April 1st – June 21st
Hurray for Spring. Loretta began a new Challenge for us on the first day of Spring. In Alaska Spring won’t be hitting here until the end of May but a gal can dream. Here are the details and my goals.
The Primal Stride Challenges officially lasted for two weeks.
It was a real kick off to the New Year.
I’m very pleased with my results.
1/07 Day 1 - What a great challenge. I think week-long challenges are going to be a great way to keep my focus in 2010.
CRUNCH 1- I didn’t know I could do 250 crunches. I wonder what it will feel like tomorrow.
CRUNCH 2- The vegetable crunch was easy – broccoli. It was very good.
CRUNCH 1- 250 OUCH!
CRUNCH 2- The vegetable crunch today was not my favorite- green beans. BLAH!
As a kid I hated green beans. As an adult if one slips into a dish and I’m unaware I have no problem with the green beast. Oh but a whole dish of the slimy green worms drives me crazy. Oh especially in a lunch line at school. Blahhhh! Like every kid sometimes your vegetables are the worst kind of torture at dinner. Well one evening I had a brillant idea. All throughout dinner I snuck the little green stalks into my milk. I was so sly. I was believing that I was getting away with it until my father told me that I could leave the table when I finished my milk. Blaakkk! You see the milk was in a clear glass. (I didn’t say I was a brilliant kid). Ahhh I can still see those slimy green worms staring at me with every slosh and gulp.
1/10 Day 3 – I was crunched for time. I didn’t start my crunches until 4p.m.
CRUNCH 1- 250 OUCH!
CRUNCH 2- The vegetable crunch today was a green smothie. Very good. I could really taste the bannana and the pear. The spinach just added the color I needed to meet my crunch goal.
-
Here’s my recipe:
1 cup of filtered water
1 large banana
1 pear, sliced
2 handfulls of baby spinach
Hint: Blend the fruit with the water first.
1/11 Day 4 - Opps!!
CRUNCH 1- Peppers are a fruit and not a vegetable. It’s because they have seeds. TheGood thing there was a medley of other vegies in the mix.
CRUNCH 2- The crunches are getting easier. It’s a good burn.
1/12 Day 5 - Didn’t start until 4 p.m. Not wise.
Crunched snow peas. Very good.
Crunched 250 and it is getting easier. Who knew?
1/13 Day 6 - One more day
Crunch 1 = Wheat grass in a smoothie Yummmm
Crunch 2 = 250/250 They’re not painful anymore.
1/14 Day 7 - I did it and I lost 6 lbs this week!
Crunch 1 = Parsely is not just for decoration. 
Crunch 2 = 250/250 Hurray!!!
We’re so glad to have you along for the challenge!
Here’s hoping we both make it to next Friday. =)
