My favorite thing about the challenge so far is that I am actually hungry in the mornings. For the last little while I've been munching on junk at night and I wake up and I don't want to cook breakfast for the family because I'm feeling gross and not hungry. Now that I don't eat after 8, I'm ready for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part for me would have to be staying away from candy. But getting all the water in is definitely hard too.
I really like the accountability of tracking what I eat and my workouts. It makes it much easier to avoid snacking and munching throughout the day. I love the tracking sheets - very convenient.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding that it's hard to get in all the servings. I rarely get 3 fruits and 3 veggies, because its just so much food. Dairy is hard for me because I don't drink milk, but the calcium supplement is a good option for me.
What I LOVE about this challenge is how simple it is to track. I don't feel like I have to count calories, and it forces me to get the right balance of everything I need. It has been great to be accountable and see my score each day. It has showed me just how much I need to think about to have the energy I need, and so now that I'm getting enough protein and calcium it has helped me that much more! (Being where I eat meat rarely, and don't eat dairy, I am loving my beans, and even my kids love the black bean burgers we've been making).
ReplyDeleteThere is not a whole lot that has been hard this week. I'm enjoying so much how I feel and look, so its all worth it.
Making sure I'm not too tired or forgetful when it comes to prayers and scriptures is my challenge! :)
What I love about this challenge so far is...that I haven't started it yet! Just got home from disneyland about and hour ago and NO, I did not track all the crap I ate...thank heavens. BUT, even tho I will have absolutely no chance of winning, I will still participate for the rest cause I know it will be good for me.
ReplyDeleteHardest rule = no chocolate...no contest
I love that this challenge forces me to focus on what I put in my mouth throughout the day & the sheet doesn't take much time to fill out & is easy. The hardest rule for me to follow is eating after 8 because of our schedule & this week exercise has been a challenge because I got blisters on the bottom of my feet after the first two days. But I look forward to working on improving my number of points each week. I keep telling my husband I'm not on a diet, I'm working to change my everyday eating habits.
