stick to it for 20 days straight. If you don't stick to your plan even for one day - YOU'RE OUT! The challenge was a success to those who tried and I thought why not make it a monthly thing?

Needless to say, this isn't for the weak willed. Remember, be honest with yourself and don't slip up or you'll get the boot! Do you think you've got what it takes? Then come on in! Since I was slow on creating this thread I'll extend the sign ups to August 10th to give people enough time to get on board.

Sign Up To The Spreadsheet HERE!!

Post your pledge in the thread and mark each day with an X that you successfully achieve your goals. Your plan can be anything you desire, it can be drink a certain amount of water or exercise a certain amount of times. The choice is yours! But be realistic, 20 days in a row is a long time so don't throw yourself in the deep end! Sign ups will close August 11th.

I'm in on this. Do we post the plan here or..in the spreadsheet?

Wooohoooo, I'm in again The last 20-day challenge was AWESOME. Hope to see familiar, and of course, new faces

Will be back with my plan, I need to figure out what I would like to challenge myself with first.

Excited as can be!

Count me in.

I'm in! I fell off big time during the July challenge. No bueno.

1. I will stick to my diet plan
2. I will be home to cook and prepare my meals at least two nights per week.
3. I will exercise at least 3 days per week.
4. I will take my supplements
5. I will drink plenty of water.

I'm in!

Oh, I'm so glad you decided to do this again! I saw the last one waaay too late but decided to implement the idea for myself anyway. Definitely joining the real one, hehe. I have a (terrible) habit of dropping out of your challenges, I will do this one! Or else!

1) Don't eat anything potato. (I'm trying to learn I don't HAVE to eat fries)
2) Workout five days a week. Any combination is fine but 3 running and 2 lifting preferred.
3) Don't weigh myself until September 1st.
4) Stay under 2000 calories per day while on vacation.
5) No soda. (Hardly drink it but I am going away in a few weeks and that's usually when I have it)

I'd love to participate this time around! I need something to COMMIT to for a limited amount of time. What are the dates of the challenge exactly?

My objectives

Food:
eat at least 6 servings of vegetables and fruits daily (1 serving = 1/2 cup usually)
no grains, legumes, or potatoes
100 g protein daily

Activity:
1 SSoS weights workout and 1 SSoS interval workout per week
every other day (5/week), have some activity - tennis or running preferred, 30 mins extra walking if nothing else

I'm in.

Seeing as I failed out of the last challenge on the very first day.. I will try to make my goals a little more attainable! Here goes:

1)Workout with personal trainer 3x/week
2) Run at least 2x/week
3) No fast food or pop during weekdays
4) Eat more whole grains and veggies

At least I can't do any worse than I did on the last challenge

Post updated with spreadsheet!

Yay! Thanks so much for doing this again Riestrella!

-I will eat every 1-2 hours
-I will stop eating when I'm no longer hungry
-I will drink 4 water bottles during the day
-I will only eat foods that I feel will nourish me
-I will do weight training 2x per week
-I will have one more relaxed eating day per week

I will:

1. Stick to my diet plan exactly.
2. 6 days of P90 + 3-4 days of HIIT Elliptical.
3. Keep waking up at 7-8 AM and complete a workout first thing in the morning.

That's all I'm committing to. Can't promise that after doing all that, I won't complain if the scale doesn't cooperate So no emotional commitments for me.

Goals:

1) 3 days of running per week (one day intervals, one day tempo run, one day long run)
2) 3 days of strength training per week
3) 2 roller derby practices per week
4) no eating junk food / treats, except for up to a 100 cal treat per day

I would love to be a part of this.

Goals:

- Stay on track and complete the 30 day squat, ab and push-up challenge (currently on day 7)
- Drink 3 bottles of water each day
- 30 minutes of exercise 4 days a week (excluding the 30 day challenges)
- Avoid all sodas and aerated drinks (limit myself to maximum 3 until the end of August)
