I went into this just wanting to lose weight, and gain muscle, I ended up losing muscle, but I believe I gained really healthy habits. I have never ended a challenge knowing I was going to continue making healthy choices in the future, but something changed.

Most challenges are for a month, maybe two. Three months is not a long time, but it has helped me to stick to healthy eating and stress reduction. These three months were some of the most stressful months I’ve had due to personal injuries, financial struggles, and work stresses. This caused me to miss almost a month in the gym, but the whole time I was not there, and working for 20 days straight, I was continually planning meals, trying to walk, and making healthier decisions. I didn’t lose as much weight as I wanted to, but 18.5 pounds off, is better than carrying it around. I plan on continuing on this journey, and losing more weight, and gaining the lost muscle, and adding to it.

I am happy with my results, and can’t wait to complete this challenge for me, no matter how long it takes.
