Also do you like tea? (Not sweet tea) Because drinking tea is a really good detox, if you don't like water it also disguises it. <br /><br />Do you eat snacks late at night? <br /><br />You also mentioned your struggle during football season, which I totally understand. Could you host a game at your house and then provide the snacks? You could have veggies and fruit and healthy stuff and it may end up helping your friends out, too. <br /><br />Also, is it possible for H to go running/walking with you, and for him to sign up for the half? It could be a fun thing to do together, and would motivate each of you more if you have that commitment to each other. <br /><br />-Megbo2012MeaghanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147080123063399474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543419248904928727.post-38544283074890903412011-09-18T11:38:08.564-05:002011-09-18T11:38:08.564-05:00Hmm, I see you've already received some awesom...Hmm, I see you've already received some awesome suggestions. Pretty much everything I was thinking of is already listed here. Some key ones that I think are great challenges:<br /><br />-Cutting out soda/coffee and replacing with water<br />-Going meatless 1-2 times a week<br />-Avoiding eating out as much as possible and making your meals at home. <br />-Trying to avoid processed foods<br />-Trying a new exercise class/routine. I love kickboxing while my roommate loves Zumba. <br /><br />My current challenge is to try and get eight hours of sleep a night --not going so well. But sleep, exercise and nutrition all go together into making you a healthy person. <br /><br />Try not to get too stressed about your challenges, either. Mistakes and slipping up are what happens in real life--and they're relatable. Just keep trying!<br /><br />PS-- Thanks for the blog shout-out! I'm going to try and take a lesson from you and update more frequently--you're rocking it!Samantha Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829821866274789260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543419248904928727.post-16049751947464295092011-09-14T12:19:01.328-05:002011-09-14T12:19:01.328-05:00Not sure if you are a huge meat eater or anything....Not sure if you are a huge meat eater or anything. But maybe try a couple of times one week to eat no meat that day.<br /><br />A while ago, a goal was to try every veggie at the store, maybe pick up 3 or 4 different types of veggies a week, and work them into your dinner or lunch.<br /><br />Do you drink soda/pop a lot? Coffee style drinks? Try to keep liquid calories under 200-300 a day. If you drink just straight coffee, that is only 5 calories per 16oz cup. Adding milk and sugar doesn't even add to many cals.<br /><br />Set a minimum time and minimum day for walking. Like 4 times this week, I'm going to walk for 30-45 minutes after dinner. X will like it.<br /><br />That's all I got for now.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025044548227198725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543419248904928727.post-89871451503514914942011-09-13T20:25:21.657-05:002011-09-13T20:25:21.657-05:00A week where you make only positive comments about...A week where you make only positive comments about your body - in "real life" or online.<br /><br />How are your water drinking habits? If you don't usually get enough, maybe see how many days in a row you can meet your daily requirement for water.<br /><br />Read at least one article on healthy living (in a magazine or online) every day for a week?<br /><br />Just a few suggestions. They may all suck. But I'll be cheering for you either way!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707870027944452944noreply@blogger.com
