Hey girls!! Soo… I’ve gained some weight over the last few months from traveling and I’m the biggest I’ve been in a long time. We leave for Cancun in 45 days- OH NO!!! And Jonathan and I really want to start eating cleaner/less processed/ etc. because we feel great on the days we do. I found a challenge online that I’m going to do and wanted to know if anyone wanted to join me J? I made this challenge from different websites I found on Pinterest.
Take your weight, measurements & photos! In order to know if you’ve made progress in 30 days you’ll need a baseline. Take your measurements of EVERYTHING (bust, under bust, waist, around belly button, hips, butt, left: bicep, forearm,
inner thigh, calf & right: bicep, forearm, inner thigh and calf) and photos – don’t suck in! if your measurements, weight & photos aren’t what you like to see... use it for motivation. If you suck in you won’t know if you’ve made any progress!
What You Can't Eat:
· Sweets
· Salt
· Sauces Cheese (Dairy)
· Soda
· Dressings
· White Bread
· Pasta
· Carbs after 3pm
· Alcohol
Make Sure to Eat:
· At least 8 glasses of water
· At least 1 cup of green tea
· 1 cheat meal per week (PLANNED ahead of time)
· Breakfast
MONTHLY CUTS: each month cut out bad foods from your diet that you're obsessed with. The goal is to get past the 30 days and then it is easier to stay on track for forever with it. Here are my problem areas:
· February- chips
· March- Frozen food
· April- sweets/baked goods
· May- white bread
· June- ice cream
Work out: At least 5-6 days per week working doing either cardio and at least 2 days of weights/body weight/toning exercises per week. It may be hard to find time to work out- I travel A LOT internationally too. I'll post and share lots of things you can do without a gym or on the road. Even just taking walks on your lunch break will start to help you or having a routine to do before you get into the shower... 1 pound is 3,500 calories. If you do 1,000 jumping jacks that is equal to 1 pound. Try to do 5 or 10 sets of 100 jumping jacks followed by crunches & push ups if you're tight on time. It will make a big difference!
The 100s: Do 100 of some exercise every day (lunges, squats, crunches, jumping jacks, etc...) on your lunch break or in the morning or before a shower, some time that is not part of your work out but becomes a routine for you
TIPS:
Sleep! Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep if you can, your body needs it for the workouts and to break down the food you ate.
Morning Water: Get a 16 oz. cup of water when you wake up and finish it before you go to work, this will help start your metabolism and knock off 2 cups of water too! I actually stopped drinking water at 3pm and then started again at the gym so I wouldn’t need to use the bathroom during workout class lol.
Eat when you’re hungry: if you’re not hungry don’t eat. Keep some whole fruits around your office so that when your starving you can grab an apple or orange.
Track It! Use the attached tracker to see your progress and keep yourself on track! Try my excel document below!
