Summer Slim Down Week 3: It's a new challenge!!

Way to go for Week 2!  Spring Break threw us all for a loop, but success still happened!

Here are the details for Week 3!

WEEK 1 – 3/23-27  MONDAY-FRIDAY

1.       Challenge: CUT IT OUT! Eliminate 2 of the following 4 things for 5 days this week:

1.      No refined grains such as white flour or white rice (items containing wheat must say WHOLE wheat…not just “wheat”)

2.      No refined sweeteners such as sugar, any form of corn syrup, cane juice, or the artificial stuff like Splenda (Honey is okay)

3.      No deep fried foods

4.      No “fast foods”
Choose two things that are hard for you or are weaknesses in your diet.  This is a tough one, I know!

2.       Drink 8 cups (8 oz) of water

3.       Eat 5 fruits & vegetables (1 cup = 1 serving)

4.       Exercise for 60 minutes daily

5.       Weigh-in Saturday 4/11 8:30-9:00 AM

Remember the Points Break-down:
Write everything down = 1 point/day

Drink 8 cups water = 1 point/day
 5 fruits & veggies = 1 point/day
 Challenge (Cut Out 2) = 1 point/day
 Exercise 60 minutes = 1 point/day; 30 minutes = .5 point/day
Come to weigh-in Saturday = 5 points
Lose weight = 5 points; gain or no change = 0 points

I've been watching tracking sheets.  It's time to step it up if you are walking as your main cardio.  Use 20 minutes of your hour to do STRENGTH TRAINING!  And "leisurely walking for 4 hours" doesn't cut the mustard.  I'm just sayin'...

Find strength training workout videos on www.thecleverwoman.net under "workouts".  Do a video 3+ times a week, and you'll notice changes.

Have a fabulous Easter & a gritty, sweaty Week 3!!
