Week 10/21 - 10/28
FOOD CHALLENGE
Since it is October and most associate it with Halloween, we are going to eat CANDY... haha kidding.😉 We are going with the other aspect of Halloween..well really just color Orange (most associated with pumpkins and jack-o-lantern.) Since candy is sweet we are going to stick to the fruit side and not the veggie side this week. (See note below on what a pumpkin is... if you want to throw it in we would not count it against you!)
YOU NEED TO EAT AN ORANGE OR GOLD COLORED FRUIT
AT LEAST THREE (3) OUT OF THE SEVEN (7) DAYS.
THESE MAY INCLUDE:
ORANGES, MANDARIN ORANGES, TANGERINES, TANGELOS, KUMQUATS, GRAPEFRUITS & POMELOES.
THE FRUIT MUST BE EATEN IN ITS UNPROCESSED FORM
(NOT ORANGE YOGURTS, SMOOTHIES, OR BEVERAGES)
NOTE:
Are pumpkins a fruit or a vegetable? What is the difference between the two?
Answer
A pumpkin, from a botanist‘s perspective, is a fruit because it’s a product of the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants. Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible portion of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, bullbs, flowers, and tubers. Because pumpkins are less sweet and more savory from a culinary perspective, we categorize them as a vegetable.
EXERCISE CHALLENGE:
Since we as a team have had a lot of stress related posts, let's take time to push that stress away. Find your favorite "get rid of the stress" video (meditation, yoga, stretching or any other "de-stresser" video). Let's try to work it in our weekly exercise plan once or twice this week. List a link here and add it to our spreadsheet on the video link page. If you want to share why you chose it or a review feel free to add that in too!

@pkg1998 Great job planning in advance for your trip! I hope you can reach your goals while on vacation!!! Enjoy your time with your parents!Started my road trip yesterday on my way to Missouri to visit my parents and made a pit stop in Mississippi to visit my youngest at college. Road trips are always hard when it comes to exercise and eating. I use it as an excuse to not work on my goals. Doing it different this time - drank water (although not as much as I should have) on the drive yesterday and exercised in the fitness center at the hotel this morning before heading out on the final leg of my journey. Packed clothes for exercise while in Missouri, but will be staying with my parents so I will have little input on what we eat. Going to focus on portion control and trying to stay away from the sweets. Wish me luck!

I’ve been thinking about: do I cave to my craving and eat poutine for brunch?
Whenever I get sick I want to eat high calorie, high carb, salty foods. Particularly poutine and a burger.
The voice in my head tells me to “go ahead, eat. Comfort your feelings with cheesy salty warm food. It will make you feel better”. I guess I could eat half a portion of each and just know I’ll go over my calories today. Or I can ride out the cravings. Internal ping pong.
@stubbornloser I hope you are feeling ok! Hopefully you were able to rest up and take care of yourself! Feel better!0 -

@sandkp I like the food challenge this week! I have been eating clementines this week as strawberries are pretty much out of season and too expensive now(really sad now). I will at least be able to complete this challenge this week. Hopefully will remember to do the destress video, too! Thank you for your effort to post!0 -
