here's challenge1 again if anyone forgot: for four days, track how many calories and make sure you exercise that many calories off so your total intake equals -100 or lower! this challenge starts WED august 26[today] and ends SAT aug 29 soo, basically you have to exercise as many calories off as you ate, plus 100 more :)
my intake so far: 1 cup spinach [7cals] 1/4 tomato [10cals] outtake: 100 sit ups [-10] TOTAL: 7cals.
i'm going to have a plain veggie patty for dinner [90cals] and i'm going to dance rehearsal which is 1 1/2 hrs [-400] hopefully my total for today will be: -303 :)
nothing tastes better than thin feels. absolutely nothing. [1.] [2.] [3.] [4.] [5.] [6.] [7.] [8.] [9.] [10.] REVERSE. ugh. i take one look at that picture and want to never eat again! STAY STRONG.
FRUIT BARS. These are healthy alternatives to popsicles. Various companies put out bars made of fruit juice and/or fruit pulp without added sugar, which you can find in your grocer's freezer. They're usually about 30 to 50 calories each.
ROOT BEER FLOAT. Fill a tumbler about 3/4 of the way with diet root beer, then drop in a 1/4 cup of light vanilla ice cream. It tastes darn close to the "real thing," and it comes in at right about 50 calories.
8 LARGE STRAWBERRIES. If unadulterated strawberries aren't sweet enough for you, cut it back to five and cover them with two teaspoons of confectioner's sugar. Either way, you're looking at only around 45 to 49 calories.
JELLY TOAST. It's not just for breakfast anymore! Toast a slice of bread (preferably whole-grain) and coat with that zero-cal butter substitute we talked about earlier. Spread a teaspoon of your favorite jam or jelly on it. 50 quick calories.
GELATIN DRINK. Get a box of sugar-free gelatin, whatever flavor you please. Prepare the mix as directed, but instead of refrigerating to solidify it, simply drink it. It's surprisingly filling, and only about 10 to 40 calories, depending on the brand.
MEDIUM SIZED PEACH. We're talking about38 calories, plus some fiber and vitamins. And here's a great little variation to just eating it straight: Cut the peach in half and grill it. You'll caramelize the natural sugars, and it tastes dee-lish.
5 MARASCHINO CHERRIES. Give the sundaes to the kids (sob!), and keep the maraschinos for you. They're savory-sweet and five of them add up to just 50 calories.
PUDDING. Get a sugar-free, fat-free pudding mix, and make it with skim milk. You can add a little Splenda if you want it sweeter. There are virtually no calories.
2 LARGE MARSHMELLOWS. If you want to scorch them with a lighter and pretend you're camping, go right ahead. Or eat just one -- coated in chocolate syrup. Either way, you're only sucking in a measly 46 calories.
WATERMELON. One cup of watermelon pieces equals 50 calories, not counting the seeds.
MEDIUM SIZED TOMATO. Slice it up, sprinkle lightly with your favorite seasoning. Refreshing and delicious -- and just 35 calories.
PROPEL. Propel Fitness Water (29 Calories) Sipping a 23-ounce bottle of this fruit-flavored water can stave off a candy binge all afternoon, as well as provide much-needed hydration and a splash of B vitamins.
SWISS MISS FAT FREE HOT COCOA. Swiss Miss Fat Free Hot Cocoa with Calcium (50 Calories) The antioxidant activity in cocoa is even higher than in red wine. Plus, one mug provides as much calcium as a glass of milk.
DOVE DARK CHOCOLATE PROMISE. One Dove Dark Chocolate Promise (42 Calories) Sometimes all you need is a chocolate fix (the dark chocolate is choc-full of antioxidants).
