The Mamas are getting strict on this challenge. Last time we only had to walk/run/hike/swim/jog, etc. 90 miles but were left on our own concerning food.
In case you’re interested in joining along, here are the guidelines for the next 6 weeks:
1) Do some kind of aerobic activity for one hour a day, six days a week. (I placed a new ticker below and in 2 hours).
ETA: Walking is great! I’ve already received a couple of e-mails asking if it’s OK to walk. Just get moving for an hour a day.
2) Rest one day each week, so you will exercise a total of 36 hours by the end of June. I chose sunday as my rest day.
3) Only beverage allowed is water (no cokes, artificially sweetened water, or juices–although I say fresh juice made from a juicer is great, but I’m not the one setting the rules here).
4) No dining out. All meals must be prepared at home. It doesn’t mean that everything must be made from scratch, but it does mean no drive-thrus or going to restaurants.
For example, swap an Egg McMuffin, coke, and hash brown for a whole-grain English Muffin, a piece of fresh fruit, and a big glass of water. If you need more examples, let me know.
5) Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
So far I’ve done fairly well but my allergies are still bugging me. As soon as I started getting symptoms I began drinking plenty of water and that’s helped.
The final date is June 28th.
