This Thanksgiving I will be traveling and staying with my parents in a hotel suite for 3 nights and 4 days. This is going to make eating well and exercising difficult. I will be packing all my exercise gear and hope to get in several workouts including some beach runs/HIIT workouts. I can go in with the best intentions but I know that things may not work out as planned. Plus, I really love Thanksgiving and eating all the yummy food and drinking delicious wine!
I've decided to come up with mini challenges over this approaching holiday season to help ward off all the unpleasant side effects of over indulging and general slothiness that takes over. My first challenge will begin on Sunday and will last for 3 days. I'm hoping it will keep me motivated to stay focused through the long weekend.
I will work out for 2 hours each day
Eat 3 meals of around 400 calories each
Eat 2 snacks of 150 calories each
Eat around 100 grams protein
Eat between 40-50 grams of fiber
And that's it!
My next challenge will start the Monday after Thanksgiving and will be similar but with more specific fitness goals and will last up to 3 weeks depending on holiday events.
After doing the slim down and gaining the weight back, I realize that loosing weight that quickly will not stay off! I won't do it again until January and even then I will modify so that I can hopefully keep some of it off!
Tomorrow I have 2 big birthday parties so will be a blow out for sure! Will be doing Tonique Premier in the morning and eating healthy until the evening.
This week I have been eating clean but as much as I want with some minor spurges here and there. I have dropped a few pounds that I gained over the weekend and am hanging in the low 130's. I'm pretty fine with that. I have been getting up every morning and working out for at least one hour so it seems that as long as I only eat when I am hungry, I can maintain this figure. I'd love to be able to get through the holidays at this level of fitness and I'm hoping that my mini challenges will help me to do that.
