30 day challenge HCCV!

Hello everyone, I'm starting a challenge myself this Saturday(7/7), I've been eating a LOT of added salt lately and really too much fat. I've even slipped up once and ate something that contained powdered SOY MILK!!!!! UGHHH!!!! I've been too leanient lately and not being as strict and aware as I should be! My challenge is this:

First and Foremost, absolutely NO ANIMAL products, literally check every label twice if you must!

Get 8-10 hours of sleep EVERY night

Try to play outside everyday for vitamin D

Less than 10% fat calories each day

No added salts (I know, tough one), only those naturally occuring

Strictly: 2 fruit meals and 1 cooked meal

No fried foods, of course

Plenty of water (I aim for 1.5 gallons most days, but some people do less)

I'll be tracking my progress here, so you can follow and keep me on track if you'd like:) Also if anyone wants to join me I'd love the company. Anyone who's joining me can also give me ideas on the vital things I've missed. Thanks everyone! I won't let you all down!

I'm gonna be honest, I went to a restaurant that night with my parents and had cooked corn and rice. The next morning I'm feeling TERRIBLE. But this is why it's called learning and adapting:) I'm back on board today and won't eat anything cooked again after feeling this way today. Like I said, it's a learning experience:)

By the way, How am I on day 15 and you on day 16? I think I've posted everyday?

I started on Friday 6th of July. Did you start on Saturday maybe? If you count from friday then it is 16th day yesterday (Saturday 21), so it should be correct. And i think we also have a time difference...
