Day 33 of my Weight Loss Challenge is already here.

This means that the challenge is 1/3 over.

My purpose in starting my own challenge has had a number of benefits.

Firstly, I have wanted to draw awareness to the concept of my readers starting their own weight loss challenge. And secondly, I have wanted to draw awareness to the fact that any weight loss challenge is likely to have its own unexpected setbacks.

One thing that I continue to realise is that the concept of starting your own 12 week challenge is really beneficial because there is a starting point and an ending point. Regardless of what happens throughout the challenge, you will benefit if you stick with the committment.

Throughout my challenge, my weeks have been shadowed by both work committments, holidays, visitors and even some health issues such as a middle ear infection. The unexpected is likely to happen so the best laid plans can be quickly erased.

With this in mind, I have created a new form to assist with keeping participants and myself on track.

Just go to my link on my blog at ‘evaluate my progress’ and fill in the form on a weekly basis. The purpose of this form is to draw you towards habits that assist with weight loss rather than deter.

I find that when I focus on the positives and draw more of them into my daily life, the likelihood of succeeding is more apparent.

Have a look at my form, download the daily worksheet to keep you on track and fill in the form on a weekly basis and submit it to me. I will report back to you with your weekly score and after every 30 days I will give you a summary of your results over the past 4 weeks.

Your goal is to simply better your score each week. Do this week in and week out, and you will be on your way to better health and weight control.

Eventhough my past thirty days have been a combination of work routines, holidays and visitors, surprisingly my weight and waist measurements have been on target.

Part of my secret to weight management has always been connected to the approach I take.

I always have a high protein shake to start the day regardless of what is happening around me. I always have extra supplements with my meals to assist with any deficiencies, and most of the time I add an additional shake at lunch. I always ensure that I drink lots of water and I walk regularly for exercise.

Keep it simple. Get some regular healthy routines in your daily life and weight management is so much easier to achieve.

Whilst I recognise that some people do have very sluggish metabolisms, but with programmes that cleanse the digestive tract and stimulate change, it is more likely that any new dietary habits will have the desired affect.

Weight management incorporates a number of factors. Everybody may have their own particular circumstances but the fundamentals are common to everybody.

Look forward to writing again soon.
