Do we have a weekly challenge or something?

healthyhappy123

A weekly challenge (just for fun) sounds like a great idea to me! Anyone have one they would like to challenge the group with? i.e. try a new machine at the gym, cook a new recipe, go out to a restaurant without busting through all your calories, etc.

Whoever posts a challenge first each week, we'll go with it! It might get boring if I decide what the challenges are each week so I'd rather open it up to everyone.

Then, if you completed the challenge, make sure to post in the forum to tell us all about it (how hard/easy it was, how you felt doing it, if you'll do it again, etc.).

Thanks for bearing with me/us while we get on a roll!

I like it! Ok I'm happy to go first - how about trying a new, healthy food this weekend? I personally have two things - firstly I'm gonna try making apple butter for the first time. Now this might not be the most healthy food in itself, but I'm hoping to be able to use it in some recipes in place of oil/real butter, so I figure this one counts as healthy!

Also, I just received my vegetable box for the week (I get it delivered with local produce from local farms and oh my god it's so nice to see proper vegetables with dirt on them and everything!) and I think I'm gonna try juicing some beetroot and maybe some carrots!

Will let you know how I get on! I've always though vegetable juices have the potential to be kind of....hmmmmm...icky, but I'll give it a go!!

Oh yeah, and maybe I'll eat a banana, seeing as now I am one :-)

I like this challenge! I want to try Almond Milk. None of my local supermarkets stock it but the health shop in town does so I'm going to pick some up!

paulahhhh

Good job on the challenge, cathcakey!!

Let's see what I can do!!

Go Peach Peaches!!

I'm gonna be trying out one ingredient ice cream today. I found the recipe on MFP last night, and I noticed it was gonna be super hot here today, so I'm gonna have it as a snack for after i finished up my yard work. Best part of all is that its under 150 calories!

I like the juicing idea. However I'm not a big fan of juicing veggies. . . .I just cannot manage to keep it down. But I think I'll give it a shot with the fruit. I've been trying to figure out ways to limit the amount of sugary juice products that I consume without having to limit myself to just water all the time. I've seen the bags of frozen mixed fruits in the grocery store so this may actually be a great substitute without breaking the bank. :bigsmile:

Oh! And I'm eating my banana as I type!! GO BANANAS!!! :laugh:

mummyv811

Brilliant idea! I will have a think and see what I can find! Obviously will let you all know my progress!

YAY PEACHY PEACHES!!!!!!!!!! And since I'm a peach I'm going to try to eat a peach this weekend! Usually not a fat because of the furry skin, but I'll give it a shot! Good luck everyone! :flowerforyou:

thefreemans28

Oooh, nice challenge... I am trying to think of what I can try. Hmm... well, we are going to be eating out 2 of 3 meals tomorrow when we go to the zoo with friends, so I will probably find something new and healthy on the menus to try! Can't wait to see what the first weeks results will be for us all!!! This is EXACTLY what I need to get motivated to lose these final pounds! WOOHOO!!!

LET'S GO BLUE BERRIES!!!!!!!!
