I started out strong with no sugar at all but quickly fell into my original challenge of no sugar mornings or evenings. One stressful day I had some sugar free candy and couldn’t decide if that was cheating or not. And then yesterday I found someone’s forgotten jelly beans from Easter. Damn. But overall, I did well and as a bonus I lost a little over a pound.
Week 2 we are suppose to continue with our week 1 challenge and then add another healthy eating choice. I am going to add an additional hour of no sugar and then I’m going to try to add a daily raw vegetable.
How about you?
Yay you for the staying on course and the positive result.
ReplyDeleteI did pretty well. The weather sucked for must of the week so was only able to ride today/Sunday. In addition to no coffee, I had veggies with lunch and dinner each day. And even Spinach w/breakfast at least one day.
The week 2 add-on challenge is to either serve a vegetable I've never had (or haven't had in a long time) or prepare a familiar vegetable in an unfamiliar manner; sweet potato and kale hash, for instance.
Because of my job I rarely know where I'll be for meals. Pre-making salads to carry with me was exceptionally successful and gave me a healthy alternative instead of relying on fast food or desserts. People are always offering me desserts!
ReplyDeleteLearning this from week 1, this week I am also going to carry water with me at all times and also keep some in my car. I often forget to drink and find myself with dehydration headaches. Week 2 will be hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
I love Middle Girl's idea of trying new veggies and will think about how I could accomplish that in a 'carry-it-with-me' form for week 3.
Did well on the water last week - will eat fruit every day this week. Sometimes hard for me to do...
ReplyDeleteSome days really good, others not so much. But working on changing the ratio:)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I am ready for any more challenges at the moment so will just try to carry on with week !
Week 1 I meant.
