Week 5: Dry Week
I'm posting this challenge early as I probably won't be accessing the internet too much over the weekend, too much else on! So, starting Monday 10 November, I challenge you to not consume a single drop of alcohol all week (not even in your cooking!). I know this challenge will be easy for some, if you don't usually drink…
WeeK 4: Challenge Your Mind
This week's challenge comes from mellyboobear: Learn something new about nutrition/wellness/fitness/health everyday for the week. So get out there, Google up a storm, dust off some old books and feed your mind. Maybe post your findings here so we can all learn from them :smile:
Week 3: Try something new
This week I challenge you to try a new food or drink every day. Go for something you have never tried before. It doesn't have to be a whole meal, just a snack. But make sure you really give it a good taste. I'm starting things off by trying a blueberry chia pod by The Chia Co. It's like a chia seed dessert type pod, and…
Week 2: Make It Yourself
This week I'm challenging you to make 2 out of 3 of your daily main meals yourself (or 4 out of 6 if you eat 6 small meals a day). This doesn't include snacks, but your larger meals only. I know making your own meals can be a real challenge for some, so I haven't asked for it to be every meal this week (even I wouldn't do…
When I've lost my food mojo...
I remembered another thing that helps me get my food squared away. I use Tosca Reno's Clean Eating menus. I follow them pretty closely. I say that only because if it says eat a plum and they aren't in season I'll replace with another fruit. Or I really hate tuna, so I'll replace with chicken. I keep it like for like.…
Week 1: No sweets for the week!
For this week I'm making a simple challenge of no sweets: specifically chocolate, cakes, slices, ice cream, candy and soda for a week. Last week I really struggled to contain myself with anything sweet so hopefully this challenge will help to rein my cravings in! Good luck, and remember to keep us updated :smile:
Ideas for future challenges...
Here's some ideas for what we could possibly use for future challenges: - No fast food for a week - No alcohol for a week - No prepackaged meals for a week: everything must be made from scratch - Try one new food that you have never tried before every day of the week - Replace a favourite daily TV show episode with a walk…
Ways you can reward yourself
I thought it would be helpful to post a few different ways that you can reward yourself if you achieve each challenge. The focus is to get away from rewarding yourself with food or drinks. - Book a massage, hair treatment, manicure, pedicure or other beauty treatment - See a movie or buy a new DVD - Buy a new clothing item…
