yoga and a walk on day 3

Have been feeling like hiking/jogging every day might be contributing to the shin splints I have...so thought I'd switch up the exercise for today and I did a 30 minute beginner yoga video. This picture is my attempt at photographing some of my yoga practice!  Then I went for a 15 minute walk. Checked into sparkepeople, drank my water!

Exploring the Universe

Today on Day 2 I went for a hike up to Griffith Observatory with my cousin - about an hour, total. We stopped halfway and actually went inside and looked at exhibits and watched the free show in the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Amphitheater. Then we went over to the farmer's market at the Gene Autry Museum and ate cucumbers and pita bread on the grass. Excellent Day.

Exercise, check. Water, halfway there and will definitely make it, and sparkcoach, check!

Roya's Day 1

Today I did Week 2 Day 1 of Couch to 10k. It's walking/running. I ended with my cool down walk here, through Fern Dell at Griffith Park.

Welcome to 30 Day Challenge!

Welcome to Every Day For 30 Days! A blog that reflects the hardwork, consistency, and successes of the 30 Day Challenge facebook group!

My name is Roya. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist intern (www.royadedeaux.com) and part of what I love to do is help people achieve their goals.

I started this group on February 14th, 2013, after going through some tough times. I was realizing that I was taking it out on myself, and doing things (like eating badly and not exercising) that were bad for me, like I was punishing myself. I decided to change it, one good habit at a time. And because I'm an extroverted, social person who doesn't do anything alone - I decided to make it a group activity!

Here's how the group works: everybody chooses a goal they'd like to do for 30 days. They post them on the facebook page, to use the transparency to commit, and the social aspect to motivate and encourage.

One of the group suggested that people start posting photos along with what they've done - so that's why we have the blog now!
