If you haven't been eating asparagus you are missing out!
I am seeing a lot of posts and that is GREAT! Remember that a determining factor of how successful you are on this 24 day challenge is how often you look at this blog and whether or not you post what you eat. Keep it up everyone!
Today is Sunday, if you wish to start the week off right tomorrow then you must commit time today planning out what you intend to eat this week. I recommend you all do some shopping, cooking and planning. Just like the video I posted with Marcos and Will, pack up your food in ready to go containers. Most of you have very demanding schedules and will be extremely busy once the alarm goes off Monday morning so take advantage of today and plan out your week. If you do this post it on the blog and let us all know!
Morning - Fiber Drink with Breakfast (NO FIBER DRINK TOMORROW)
Evening before bed - Herbal Cleanse pack
*Spark - in the morning in place of coffee and/or before exercise (and/or mid afternoon for energy)
*Catalyst - 3 capsules mid morning and mid afternoon (also before working out)
*Meal Replacement Shake - drink in place of a meal (try and eat 4-5 meals per day), you may also drink in place of breakfast.

I am doing this program to learn how to eat more healthy. I have a major addiction to sweets, so my main goal is to get through this challenge without cheating!
Some of you did not post on day 2 (you know who you are), remember how important it is to post if you want to be successful on this challenge. Thank you to those of you who did!

Adam - also, try to add some meat or nuts with your snacks that are just fruit.
ReplyDeleteLamanda - same as I told Adam, try adding protein or nuts to your snacks.
ReplyDeleteEric - good job, you are probably right where you need to be with calories, those 2 eggs would have been perfect. Any less and you would be too low.
ReplyDeleteBryce - food looks good, afternoon snack was missing but other than that good job.
ReplyDeleteChristina - your food was cleanse friendly but I did not see any protein until the chicken at dinner. Try to eat some protein at every meal and snack if possible.
ReplyDeleteKathy - haha, I know you meant food :-) I would say to have no more than three "20 piece" servings per day. So, a total of 60 pieces but spread out over three meals/snacks. Your food looks great, I am so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteNathalie - always aim to have some protein with every meal and try not to have fruit by itself. We will discuss why at the meeting tomorrow. Also, you ate a good mid morning meal but then it was like you did not eat the rest of the day until dinner. try to eat more consistently, I know it is hard and it will only get harder during the week. So you must plan and prepare your food ahead.
ReplyDeletePapa Lima - looks good but watch for portion control, try not to overeat even if it is healthy food. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteCallie - good job, if you felt hungry at the end of the day it is because you could add something to that mid morning snack. 2 hard boiled eggs would be good.
ReplyDeleteWill - instead of the orange and banana at breakfast cut out one of the fruit and have a bell pepper or some veggies with the eggs.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - looks good, I know having two shakes in a day is always filling but it does the job.
ReplyDeleteMelonie - yes, the frequent feeding is helping with that. Since you are giving your body enough food it is not begging you to stuff yourself. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteRhonda - not enough food, you have to eat more. Look at everyone elses food journals and try to eat more like they are - 5 times per day. You do not want to deprive your body of calories, we will discuss this tomorrow at the meeting.
ReplyDeleteMichelle R. - looks good but try to add some more veggies.
ReplyDeleteMaria - good job! I am going to assume you passed on the dressing on that salad for lunch :-)
ReplyDeleteKandis - Way to resist the bbq sauce! That is the same brand we have, it is good almond butter. As long as it is "natural". Your food looks good, I know the bbq places use a ton of salt on their meat but you did the best you could, I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteLauren - try adding 10-20 nuts with those snacks. Food looks good!
ReplyDeleteZach - instead of eating 2 chicken breasts at lunch and dinner, try to eat one at mid morning, lunch, mid afternoon and dinner. Make sense?
ReplyDeleteEric - no, drink one for three days in a row. So Monday and Tuesday for you.
ReplyDeleteJason - food looks great, with a mid morning snack it would have been even better. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteBryce - looks like a low calorie day and then a big dinner. Try to have enough food through out the day so you are not starving at the end of the day. You really do not want one meal to be larger than the others like that. But, good food choices.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast- oatmeal & banana
ReplyDeleteMid- cantalope & nuts
Lunch- hamburger patty w/ onions and peppers mixed in and spinach salad w/ balsamic
Mid- orange
Dinner- salmon w/ grilled squash and zucchini
