Here we go. Please bare with me.I have never given rules to a bunch of grown women before...but you never know, I may enjoy it.
The reason why there were no specfic rules laid out is b/c I thought we all knew what would be a "challenge" for oursleves.There are a million challenges out there and to tell you the truth, the only one I really know much about is the BFL plan.
So with this being said,here are a few rules that I think are a must, please chime in if there is anything you may want to add.
* Before and After pics are a must (but you don't have to post them yet if you don't want to)
* Before and After measurements and weight are a must
* Eating clean everyday, except for one cheat meal a week
( if you want to use your cheat meal for a few casual drinks
that is up to yourself)
* Drinking as much water as possible (atleast 10 glasses)
* Eating 5-6 mini meals a day (calories being from 200-350)
* Each meal should contain a portion of lean meat/protein and complex carbs.If you are not sure what a portion actually is,you may want to do your research.Portion control will be a very important factor.
* Veggies whenever you can add them,atleast 3 x a day
* Meal replacements such as protein bars and shakes can be used.But you don't want to over do it, there are alot of cals and sugar in most of that stuff.
* Minimal fruit..maybe one or two a day? (thoughts on this are welcome)
* Plan your days food intake.
* Of course sweets,fried foods and alcohol are a no-no,unless used for your cheat meal.
* 5-6 workouts a week
* Atleast 4 cardio and 3 weight workouts
( I would suggest 1 UB , 1 LB, and one full body) Again everyone knows what will suit their schedule.
* Make sure your weights are heavy enough to challenge yourself.
* Switching things up every 3-4 weeks would be a good idea.
* Trying not to eat after 9 would be great or even earlier but I understand some people may not be able to get all of their meals in unless they eat a little later.
As for a prize...I think what we benefit from this is present enough.I would just be happy to challenge myself and know that I can do this.This was just an idea but there is no prize involved.
So, these are a few guidelines that I think are very important.If anyone want to add anything,they are more then welcome.I also know that with these rules...i will see results.
What do you think?
