Hey guys!
I have decided that it is time for me to get healthy, I eat very unhealthy, I'm a bigger sugar-holic and absolutely addicted to candy and other sweet things. I wouldn't say I'm fat, I'm just very normal. And I have a very clean skin. But still I think I have to quit the sugar and unhealthiness. I do get pimples on my nose when I've eaten very unhealthy one day. Also the fat gets to my inner thighs, there might not be a lot, but there will be soon if I don't change my habits. So I've decided to make my own challenge, lasting 15 days "Getting healthy - one bite at a time", so even though I will be working out, it's not officially a part of the challenge, but I do recommend you working out too. Please join me and do this challenge with me! I'm starting monday, and that's because I'm going to Italy in 15 days then exactly and I'm going to do this before, cause I don't think I can hold it down there... anywayzz there will be a little challenge every day! I've made a list with the 15 challenges and you don't have to do them now with me, you can save this challenge for another time. But of course it would be the most fun if you joined me now! Anyways it's mostly pictures, and if you feel like sharing them then please do so in the comments below or write me an e-mail Maia.Elle@hotmail.com with the picture or just the challenge in it. I will be looking forwards to see all of your "entries" hahaa! SO here the challenges come! Please join me PEOPLE!
Day 1: Take a picture or write down everything you eat this day! - eat what you usually eat on a normal day, don't be healthier because of this! Because what we want to achieve with this challenge is to see how many unhealthy things you actually end up eating after all.
Day 2: Bake for school! - Find a healthy recipe on bread on the internet or if you already have one, and bake bread to make a healthy sandwich for a healthy lunch at school.
Day 3: Eat your six fruits/vegetables today! - You can just be honest, you don't really eat 6 pieces of fruit or vegetables a day now do you? No.. But today you will!
Day 4: Make yourself breakfast! - weather it's healthy banana pancakes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FA9Z7vvRIw), oatmeal (1 dl. oats and 2,5 dl. water and then heat it until it has the right feeling) or whatever you can make up.
Day 5: Eat your fish! - Eat something with fish in it! Anything as long as it contains fish.
Day 6: Think about everything you eat! - think about everything you put in your mouth today, and try to avoid sugar all day.
Day 7: Try a healthy new dish! - find a healthy recipe (either on the internet or in a book) that you've never tried before, and make it! Maybe you just found your new favorite meal? Make sure it's something with many veggies and protein.
Day 8: Make a healthy smoothie! - try to make a healthy smoothie for you and your friends or family. You can use berries, fruits and yoghurt, but remember no ice-cream or sugar, keep it healthy.
Day 9: Have an "only-fluids-day"! - Offer your parents to make soup and then only eat fluid food all day! Remember not to starve yourself! But eat/drink soups, juices, smoothies and remember lot's of water!
Day 10: Make healthy snacks! - find recipes on the internet and use your imagination to create your own. Make 3-5 different kinds of snacks you can bring to school or eat at home instead of candy or chips.
Day 11: Drink 2 liters water! - concentrate on drinking your 2 liters water today.
Day 12: Vegetarian day! - you can't eat meat all day. You can individually decide if you can eat fish or not.
Day 13: Tea day! - Start the day of with a nice and healthy cup of green tea, you can bring it to school too if you have a cup that can hold it warm.
Day 14: Make yourself a salad! - Make a healthy delicious salad and bring it to school or enjoy it at home. You can put pasta, tuna, chicken, ham or whatever in to spice it up a bit.
Day 15: Take a picture or write down everything you eat this day! - Again eat whatever you like, whatever you feel like, now compare from the first challenge and see if you have some more healthy eating ways, after our challenge.
Yes and I'm challenging you to join me on monday, or do this a later time. And I would absolutely love it if you send me your results or recipes you've found. I'm looking so much forward to this! It's gonna be so much fun!!!!
I really hope you join me, both for me but also for you!
Love,
M.E
Your suggestions are horrible.If anything it'll make them gain weight.You're supposed to drink 8 cups a water a day,it doesn't count if you do it for one...You can't have only fluids,that's so unhealthy.You can eat whatever you want just portion it.And you can eat sugar just not a bunch of it.
SvarSletWell you might be right, the fluids day was only because I needed another challenge. If you have another suggestion I would love to do it instead, I do think it would be very difficult to only eat fluids for an entire day, and you're right it's probably not even that healthy. I think 8 cups is about the same as 2 liters, so I think that is okay. Please feel free to enter suggestions to make it a better challenge, cause I must admit there is a couple of these that doesn't really work and that could easily be replaces, I did make them in a hurry so it's not the best anyone could do.
