Hello everyone, I'm starting a challenge myself this Saturday(7/7), I've been eating a LOT of added salt lately and really too much fat. I've even slipped up once and ate something that contained powdered SOY MILK!!!!! UGHHH!!!! I've been too leanient lately and not being as strict and aware as I should be! My challenge is this:
First and Foremost, absolutely NO ANIMAL products, literally check every label twice if you must!
Get 8-10 hours of sleep EVERY night
Try to play outside everyday for vitamin D
Less than 10% fat calories each day
No added salts (I know, tough one), only those naturally occuring
Strictly: 2 fruit meals and 1 cooked meal
No fried foods, of course
Plenty of water (I aim for 1.5 gallons most days, but some people do less)
I'll be tracking my progress here, so you can follow and keep me on track if you'd like:) Also if anyone wants to join me I'd love the company. Anyone who's joining me can also give me ideas on the vital things I've missed. Thanks everyone! I won't let you all down!

I own the turbofire dvd's but I'm kinda worried about how I'll feel while doing it. Do you feel more tired or hungry? or that you crave salt more cause you sweat out a lot?
I want to do it..... :)
Permalink Reply by Elisa Oras on July 14, 2012 at 5:22pm Yes im doing Insanity. 4 weeks done. I dont like it...i LOVE it! :D actually i dont feel abnormally hungry or anything...but if i think about it...i feel my metabolism is kinda faster now and i want to eat more often. i just eat as much as i feel like, never hungry. i dont feel more tired, but i feel that i sleep better, because of the workout. and i dont crave salt at all. i havent added much salt to my meals alsmost 5 months now (only occasional soy sauce with sushi or smth) i try to eat more greens every day. like bag of baby spinach... and i feel it helps alot with my cravings! :)
Permalink Reply by Ashlee on July 15, 2012 at 9:32am That's great! I'm really considering trying Turbofire again, I know I need to be more active. I think I just might:) & yeah I'm struggling with salt, but yeah maybe if I add more greens it will be better:) I wanna go buy some spinach now, lol!
