Michelle's weekly warm up challenges

12WBT
Warm Up Challenges:
Wk 1:
Make your change something specific and achievable. It doesn't have to be a game changer, choose something you can manage.
Here are some you might want to try:
Halve your soft drink intake
No snacking between meals except for whole fruit
Encourage one other person to do a training session with you eg walk, gym class, something different
Walk somewhere you would normally drive - to the corner store or train station.

So, mine here has been a big one :) i have gotten over 10 of my friends to sign up to round 2 and that is a BIG achivement!!!!!!

 Less coffee, today i have had 3 coffee's not GOOD

Daniel is going to join the gym :D

I'm going to start walking on my lunch break.

Wk 2:
My challenge for you this week is:
Halve your non water drink intake. Ideally reduce your fluid intake to only include water, tea, herbal tea and the occasional coffee.
As a general guide try to drink approx 30mL of water per kilo of body weight (eg, a 75kg person would need to drink 2.25 litres a day).
  That's alot of water Mish!! but i'll do it! my poor, poor bladder hahahahaah



 Wk 3:
This week I am setting you an exercise challenge. I want you to walk, swim, cycle, row, run 30km this week. Break it down into small chunks. You might walk 5km on monday, cycle 10km on Tuesday, swim 1km on Wed. Etc... Mix it up, keep it interesting, try something new! Oh and driving in your car does NOT count!

Done this on the weekend!! cause i only signed up for round 2 the other day i had Saturday and Sunday to do this! so i did a 15km walk on Saturday & Sunday.

 Wk 4:
Here is a challenge that some people find challenging. Not because it's hard, but because it's confronting.
Over the next 7 days I want you to write down everything you eat and drink. Don't change your diet, eat as you always have. For many the simple act of writing down what they eat causes them to think twice about what they eat.
How many times a week are you eating take away, how much alcohol do you drink in a week. Would your grandmother recognise everything on the ingredients list?
Have a look at what pops up in your food diary most often, is it a packet of chips at 3pm everyday, a few glasses of wine with dinner every night?

So it's Monday, i'm going to try my best not to have that glass of wine i want when i get home!!

Wk5:
A big part of the 12WBT program is eating regular meals and including snacks to keep your metabolism firing. This week I would like you to start planning your meal and snack times to help to avoid unconscious or emotional snacking and eating. So I’m asking you to pre-plan not only WHAT you are going to eat, but WHEN you will eat it. Try doing the entire week up front!

Big tick for this, Daniel & i did this on the weekend we picked out our Fav meals and i went shopping and got all the ingredients so we have no excuse but to eat right!
