3lbs lost, 1.35% weekly, 11.02 total & 29 miles.
Challenge #1: What I have been doing is being more active, giving myself a cheat day on the day of weigh in, watching portion control & I save more of the calories I get for dinner time because I feel like that is the more tempting meal/time for me.
Let me explain a little more. I reached my goal to be working out or staying active 5x a week by doing little things like walking more or just getting out and jumping on the trampoline with my nieces and nephews. I feel like most of my success has come from giving myself a cheat day where I can have whatever I want without feeling guilty. This has made me not feel deprived of the things I like that probably aren't the best for me haha. Dinner time is hard meal for me because you go out to eat with friends or on a date & for some reason that is when I want to have a dessert or a treat of sorts. Well by allowing for more calories at dinner I can do that & still stay within my calories. This also leads right in to challenge
#2: If I go out to eat I look to see if they have a lighter menu or healthy option & if not then I am not afraid to say "Can I get that without mayo or light on the sauce?" things like this save on calories a lot. Also portion control is huge. I usually only end up eating half or less of what I ordered & then I save it for the next night.
