Goal of the week: No cigarettes after drinking on Friday
I’m going to a party this Friday and I occasionally will partake in social smoking. My goal is to not smoke since my 5k is coming up soon.
70 days to drop weight until Christmas eve.
Need some motivation?
- Buy a dress for Christmas that is one size or two sizes too small
- Hang it up somewhere you will see it everyday
- Throw away the receipt (that way there is not going back)
Alternate plan (for people who broke like me)
- Find a few cute dresses online that you could afford in the future
- Print out a picture of them, write the smaller dress size on the picture
- Put away the money you would spend on food to save up for the dress
I gotta start training for my 5k
3 Tips for a Healthy Lunch
According to eatwell.com
-
1. Vegetables
Making vegetables the largest portion of your lunch boosts your lunch’s total nutrition (vegetables deliver disease-fighting phytochemicals and essential vitamins and minerals) and gives you a healthy dose of fiber—a must-have when you’re dieting. Why? Fiber helps you stay satisfied longer, plus research shows that upping your fiber intake may help promote weight loss. Find low-cal, high-fiber lunch recipes here.
-
2. Lean Protein
Adding a little lean protein to your lunch (think: tofu, chicken, fish or beans) is an easy way to stay satisfied throughout the afternoon—gram for gram, protein will keep you feeling fuller longer compared to carbohydrates and fat. Pack in the protein with these high-protein, low-cal lunch recipes.
-
3. Whole-Wheat Bread
Eating whole-wheat bread in place of refined white bread may help you trim your total body fat, as well as that much-hated belly bulge. A study in the Journal of Nutrition showed that people who ate about 3 servings of whole grains a day had about 2.4 percent less body fat and 3.6 percent less abdominal fat than those who ate barely any whole grains at all. Aim for at least three servings of whole grains daily (a slice of whole-wheat bread equals one serving). Other great sources: whole-grain cereal, oats, bulgur, quinoa and brown rice.
I can’t wait for another race
