21-Day Challenge – Day 2!

Hello all! I know it has been a longgggggggggggggg hiatus and I haven’t been here for like 9275234893095671923 days already but I’d like to share something with people who still read this space (surprisingly people still do read my humble little blog, I hope not for the wrong reasons though like gossips and all)!

I guess we are all in the midst of preparing for exams and everybody is stressed out. But take some time to read what I’m about to write below: Weng’s 21-Day Challenge!

Okay I was actually watching Youtube videos that day and I was inspired by this lady: antishay. Go take a look at her channel and videos! She is AMAZING. She lost 70 pounds in approximately 6 years. Though you might be thinking, huh 70 pounds in 6 years, so long?! But frankly speaking, in this real world today, it is not easy to lose weight when more than half of our times are spent in school or work, and after school or work, we just rush home to rest or go out with friends, which also means more food and possibly alcohol intake (Okay fine that’s just me on days when I feel like drinking).

So, in one of her videos, specifically the #77  weigh-in, she talked about a 21-day challenge. Basically, in these 21 days, you are supposed to set a goal or two and do it everyday for those 21 days! Apparently, a habit will be formed or broken if you consistently do it for those 21 days, interesting or what! These goals could be anything, like waking up at 8am everyday, or no coffee intake after 8pm, or ANYTHING!

Feeling inspired, I decided to take up this challenge as well! (In Barney’s words, only if you watch HIMYM you will understand – CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!) And I did up my chart!

I decided to be alittle greedy, and came up with 3 goals for myself! (It is not recommended though because she said that we should concentrate on maybe 1 goal. But I decided to go for all 3 to practice self-control as well, yes because I’m flawed in many ways!)

Goal 1: Exercise EVERYDAY (at least a 30 minute run or resistance training)

I really miss the lifestyle I used to have in JC, when I ran so much it was pretty much an addiction. Anyway it is proven that it keeps one happy because of the endorphins that it produces in our bodies, and it keeps our minds fresh and healthy! So why not run right? Since it’s good for all of our bodies and keeps us happy lalalala!

Goal 2: No food after 10pm

If you knew the lifestyle I had in the past, suppers are a MUST practically every night! Hohohoho FAT WENG :( So BYE BYE SUPPERS HELLO HEALTHY WENG! This will help significantly because eating late means your food probably cannot digest as well, all your organs are sleepy at night too! So they can’t operate as well :( However, if you are REALLY VERY HUNGRY, you can take little snacks but keep it minimal because it’s not good to let your stomach starve as well.

Goal 3: Drink Plenty of water everyday (5 water bottles = 2 litres)

I’m sure everybody knows that we are all supposed to drink 8-10 glasses of water! And 8-10 glasses of water = 2 litres of water = 5 water bottles (for my water bottle). Drinking plenty of water is good as it raises one’s metabolism rate! Also, drinking water can keep you full and prevent you from binge eating (TRUE STORY). It also improves one’s complexion too! Helps out in dull skin and makes it brighter!

Today’s my Day 2! And it’s pretty successful. This retarded picture was taken after my run, all wet and sweaty and disgusting. & yes I know I look very ugly, it’s my naked face without make up but I’m loving it! Goal 1 and 3 achieved! Goal 2: unsure because I’m gonna stay up late tonight to study sooooooooooooooo we’ll see! And to those annonymous people reading my blog, go give it a try! I promise it’ll make you happy especially during this exam period! It will keep you fresh and you can concentrate better for exams!

PS. After this 21-day challenge, I’m gonna do a 28-day challenge! But that will be after my trip to Rome and Turkey, and after a friend’s competition and another friend’s wedding! It’s going to be a busy December!
