6 Week Non-Conventional Challenge starts 9/1/11

yarmiah

Ok folks, who's up for a different kind of challenge? This one is open to all!

Starting tomorrow, I will post a challenge to be completed everyday. Each day you
do it, you award yourself 1 pt (for a total of 7 points for the week). The following week
there will be a new challenge and opportunity to award yourself points, but continue
doing the same challenge(s) from the previous week(s) and gain additional points!
The challenges build on each other every week.

In addition, you get 3pts if you have a weight loss of 1.5lbs per week.

Each participant is responsible for tracking their own points. (Be honest as you will only cheat yourself.)

Winner gets bragging rights !

To make things easy to find/edit as we go along, please
Copy and paste the information below on seperate thread titled "6 Week NCC Tracking"

All other challenge comments/questions please post in this thread.

WEEK 1 CHALLENGE:

We all know that fruits and vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals and
generally low in calories too!

This week, the challenge is to eat AT LEAST 2-3 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

Award yourself 1 point everyday that you do this, for a possible total of 7 points !

In!

yarmiah

And we're off!

Had some spinach leaves on my egg sandwhich at breakfast!

(HMm, seems there is a time window in which a post can be edited?! that stinks-

will make tracking not as easy as I had hoped.) Guess copy and pasting the
information, and then deleting the old info will be the way to go

I had blueberries, apple and banana with oatmeal at breakfast and my work snacks are a plum & satsuma with some cashews.

Then avocado (my favourite!), tomato, rocket and flageolet beans at lunch.

Later on I'll have gazpacho - lots of tomato, pepper, onion and garlic. Recipe here: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1396636/gazpacho

Yum!

Howdee! Sorry for the late post, but lost power and internet last night and posting
this from work this morning!

I hope eveyrone had a successful week 1! If you ate your 2-3 servings of veggies each day, you
should have awarded yourself 1 pt for each day, for a potnetial 7 pts! Dont forget to give yourself
an extra 3 pts if you had a weight loss of 1.5lb or more too!

This weeks challenge: caloric intake and portion control!
We are all here on MFP and one of the most useful tools is the food tracker!
Watch not only what you eat, but how much of it. Be sure to accurately measure your
portions or you will only cheat yourself!

Stay within your caloric limit each day this week, and award youself 1pt for each do you do!
IN ADDITION, continue to eat your fruits and veggies and earn another point. So each day,
you can earn 2pts!

Good luck!

yarmiah

As for me, I had a successful week 1!

Hope everyone did well!
