Day 13: Girl's night out!

Just because you are aiming towards living a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean you get to miss out on all the fun stuff!! I enjoyed a good night out with the Blenheim girls and didn't drink a drop of alcohol or touch a single piece of bad food.

I survived this by firstly reminding myself of the excruciating hangover I had two weeks ago before I started the challenge. Not touching that alcohol was easy after remembering that! Secondly I ensured I had a good tasty meal prior to going to get me through the night. Lastly whenever I felt tempted I continued to remind myself of my goals. Attending a CrossFit open session at CrossFit Blenheim today really helped me to keep my goals in mind. CrossFit Blenheim hosted two visitors today that have just been to the regional comptetition. I saw a girl do proper kipping pull ups very efficiently (one of my long term goals). I asked her how long it took her to learn them, and she replied 'a good year'. It felt like a breath of fresh air. Good things do take time and practice, practice, PRACTICE!!!

Some people have asked for progress photos. Now I'm not one to usually do this but I realise some people need it for motivation. Now my friends will tell you I'm not one to build muscle easily but this is the most muscle I have built in such a short period of time. I am not doing this challenge to lose weight yet get stronger and achieve goals! I want to be able to clean my own body weight, do 50 DUs non-stop and begin to do kipping pull ups. (Not all by the 30 day mark obviously).

Here is my usual muscle tone
