30 days of transformation starts tomorrow.

Tomorrow is November which means it's the start of my 30 day transformation. I decided to lay out the basics of my goals and schedule so if anyone wants to follow along they can.

FITNESS

My goal is not to lose 100 lbs in a month or become model skinny. My goal is simply to create a routine of exercise. I think that having a small and achievable goal is better than an outrageous impossible one. I want to workout everyday even if it's only for 10 minutes. That's better than I'm doing right now.

• Eat healthier
• Smaller portions of food
• Healthy snack throughout the day
• WATER!

• Every morning and night:
• 10-50 pushups 
• 30-60 second plank
• 20-100 squats
• 20-100 lunges
• 3 ab blasters
• 100 jumping jacks
• 3x30 second glute bridge
• stretch
• Every other day:
• 20+ minutes of cardio
• Running
• Biking
• Stairs
• Jump Rope
• Swimming

BEAUTY

I have a few goals within beauty. 

1. Whiter and stronger teeth
• Brushing teeth as usual, twice a day
• Flossing every night
• Mouthwash every morning
• Peroxide and Baking Soda cleanse once per week
2. Less acne and clear skin
• Wash face as soon as I get off work.
• Washing face twice per day with non-drying soap
• Using lotion and acne medicine twice per day
• Not switching products as often
3. Wearing less makeup and less foundation
• Use same brand when I do wear makeup
• Lighter coverage (not as heavy makeup)
• Use only mascara when possible, only do makeup for work

SCHOOL

Higher grades, staying ahead of my homework and studying a week in advance for all my tests and quizzes. Planning school once I move and start working on a plan.

• Every night I need to do at least 1 hour of homework. Studying, reading, assignments, writing, podcasts, SOMETHING
• Start studying for a test 1 week before the test. 
• Use notes
• Flashcards
• Practice Tests
• Quizzes
• Write all assignments in my calendar and make an alert on Wunderlist to remember.

FINANCES

I am planning on moving in Spring which means I need to finish paying off my car, save money for a deposit and rent (3 months of rent in case of emergency), money for making the move (gas, boxes, tape) and save money for birthday and christmas gifts. 

• Create a strict budget and stick to it. 
• Buy coffee only once per week
• No more shopping. If I need new clothes I need to sell my old clothes before buying more.
• Save money by using coupons, deals and reward cards
• Use cash only to help keep track of how much I've spent. 
• Save all change in piggy bank and at the end of the month add it up and put into savings for the move.
• Improve my new website so that I can start making a little extra income from the products and services. 
• Sell old, unused stuff on ebay or old clothes at Plato's Closet.
• Finish paying off my car this month, at the latest by December 15th.
• Save tips for gas money and put the rest in savings for the move.
• Declutter room and have a garage sale for the things I no longer use. 

I hope you'll challenge yourself and be apart of the 30 day transformation challenge. You have 30 days of hard work to set a healthy and productive routine for yourself. Create some goals, make a plan and stick to it for 30 days. 

Good luck!
