The 14 day health kick!



Bonjour!
 
So I know I said I wasn't going to do any 'new years resolutions' this year, but after having a little browse on my blog feedI came across a post by one of my favourite blogging ladies, & inspired by her post have decided to partake in a little blogger challenge..
 
Bree from The Urban Umbrella has begun a little 14 day health plan & I actually think its a fantastic idea. I'm a self confessed lazy sod, & honestly my attempts at getting fit and healthy have always fallen flat.
- Although I must admit, I have been giving running a try
& its not all that bad.. I suppose
 
Anyway, here is the challenge;
 
14 Days Of:
1.  No Coffee or regular tea
2.  More Green Tea
3.  Daily exercise
4.  No alcohol
5.  No Sugar
6.  More fruit & Veggies
7.  More Water
8.  Regular Sleep
9.  No food after 7
10. No juice or pop
 
I think the no coffee or tea is going to be a toughie, I'm not a massive green tea lover (I know, shameful) but I'm aware of the mass benefits & hey, who knows, I may become a convert!
The others that I think I may find tough is the regular sleep & daily exercise.. I'm such a pudding when it comes to keeping fit, a box of Thornton's & a cuppa is much more appealing than a treadmill.. but as I said earlier, I've started running & if the weathers crap, I live on a 3rd floor apartment so I could always just run up and down the stairs a few times!
I'm also a little restricted with the 'regular sleep' - Living in an apartment with 7 other people sometimes gets a little noisy & lets me fair, we're students so music playing in the small hours of the morning is pretty normal for us. 
Other than that I think everything else will be pretty easy & hopefully if I can try my hardest to stick to this plan as rigidly as possible, it may help me kick my unhealthy habits in the long run!
-But I suppose that's just wishful thinking!!
 
Have you ever tried a mini health plan?

good luck with it all!
At least with a time limit of two weeks its a lot less intimidating than saying 'this is my life from now' making it a lot easier to stick with!
I#d still struggle with no coffee for a couple of weeks and would feel sorry for those around me! :)

Oh yay!! You and I can do this together! So far I've done okay, though I did have one coffee (bad me!)
I am so excited to hear about how you've done so far and how you're finding it! I have found the water aspect really tough, its so cold out and having cold water = FREEZING

I'm not doing too badly, on auto pilot yesterday I bought a mocha though :(
The water part is okay for me, I drink a lot anyways :) - only had to up the amount by a bottle!

I'm going to do an update on sunday about the whole week :)
