Who wants to take part in the Christmas Challenge? I have (been!) volunteered to run this, and want to get it set up before I leave on holiday on 25/10. You can of course join the challenge at any time, and I will be able to check in while away and see how everyone is going, but it will help me if I am organized beforehand.
The challenge will start on Monday 30 October, and run for 8 weeks right up til Christmas Day - though you can chose an earlier end date if that is better for you.
As well as your goal for the challenge (which will probably be weight related), please tell us what (weight) management strategies you plan to use to achieve that goal.
I will award stars based on how well you adhere to your strategies each week:
2 stars if you follow the strategies all or almost all the time
1 star if you didn't quite follow them all the time, but are still happy with what you did (you tell me if this is the case).
You can of course change your strategies at any time.
As an example:
My goal is to lose some inches from my tummy and hips.
My strategies are:
- basic 5:2 whenever possible (I probably won't fast when on holiday, but hope to have a few light days if we are not too active that day)
- only eating after dinner if I am genuinely hungry
- minimizing the fatty sugary foods
- not eating the fatty sugary foods while doing other activities (eg reading or watching TV) - i.e. eat mindfully
- continuing my exercise regime
Any queries about the challenge?
