It’s Monday again, and that means it’s meal replacement Mondays! But unlike last week, we decided to add in a 15 minute jog! Challenge: Take a 15 minute jog or fast walk. You can have your meal replacement at any time, but we recommend having a protein shake or bar after you come back from the walk/jog. *Don’t forget, you can still use the promo code JUNE5 at checkout until June 30th to get $5 off any order (limit one per customer)!

Day 6 – No salt! Sodium-Free Friday: try to go the entire day without salt in cooking, out to dinner, or in packaged items. Sodium leads to water and fat retention which can make losing weight more difficult. By cutting sodium you not only increase your chances of shedding lbs, but can you also prevent high blood pressure, reduce risk of heart attack, and possibly even diabetes complications. source: foxnutritionanddiabetesservices.com   Still need the challenge calendar?

www.crosstrainingtips.com Today’s challenge is to alternate 5 pushups and 5 sit ups at each commercial break during your favorite TV show. Let’s be honest, what are you really doing during those commercial breaks? Why not burn some calories and work those muscles while you wait for your show to come back on?  In the span of one program there are at least 5 commercial breaks, so you’ll have already done 25 push-ups and 25 sit-ups during the time it took to watch your show! source: www.wikipedia.com Not a TV person? Do this exercise right when you wake up for a refreshing start to your day!  Do the 5 pushups and 5 sit ups, rest, and repeat until you’ve done 5 sets of each. Good luck!

Thanks for joining us during this challenge! The purpose of this calendar is to push yourself to do something each day you might not normally do. So, let’s begin! Today’s challenge is to begin a food journal. Get a notepad and begin to take note of every single thing that you put into your mouth. Drinks included! Writing things down makes it real. Oh, no one saw you eat the corner of that brownie? Well, your journal did! Take time to write down servings, time of day and how you felt after. This isn’t about anyone or anything but YOU. The journal acts as a method to document your feelings, learn about eating patterns (stress-eating, over-eating, not eating the right things, etc.) and to understand how your body and mind work together. So get to it! Let us know if you have any questions in the comment section.
