Forgive me for not sending the challenge out until this morning!
I have been hearing lots of resolves to do better. "I ate too much sugar this week but next week I'm going to get back on track!" "My life is super stressful right now so I haven't been sticking to the program but I plan do better next week!" "I haven't had the things I need on hand (fruits and veggies etc.) and have done poorly but next week I will get back on the program!"
Your challenge this week is to improve! Take a look at your weekly report. Choose an area that you have been doing poorly in. Make a detailed plan to do better in that area. For example:
1. If you haven't been getting your fruit and veggies in go to the store and purchase a good variety. Clean and cut up several portions. Perhaps you need to buy yourself a little cooler lunch box so you can take them with you in the car when you do errands.
2. If you have been getting less than an hour of exercise points a day figure out how to do better: make plans to exercise with a friend, buy a new exercise DVD so if you are in a time pinch you can exercise at home, get up earlier in the morning if needed.
3. If you have been missing writing down some of the food you eat perhaps you need to put a program on your phone to record what you eat or buy a cute little notebook and take it with you everywhere.
4. If you have been eating sweets more than once a week maybe you need to clean out your cupboard and get rid of the sugary temptations, plan your daily food ahead of time and stick to your plan, or buy some sweet non-sugar treats (my favorites are sugar free fudge sickles or Crystal light with Sonic ice ) for when you get that sweet craving.
5. If you have not been getting your water in maybe you need to buy a large cup that holds lots of ounces and fill it in the morning with a plan for how many refills you need during the day and when you will drink them.
6. If you have not been maintaining and losing weight perhaps you need to continue the challenge to record every mouthful you eat on a program that counts the calories for you and stay within your calorie range.
Make a plan to improve your worst category and for every day you stick to your plan you earn 5 bonus points.
And if you have already been sticking to the program well in every category then the bonus points are yours for continuing the good work!
Have a great week and DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR MEASUREMENTS AS PART OF TODAY'S REPORT!
