I love to follow the Tone It Up girls for inspiration, motivation and entertainment! I like to use their weekly schedule as a guide for my weekly workouts but I rarely do their PM challenges. They are doing a Love Your Body challenge from Jan 1 until Valentines Day and I am making more of an effort to do the nightly challenges to improve the way I think about myself, my life and my happiness.
The challenge on Monday night was to make a list of 10 things you love about YOU! I took some time to think about what to write down. I have to say it was a little awkward and I had a hard time coming up with 10 at first. But once I let my guard down my thoughts started flowing. It should not be difficult to list 10 things but the problem is I typically don’t think about myself in that way and that needs to change. It was a really good exercise and we should all think more about what we love about ourselves. We all need to think about ourselves in a more positive light and writing down 10 things you love about you is a great start. I highly recommend it! And, read the list often to remind yourself you are incredible!
It’s a little awkward sharing but here is my list. Let me know in the comments below a few things you love about YOU. Be-YOU-tiful!
Like the majority of you all, I used the start of the new year to refocus my diet and try to eat a little healthier and cleaner. I thought it would be helpful for me to participate in What I Ate Wednesday to encourage me to eat healthy and stay on track.
My planned meals for the day were:
Breakfast: Chobani Plain Greek yogurt with cinnamon and coconut and a banana — I also try to drink a small cup of OJ with a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar.
Lunch: Salad with lots of veggies and an apple
Snack: Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt KIND bar and {not pictured} carrots and sugar snap peas
Dinner: Sauteed Kale with onions and mushrooms, mixed green salad and chicken
There was some unplanned snacking (per usual). When I get home from work I go right for the snacks. Last night it was Wheat Thins and cheddar cheese and chili & lime flavored pistachios from my Graze box. Vinnie got me a 5 week subscription to Graze which is a snack delivery service. I am on week 2 and 50/50 on it. I really like some of the snacks, but others not so much. Maybe, I will do a review on Graze later in the month…
I really want to try to stop grazing through out the day. Its something I really need to focus on and be conscious of because I find myself just grabbing a cracker when it’s in front of me even if I am not hungry. I am taking it one day at a time, but if I can figure this out, I would be a happy camper!
