OhNo September and 2WWB Challenges

So, that was an interesting month...

The Results:
Even though I went on holiday and stuffed my face, my strength and fitness has improved even further and I've lost weight again (not that I'm too bothered about losing more weight).

Pretty happy with how I really knocked it out of the park with 2 weeks of being super healthy after my naughty holiday. If anything having a week of no exercising and eating plenty probably helped my fitness and weightloss as it gave my body a much needed break.


The Rules:
In terms of the OhNo challenge I did OK. I've added in some new workouts and in my last week or so haven't even felt cravings for alcohol. I think the relaxed hol helped in righting my mood.

For the 2WWB I did pretty darn good. I worked my butt off and was good with my diet and drinking  - I definitely put on weight on the holiday and this challenge sorted that out in a trice.

Looking back, the original OhNo challenge idea was a bit daft; planning to exercise regularly and not drink when on holiday is doomed to fail. In retrospect I should have broken down into 2 mini challenges; eat as healthily as poss on hol, but still having fun, then do the 2 week hardcore challenge to make up for it. Of course that's what I ended up doing!

Lesson learned is that if in future I don't have a good idea for a specific challenge that I'd like to complete that I'm really keen on, I'll just stick to a few mini challenge to keep me rolling and engaged.
