🌎️Challenge #8 Saturday, May 28 - Friday, June 3🌎️
✈️DESTINATION - London, England 6,000 Miles - Measure Portions & Tiny Habit
The challenge begins on Saturday morning. Exercise & Measure Portions & Tiny Habit before SATURDAY DOES NOT COUNT!!!!
What a great time to be in London! There is so much excitement over the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her historic 70th anniversary on the throne. Millions of people will be out for the thousands of public celebratory street parties. The scale of the festivities will exceed all previous royal events.
The Queen’s Birthday Parade (Trooping the Color), is a display of military pageantry, as 1,200 Horse Guards parade, together with hundreds of Army musicians and 240 horses. After the parade, the Royal Procession will return to Buckingham Palace. There will be an impressive Flypast to coincide with the Royal Family’s balcony appearance. Note - we have reserved seats at the parade ground.
Let’s enjoy the friendship, food and fun at events across Britain June 2-5. We’ll find Big Jubilee Lunches with entertainment from across the Commonwealth. Join in one to attempt the world record for the longest street table/party.
For more fun see the Jubilee Joust, with knights on horseback. Next the Tower of London’s ‘Super bloom’, where the moat has been filled with tens of thousands of wild blooms to create a spectacular display.
For a little exercise there is the Right Royal Walking Tour to learn royal history. Or try the free jive lessons with classic rock ’n’ roll songs from the decade of the Queen’s coronation.
Race - You must exercise to earn air miles to get your team to the destination.
1 minute of exercise = 1 air mile
DAILY MAXIMUM 120 exercise minutes/air miles.
📝Living the Good Life - Measure Portions & Tiny Habit
A key part of healthful eating means choosing appropriate amounts of different foods. When it comes to deciding how much to eat, the terms serving size and portion size are often used interchangeably. However, they don't mean the same thing.
Serving size is a standardized amount of food. It may be used to quantify recommended amounts, as is the case with the MyPlate food groups, or represent quantities that people typically consume on a Nutrition Facts label.
Portion size is the amount of a food you choose to eat — which may be more or less than a serving.
For example, the Nutrition Facts label may indicate ½ cup cereal for one serving, but if you eat ¾ cup, that is your portion size, which is actually 1.5 servings. Aim to align your portion size with the recommended serving size. Cutting your portions helps you cut calories, which aids in weight loss/maintenance.
Build a healthy forever habit - measure everything you eat. Have measuring cups, measuring spoons, and a food scale on the counter or in drawer, easy to reach when you are serving up your food.
This challenge is to MEASURE EVERYTHING you eat and drink. Whether it’s that cup of black coffee (with a little cream and sugar) or that taste of casserole as you are spooning it onto dinner plates. You might just be surprised. Is that piece of cheese you are eating really the size of your thumb? Is that piece of fruit the size of a tennis ball?
We can be so conscientious with what we are eating and drinking and then we get lax in portion control and soon we are "eye-balling" that serving of cereal. "Yeah, that looks to be about 3/4 cup." (when in actuality it is 1 cup). For those who have been watching their diet for a while – this can help you "get back on the weight loss track". For you who are new to dieting, this is a great time to learn what a serving size really looks like.
Does eating at a restaurant with nutritional information available count as measuring? No. We are tracking portions by volumes and weights, not nutrition in this challenge BUT if you are eating out please do your best to estimate the portions/volume/weight of the food you are eating. Example - If eating a potato, judge the size of the potato relative to a serving size for a potato. A 9 ounce steak is how many servings of meat? A serving size of meat is 2-3 ounces cooked or the size of a deck of cards so that steak has several servings!
Read labels to see the portion size. Note - sometimes the suggested portion size on the label may exceed the recommended dietary amount.
Portion sizes vary from person to person and are at the discretion of the individual. In contrast, serving sizes are standard quantities of food served e.g. a serving on the Nutrition Facts Label of a product.
