February - No Fast Food Challenge.

Days NO fast foods = 3
Days under calories = 3

I will as well! I went no fast food in January...ate one of my grandpas McDonald's fries like halfway through and spit it back out *ugh tasted gross!* My biggest weakness are Jimmy John's Turkey subs...but they're under 400 calories so I don't count them lol

You're right, Jimmy John's shouldn't count! The great thing about JJ's is you can go to their website and take like a Turkey sub, click to remove the mayo, click add something else, and see how the calorie/fat/carb totals change. You can get a decent sub at JJ's and it's still healthy and filling. And it is far, far better than Subway. Just because it's prepared and delivered quickly I don't think it should qualify as "fast food". Enjoy your Jimmy John's!

I messed up today and had pizza. However, I'm still going to press on.

Days no fast Food = 3
Days w/fast food = 1
Days left = 25

That is fine dear!! 3 to 1 is an excellent ratio. I really fought urges today to go by several places. They were not fast food but no on plan. I declined invites because the food was just as fattening as fast foods. Rib tips in Chicago are at fast food places. We can pick up rib tips like picking up chicken from KFC. So I knew the pot luck would have rib tips and fried chicken so I went home and had my delicious turkey necks!!

I had a piece of pie and a candy bar but I just can't call that fast foods. and since I was over my calories I went ahead and did a exercise DVD to make sure I came under my calories today I was also fighting urges to binge. So today I did good fighting several urges. Now that I have made it thru Friday night and Saturday, Sunday should be uneventual. Sunday's are usually pretty good.

Sounds like a plan!

Mollie, I was born and raised in Chicago and believe me I know about the rib tips. Man! if I was living there now, it would be more of a struggle because the food is so good. Rib tips, White Castle, Pepe's, pizza, Harold's Chicken, Lawrence Shrimp House..just to name a few.

Good for you on walking away. Unfortunately, the pizza was brought into the house. I have to work on being stronger. I can't expect others in the house not to eat out just because I can't.

Thanks! what I do for work is make sure I have some healthier version or food I can eat when they are eating fast foods and sweets for breakfast.

Well on to week 2! Have a good week eveyrone!!

I still haven't had any Taco Bell this month. Yay me. Believe me I'm craving it though.

Someone came into the house with some Wendy's. I was tempted to get some fries, but I just walked away.

Consistency is key not perfection!! Good job getting back on track.

Below is another good reminder on the power of positive thinking. Our outlook and attitude does affect our outcomes

Change Your Attitude!!!!!

There is nothing as motivating, nothing as powerful as your attitude and there is nothing as defeating as negative self-talk.

We have heard all before the pity party, the complaining, the doubt, do you want to end up with a shattered self image?

Here is the negative things we should be avoid saying: -
I can’t lose weight no matter what I do......
Why can everyone else lose weight except me?........
It’s not fair.....
It’s not my fault because I don’t have good genes.......
I wish I could get rid of this gut.......
It will never work because I like food too much.......
I don’t have the willpower to get lean.....
I would workout but I don’t have time.....
I just can’t get myself up that early to workout.....
I hate exercise!............

So now let's look the positive approach:-
What can I do today that will help me get closer to my goal?
What can I eat right now at this meal that will help me lose body fat?
How great am I going to feel after I finish my workout?
I am getting leaner every day.
Whatever it takes, I’ll do it.
I like eating healthy foods.
I love working out.
I can do it.
