The Healthy Lifestyle Challenge
This is a family weight loss/fitness challenge that isn't just about winning, but encourages a healthy lifestyle change.
Every day, each person has the potential to earn 5 points, 1 each for the following:
1. 30 min (or more) Workout/Physical Activity;
2. No Sweets;
3. Drinking 48 oz (or more) of Water;
4. Eating 5 Servings of Fruits/Vegetables;
5. Reading Scriptures for 15 min (or more).
We weigh in every Monday morning. We earn two points for every pound we lose, one point for 1/2 pound.
I've been trying to have more protein with my snacks and it's helping - string cheese, cottage cheese, beef jerky...
ReplyDeleteI have been eating nuts and protein bars. It seems to help. I bought veggies to cut up and snack on. They are good! Becca, you are doing well! This is a change in culture for all of us.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't alone! On my fitness pal I realized that I eat TONS of salt to compensate for sugar. Whatever works, it is week 1! I am retaining a TON of water though. No treats is a huge change. Before last Sunday I would make cupcakes, cookies, brownies almost EVERYDAY. It is a hobby to read cooking blogs and then make stuff on them. Of course, I take treats to my neighbors and people at church, but I did eat some of it.
ReplyDeleteTaylor is rockin' the no sugar thing, it is really hard for me. Especially after a hard work out, I reward myself with treats. Something that helps me is the quote,"you are what you eat no matter how much you exercise". I had that written on the mirror when I was on my mission. :) Good luck!
