Hey guys,
First of all, a disclaimer - I am not going to sell anything!
Now we can get to the point. Last few weeks, I worked hard on my new business, and my otherwise pretty good eating habits get a huge hit.
On Fastlane Accountability Discord Group (if interested in joining, follow this link: Join the Fastlane Accountability Group Discord Server!), I suggested that I make a "clean eating challenge," I also decided to share it here.
I was a professional athlete, and I have a formal background in health and fitness; I am a certified personal trainer, etc. In other words, my experience with various diets and exercise types is pretty decent. Now, I am not writing this because I would like to show off myself... exactly the opposite - even though I consider myself almost a professional in those areas, there are times when it's still hard for me to keep on the right track.
During the years of studying health and fitness, I realized that the single biggest problem why so many people struggle to keep on track is this:
It's not about which diet or exercise is better/the best; it's about the execution. In other words, the vast majority of us know that we shouldn't eat that donut and sit all day behind the computer screen, and still, we often do it. We don't need to find that perfect diet (it doesn't exist anyway...). We need to follow those simple "rules" we've always known (don't eat too many sweets, etc.!).
If we should focus on something, it's the execution. I created this challenge because I firmly believe that we can leverage the power of accountability and help each other a lot with that (actually, I need your help myself..).
I've created a simple table in google docs in which I will, starting by tomorrow, tracking how I did each day - did I eat clean today, did I have enough movement today? If I did well, I would fill the cell with green color. If I did badly, I would fill it with red. Of course, the answer is subjective (I don't have any strict rules that would say that, e.g., eating 30g of dark chocolate is ok, but 50g of milk chocolate is overboard), but I don't consider it a problem... I will try to be as honest with myself as possible. Anyone who will join this challenge will see my results - black on white.
If anyone would be interested in joining me, you are more than welcome - you can simply duplicate the "Empty table" sheet, rename it using your name or nickname and fill the particular cells every day. Just keep in mind that your results will be public, but that's the point of accountability after all.
You will find the table here: Clean Eating and Exercise Challenge. I set it up so everyone with the link can edit it.
P.S. If anyone wants to discuss what to eat or what exercises to do, simply write me a message, and I will gladly discuss it with you. The other option is to write a comment on this thread, and I will try to deliver the best response possible. Once again, I am doing this because I want to reap the benefits of accountability for myself + I would like to get some value back to people on this forum from which I mainly consumed in the past; I have no intention of capitalizing on this challenge.
P.P.S. Any suggestions on how to improve this challenge are appreciated.
