Challenge #1- 5k frostbite footrace
I did this running outside because i wont have many opportunities to get out this week without getting soaked to the bone.
What better way to start off the new challenges week !! I also plan to do the other 2 options for this challenge because I CAN
May have to be on the elliptical but at least i will get the minutes and exercise from it. 3 -
OK so here is my plan of attack ..
I have already done the active videos and challenge #1.
For challenge #2 ... I will be doing the beginner video. I might try to get into the other one but I am thinking it may be above my abilities. BUT why not give it a shot RIGHT ?!?! At least I will have the minutes and calorie burn for what I DO get done.
AND then for challenge #3... I will leave my sweets behind. Today is a bad day for that but at least it's out of the way and I have the rest of the week..LOL2 -
Oh lawwwwd we're in 5th. Gotta get those numbers on the board, Smashers!!1

Challenge #1
I did the 2.5k outside today. We may have rain the rest of the week so I tackled it today during lunch.2 -
Ugh, today was not my day Smashers
I didn't meal prep over the weekend like I wanted to, so I skipped breakfast - bought a bunch of sweet delicious crap at a bake sale, ate some butternut squash soup, snacked on meatballs, and had a late 9:00pm dinner of... PASTA (and octopus). I was trying to do low carb. I think any diet where I really have to limit myself, I do okay for the first week or so and then all hell breaks loose and I eat everything in sight. And I didn't exercise today. Heck, I didn't even meet my step goal. I have a big midterm exam tomorrow morning and then another Friday, so I will be busy busy.
For lent I'm giving up all alcohol, so I'll do that for this weeks challenge. So far 1/5 days.1 -
I went to the pick-n-save tonight. Everyplace I turned I saw more cheap sweet sugar. So I left it all behind. I did get almond coconut milk. I just didn't feel like making it. I did make it to the gym too

@lynnbaum you might like Coco libre chocolate flavored protein coconut water instead of your chocolate milk. I make a smoothie out of it and it is sweetened with stevia.
No comments on staying under my calories for challenge 3? Will that work? I don't drink alcohol, I don't eat sugar, I don't eat processed bread unless it is fermented or sprouted. I guess I could give up grain? That really won't be much of a stretch...Calories is definitely the most challenging for me.

Coco libre chocolate flavored protein coconut water
Nutrition Facts
Serving size: 1 Box Serving Per Container: Ingredients: coconut water, water, cane sugar, coconut cream (coconut extract Coco libre, water), cocoa processed with alkali, natural flavors, carrageenan, gellan gum. I am really making this a challenge. You see the word cane sugar. I forget which person I follow was talking about this and he said how good a coconut water was till he read the label. Also I am looking at all forms of sugar. To me I really don't want to trade 1 form of sugar for another, I want to get rid of this attachment to sugar. It is tough but I am writing a book about this year and what happens Jillian was going to do a cookbook and just trade out all sugar for artificial sugar. This also includes Stevia. I have really cut back on bread items and upped my veggies. I really don't want to say bake goods are ok if you make them at home. I want to get them out of my life. This is the same as the mash cauliflower you would make at home but then when you go out to eat they don't have it made with cauliflower so you get the potatoes. I have upped my veggies and if there is a fruit of veggie as a side I am all over that. Had fresh fruit with my omelet at the IHOP the other day.2 -

@lynnbaum I don't know if I could make the commitment to give up all sugar and sugar substitutes as well as bread. I admire you being able to do that.
I did the 40 minute fitness blender last night. Sore legs today-I think from the squats. Will try to get outside this evening if it's not raining.

I am going to leave wine & alcoholic beverages behind this week. We are so close to going away & I was adding wine back into my daily routine "practicing" for the cruise. I might be able to squeak out another pound loss this week if I leave the booze behind

I have given up carbs (all grains, sugar, fruit, root veggies) since January 7th. I have had 3 meals that had food that was not "allowed" on the ketogains way of eating (one had pasta, one had dessert, and I had a spoonful of baked beans). It focuses on low carb, moderate protein, & fat depending on your macros/goals. The focus is whole foods, not frankenfoods. I feel so much better. I hope that I can mostly keep it up while I am away.3 -

Hi Smashers. Unfortunately I didn't do anything yesterday but will be kicking my butt into gear the rest of the week. I will be giving up cheese this week. That is possibly my #1 weakness.3
-
@plainanjelik cheese is a vice of mine too. I'm just not sure I could give it up for five days :P Good luck with that!
I had my last soda from the fridge yesterday because I needed caffeine...baaaadddd migraine, worst I've had in probably a few years. It's mostly gone today but not completely. I had hoped to get more minutes in last night but that obviously did not happen. Today is packing day so lots to do. I will get some active minutes throughout the day, at least.2
