Hey everyone! We wanted to let you know about our 60 Day Challenge!! We have set up four goals that we want to accomplish or consistently be doing for the next 60 days..and hopefully creating some habits!
Here they are:
1. Drink a minimum of 80 ounces of water a day. Water helps hydrate you and flush you out! We use 24 oz. Camelbak water bottles because they have straws and are durable. If you drink a little over 3 of them, then you've reached your water goal for the day!
2. Add 2 more servings of vegetables to your daily meals. Cut up cucumber or carrots for a snack or add them to your dinner!
3. Go to the gym or workout a minimum of 3 times a week. If you can't get to the gym then go on a walk during your lunch break, turn on music and dance, do jumping jacks and sit-ups while watching TV...get creative! Get your body moving and blood pumping for at least 30 minutes to an hour! Trust us..you'll feel better once you do!
4. With all of these goals combined, the ultimate goal is to lose 10 pounds in the 60 days. That's only 5 pounds a month!
Oh and one thing we have found super helpful is www.livestrong.com! You can sign up for free and put in your height/weight and goals and it will tell you the calories, protein, carbs, etc you are supposed to have per day and you can track your food! It helps you see when you need to up your protein or maybe you are eating a lot of sodium and need to eliminate certain foods. Check it out! (you can also get the app on your phone!)
With these goals..drinking more water and eating more veggies you will more then likely be eliminating other things you drink/eat like pop, juice, crackers, chips. Replace the junk with good stuff and you'll start to see a difference!
We will be sharing more tips with you on recipes we have found, go-to meals that are delicious and low in calories/high in protein and workout tips! If you want to join in our 60 Day Challenge send us an email at FitForLifePDX@gmail.com or post in the comments section!
