Completed Mini-Challenges

Weeks 1 to 12

Drink Water!!

Guidelines:
Guidelines: Let's kick this program off with drinking water. You should be drinking half your weight in water ounces every day. Let's say you weigh 150 lbs, you should be drinking 75 oz of water every day. I highly recommend the "Water" app on itunes. It's $0.99 but is keeps a great log and reminds you to drink. It may seem like a lot of water the first few days, but I guarentee you will feel great. Keeping track of how many ounces are in each and every glass is hard. I went out and bought 3 camelbak water bottles, they are BPA Free and spill proof. They even have ones with water filters, so you can just add tap water. LOVE THIS! I keep one at the office, one in my car, and one at home. I fill them up completely and don't refil until they are empty. Very easy to keep track of every time you empty a 24oz water bottle.

Weeks 2 to 3

Record everything you eat

Guidelines:
Keep a record of all the food you consumed.It’s tedious, but you will be amazed at how many calories you are consuming or aren’t. Not eating enough calories could be halting your weight loss because you are starving your body. Keeping a food log isn’t just about counting calories. It’s about eating a balanced diet throughout the day. We often set out with good intentions at breakfast and then let ourselves slip at lunch and then think “well this day is shot, might as well eat junk for dinner. I’ll start tomorrow.” Keeping a food log will help you stay on track. It’s ok to have chocolate cake at lunch, just don’t have a sausage McMuffin, chocolate cake, and pizza in the same day. It will also help you keep track of how many fruits and veggies you are eating. I recommend the LoseIt! App or the Fat Secret app. Both are free and have a great data base. Keeping up with the food log will prepare you for next weeks challenge…

Weeks 8 to 9

Liquor?

Guidelines:
I'm really against saying "NO LIQUOR" mainly because I love it. I like to reward myself after a long work week (and workouts). So...how about this week we enjoy our cocktails either on the rocks or with a low calorie mixer. If you really need a mixed drink, I recommend the Hungry Girl Happy Hour: 75 Recipes for Amazingly Fantastic Guilt-Free Cocktails and Party Foods
