Mini Challenge and Today's Menu
It seems there are several people interested in this mini-challenge, which is wonderful! I believe I said that it was a 6 week challenge, but it's actually a 4 week challenge. Suzanne (Bubblz7) and I decided that there was really no way for us to compare our progress with each other because we have completely different goals. So we decided that the best way to do this was to each set our own personal goals. The person who gets the closest to their personal goals is the champion! My goals are: Clean eating, no missed workouts, to go from 17.7% bf to 15.5% (is that right Suzanne? I can't find that pm I sent you!) and to go from 135 pounds to 127.Suzanne's goals are: Clean eating, no missed workouts, maintain current weight, get bf to 18% and to finish her 20K in 2 hours or less. We have to report in to each other every day, either through pm, e-mail or just post our day on our blog. So whoever would like to join us in this challenge, please speak up now! It will be fun!
Today has been really good so far. 3rd clean eating day in a row! I haven't done my two workouts yet, as they will have to be later this evening because we have the kids.
Suzanne (Moggie) was curious about my diet, and I'm a bit hesitant to post it because it is not by-the book. I do not use the fist portion size method, nor do I go by the rule of 1 carb, 1 protein, 1 fat for each of the 6 meals. For one thing, I am not trustworthy to go my the fist method. Did you all know that my fist gets bigger with each meal? How does that happen? lol. Secondly, I closely monitor my caloric, fat, carb, protein intake, and I can't stay in the range that I've set by having a carb-fat-protein with every meal. Bill was banking on the idea that most people will not go to the lengths of keeping track of all of this, which is why he came up with the plan that he did. With that being said, here is my complete menu for today:
Calories: 1416
Fat: 27 (18%)
Carbs: 152 (40%)
Protein: 145 (42%)
M1: 4 servings Egg Beaters, 1 protein shake (made w/water)
M2: 1 serving low-fat cottage cheese, 1 serving Carb Control yogurt, 1 small apple
M3: Fat free bologna sandwhich w/1 slice 2% Kraft Cheese Single on multi-grain bread, 1 serving low-fat cottage cheese, 1 serving low-carb, low-sugar yogurt, 1 serving sugar-free jello
M4: 10 raw baby carrots, 1 medium banana
M5: 1 turkey burger w/1 slice 2% Kraft Cheese Single, 1 serving carrots, 1 serving corn
M6: 1 protein shake (made w/water)
Throughout the day, I had 3 servings of fat-free CoffeeMate creamer, that is included in my calculations.
Update: Ok, so I freaked because when I clicked on Moggie's blog several times tonight, I got the good ole' URL not found. I even tried going through someone else's blog through the comment section and got the same result. Thanks to those who calmed me down and told me that Suzanne's blog was still there! I had a pretty good UBWO tonight, followed by 20 minutes of low intensity cardio. WhoooYaaa!
