So these next two weeks I'm starting my own challenge. I saw this on my Instagram thingy mer jig, and thought "Oh, this is an awesome idea!"
What "ABC" stands for is "Abs Better than Cake." The thought of that kinda made me all tingly inside! So, I'm on day one, and surprisingly it's not as easy as it may seem. I've told myself "only 13 more days" about 10 times already. While walking through the store looking at all the yummies, it's staying mentally strong!!
So, here are my personal guidelines:
1. Tracking ALL food, no matter what!
2. Trying to double the protein to carbs.
3. Drink water, water and yeah, more water!
4. Start eating more color (I'm guilty of white...I need veggie colors!!)
While it may seem simple, it really reduces what you can eat! All of these things mean cutting out a lot of processed foods, watching portion sizes, being aware when I go out, so this is 2 weeks of pure dedication!!
One wrench already gonna be tossed into this machine is an event this upcoming Saturday. This, my friends is going to be my first half marathon!! Oh goodness, 13.1 MILES! I know, many run full marathons, but we're talking about the girl here who, in elementary school couldn't even complete ONE mile! I'm SO nervous but I know I can do this, as long as I'm properly fueled! Last time I ran a 12 mile run, I burned over 1300 calories!! Hmm...well, that's a whole other challenge! :)
So, that's my life the next couple weeks...wish me luck, and join me if you'd like!!!
