Hello guys,
This is what we are gonna be doing as a team for the whole 5 weeks.
There are goals to achieve on weekly basis and a daily side challenge.
There are four TOP 3's that will be announced with the weekly results therefore don't forget to post on how you did for a particular day.
1) Thirst Quencher (on the basis of water intake)
2) Mighty Walker (on the basis of steps taken)
3) Macro Goalies (on the basis of "Focused Macro" Goal hit)
4) Plant Nibblers (on the basis of veggie/ fruit intake)
Also,
Posters of the Week will be announced for all the team players who post to their team threads regularly.

I don't have a pedometer and I do not eat much fruit or really veggies for that matter. I definitely love my processed food. I am not super focused on macros. I drink water, but I don't think it's necessary for me to force myself to drink so many ounces a day. Good luck with the challenge, but this one isn't for me!0

What do you mean by Macros?

I have bad knees. I cannot do jumping jacks. Is there something else I can do?
I am on the Jenny Craig diet plan. I do my own breakfast but lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks are with Jenny Craig food. It is processed frozen/packaged food. I cannot do the no processed food on this plan. Same with no processed sugar.0 -

Correct me if I am wrong, @night_watcher, but I think you should keep doing what you are doing. The idea is to be healthy. The side challenges are made to be fun, keep everyone motivated, keep the competition interesting, and keep people engaged. If a particular piece of the challenge doesn't work for you and your current plan, modify it and share your success.0 -

There are three macro nutrients, carbs, proteins and fats, all others are micro nutrients.
So some people follow high fat diet, some high protein. For me high protein works best, so i try and reach my protein goal even if i don't hit other macros 100%.
That is what it means, decide the macro you wanna stick to and try and reach the macro goal daily.
I hope it's clear. 0 -

@TracyeS4 you are right thanks
@firststepformefal if you can't do jumping jacks dear, just pick one that you can and push yourself a bit with it. There are many exercise like wall sits or half squats something like that.
For processed food/sugar , how about hitting the fibre goal and have green tea first thing in the morning.
Anything that works for you, is fine
The main idea for side challenge is to keep everyone involved in the team thread 0 -

I won't be able to do the no night snacking one unless by then my son is not nursing at night. I have to eat while nursing, usually it's sliced cucumbers or celery, but just mentioning that ahead of time.

By night snacking I actually meant if you eat junk or you go way over your calorie budget. Celery and cucumber are healthy choices and are very low in calorie. So no issue.0 -
