🌎️Challenge #3 Saturday, January 20 - Friday, January 26🌎️
✈️DESTINATION - London, England 6,000 Miles - Cut 100 Calories & Hara Hachi Bu
The challenge begins on Saturday morning. Exercise & Cut 100 Calories & Hara Hachi Bu done before SATURDAY DOES NOT COUNT!!!!
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was purpose-built for the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. It is a 560 acre sporting complex and public park in east London. It vitalized an old city and gave Londoners much needed recreation, concert and outdoor space. It gave new life to one of the most deprived areas of London.
The Olympic Stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies during the Games. The London Aquatics Centre, Copper Box Arena, Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, Lee Valley VeloPark, London Stadium, ArcelorMittal Orbit, London Olympics Media Centre and East Village are all still in use today. These sports venues host national and international competitions - The World Athletics Championships, Rugby World Cup, Motorsport’s Race of Champions, cycling disciplines: track, BMX, road and mountain biking, swimming and diving competitions and the first Major League Baseball (MLB) to be played in Europe and cycling disciplines:
The Park is a world famous destination with its beautiful open spaces and world-class facilities, and a myriad of London’s best restaurants, sport events and cultural offerings. It has space for athlete training, major events and community use. See elite athletes compete, or try a new sport yourself. Enjoy walking in the expansive green spaces - every waterway, meadow, wetland and pond in the Park has been designed not only to appeal to our human senses, but also to create a haven for plants, animals and insects.
Today, the athletes’ village, which hosted more than 10,000 Olympians, has been converted into a neighbourhood replete with shops, bars and restaurants, and which houses around 6,000 Londoners. Olympic Park is a remarkable legacy!
Check out ABBA at nearby ABBA Arena. Their dancing and singing was recorded in a studio, them merged with younger versions of themselves (avatars) through computer-generated imagery (CGI). It is so lifelike though they haven't been in concert together since 1979.
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 - Lighten Up/Cut 100 Calories & Hara Hachi Bu
This week give up, swap or cut back on a food or beverage to reduce your daily calorie intake by 100 calories. For instance your coffee - choose milk not cream, or skip the sugar, don't add butter to your bread - use mustard instead of mayo, make a sandwich open-faced with just one slice of bread, apple slices instead of French fries, etc. Maybe you can find one thing to swap, cut back on or eliminate, to reduce your daily calorie intake PERMANENTLY. Find creative hacks to prepare a favorite food, or simply cut out the sodas or lattes. Aim to make a healthy change to moderate your daily food and beverages. Cutting 100 calories a day for 35 days, you could lose 1 pound (3,500 calories), in one year that is ~10+ pounds! Basically, you could cut 100 calories from your daily diet and not really miss it.
Example swap 2 bread and butter (toast) for a Bread Thin with no butter. This saves 177 calories each time you have '2 pieces of bread'.
example of 100 calories or more
1 tbsp butter 107 calories
coffee cream 3 tbsp 100 calories
soda 170 calories
slice of whole wheat bread 100 calories
can of coors light beer 102 calories
4 oz red wine 100 calories
