Weight Loss Challenge:
Week 1-Hydration Nation (drink 64oz of water a day) 
Week 2-Sweet Tooth Cured (No sweets) 
Week 3-Bust a Move (workout for at least 30 minutes every day)
Week 4-On the Wagon (NO Alcohol!) 
Week 5-Clean it up--Clean eating. (No processed foods at all) 

Some Basics for Clean Eating: 
1. Eat LOTS of plants.  Eat food straight from nature.  Think about plants coming from a vine, bush, tree, plant, etc.  Stay away from fruits/veggies that could have been altered by a human. 
2. Include meats.  Eat meats that are whole and from the butcher.  You'd be surprised what they put into pre-packaged meat products.  
3. Enjoy grains. Eat grains that are complete and that haven't been broken down.  Stick to brown rice, quinoa, barley, millet, farro, oats (steel-cut).  
4. Read labels. Just because it says whole grain, it doesn't mean that is always the main ingredient.  READ!!! 
5. Eat fewer ingredients.Try not to purchase foods that have more than 3-6 ingredients in the ingredient list. And be sure you recognize each and every ingredient. 
6. Eat 5-6 small meals per day.  It seems like a lot at first, but remember they are smaller portions. An easy way to start this is to make your normal 3 meals and a snack and then split the meals in half.  Instant 6 meals. 

Report your weight and infractions on Monday.  One more week of healthy habits that hopefully will stick beyond our challenge.  You ladies are awesome and so inspiring! Stay tuned for a SURPRISE this week! 

Tabata Fundraiser for Phinneus was awesome this last Saturday!  10 showed up and we raised $340!  Donated it through the Talbert Foundation and they matched our donation, so a total of $680!!! Thanks ladies for coming out for an awesome workout and for supporting this local boy.  You guys are awesome in SOOO many ways!
