CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: No Drinking Your Calories.

This is a GOOD one! We don’t realize how many calories we consume by drinking coffee, sodas, juices, energy drinks, and etc.

We are going to CUT them out this week! You’ll be surprised by how you feel and how many calories you SAVE!!! 

Don’t be FOOLED by the zero calories, they are not any better for you and still end up on your waistline. Replace your drinks with: water or herbal tea!  

You are allowed to have coffee or tea during this challenge, however you are NOT allowed to put any additional flavorings (sugar, milk, etc.)

Don't drink your calories away…eat healthy food instead! Limit these kind of drinks and switch to water.

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: 

No Eating Out (Fast Food) for the NEXT 7 Days!

Your challenge this week is to prepare for your meals this week and STAY AWAY from the fast food drive-thru. 

Get out your brown bags and pack your lunch this week. Fast food is convenient, but it is low quality (cheap) food with a lack of nutritional value for your body.

It will leave you unsatisfied which will be sure to lead you to binge at night.  You’ll also likely find you’re unproductive after eating such foods. At night, prepare some lean proteins and vegetables. 

Eating out maybe convenient, but so is keeping your food choices simple by implementing lean proteins, veggies, fruits, and seeds/nuts in each meal. 

Are you UP for this Challenge!? 

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Dirty Dozen & Clean 15

All fruits and veggies are not treated equally.

Some are more heavily laden with pesticides and chemicals than others.  Because of their skins, some fruits and vegetables more easily absorb these chemicals into the parts that you eat more easily than others.

In addition, to control bugs and insects from eating your food, some varieties of plants are sprayed with more chemicals than others.  

Your challenge this week is:  If you purchase any produce from the “Dirty Dozen” column, to make sure that you buy it from an organic source.

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Water Challenge

Your challenge this week:  

EVERYDAY drink at least half of your body weight in ounces of water!  

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you need to be drinking about 75 ounces of water per day! 

If you workout, either add an additional 8-10 ounces, or don’t count that water you drink during your workout towards your required amount for that day. 

*Start EACH day with a big glass of water!  (when you wake up)  

**If you drink caffeine, such as an 8oz. cup of coffee, you must add an additional 16oz. of water.  (2x the amount) 

***Water will also make you feel more full.  Drink it before each meal and you’ll eat less. 

****Flavor with fresh sliced cucumber, strawberries, or lemon to keep things interesting!
