Therapeutic Benefits of Taking the 100 Hub in 30 Days Challenge

I recently completed the 100 hubs in 30 day challenge. It was really consuming and a lot of work but I m glad I did it. I pushed myself beyond all reasonable limits in the challenge and made very high demands of myself. It wasn’t easy but it was good to push myself so hard to find myself meeting this challenge.

It was also a real juggling act as I was moving and I have my son who I always take care of first and there were many obstacles that I could sight as reasonable barriers to completing this challenge and yet I didn’t let any of them stand in my way and I still managed to make it while maintaining all my responsibilities at home which are considerable.

As many writers I believe writing is rather therapeutic but as a scientist I would also have to allow that I have no scientific evidence to substantiate this belief. And honestly I haven’t been looking for evidence to substantiate this belief so my confidence interval on this is less then 95%.

That was until I was forced to go to the doctor. I missed my first appointment as I was behind and needed to make up the time on the 100 hubs in 30 days challenge. The next appointment I attended and I was told I had lost a considerable amount of weight. I had noticed my clothes were lose but I am not a superficial person so I don’t really pay attention to things like that. But apparently I lost a great deal of weight. Ok, I wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I just accepted it and ask to leave but the doctor insisted one a blood test which seemed to me odd. Why would I need a blood test if I was losing weight but I didn’t want to waste anymore time so I just gave blood. A few days ago the doctor’s office called and they wanted to know what life style changes I had made in the last 3 months? I couldn’t imagine any. I eat basically the same food everyday. I had not increased my exercise if anything I had exercised less.

The doctor’s office put me on hold and rechecked with the lab and then informed me my cholesterol was completely normal. If anything I had more good fat which a woman thinks the terms good and fat are oxymorons then bad and my cholesterol was completely normal and had dropped 40 points.

So not only do I have the satisfaction of completing the 100 hubs in 30 days challenge but I dropped considerable weight and lowered my cholesterol to normal without additional exercise.

And as a scientist I never believe n=1 so my experience alone is not enough to prove anything but I am wondering if other author’s who have taken this challenge have similar experiences? I would imagine it could not only apply to diet control but smoking cessation as well.

Admittedly the challenge of 100 hubs in 30 days is very challenging and you do end up having to be well planned and skip a few meals in order to complete it, Subsequently, I ended up writing a lot of recipes because I was just plain hungry but I am healthier for it. And while this isn’t definitive proof it is noteworthy for any of you interested in taking the 100 hubs in 30 day challenge.
