Challenge Accepted!

So almost an entire month ago I challenged myself and others to meal plan or track their eating. Meal planning is hard, then there are leftovers and I'm never sure just how much remains. On the other hand, tracking my food is much easier. I've, for the most part (except around the holidays), have done really well at eating healthier. 

Now, because I know myself, I took it one step further. I've been a member of LoseIt! for years, and have sometimes been consistent and sometimes not... So I decided to purchase the premium. I'm crazy, I know. But it shows me what I'm doing right and what I need to fix. So I get to have LoseIt! keep track and inform me of my patterns. It has also helped me track my water intake which is great! But most importantly, I paid for it which is going to make me more accountable! 

I'm also at a point where I want to work out again. My husband uses Planet Fitness, which is fantastic! I don't have the availability to leave my girls with someone every day for 1 hour. I am a mom and a teacher with responsibilities. I could make a detailed list but I'm sure you understand if you're a parent and you bring work home. It's just all so much, so DailyBurn has caught my eye for some time. I like that I have a 30-day free trial to see if it'll work for me. I tried it tonight for the first time. I have sore muscles I have not felt in a long time. It's nice! I was able to pause it to take care of my crying child, and finished 1 hour later. It's convenient because I can stream it almost anywhere! I'll see how I feel by day 30! 

So my challenge to you: find something that'll work for you. Do you need to spend some dough? Do you need a friend or group to rely on? What is it that you need? Find your nitch and stick with it!
