Steemit Fitness Challenge Day 2

in #fitness • 8 years ago (edited)

Hi again. Hope you challenged yourself yesterday. Here is today's challenge!

Feel free to add this onto yesterday's challenge but most importantly complete the day's challenge.

Fitness Challenge

Take the stairs. Do you normally take the elevator? Today, challenge yourself to take the stairs. Going up to floor 10? Commit to the stairs for a few floors then add on another flight the next trip. No stairs? Park further away from your destination. Not the front row parking space at the store.

Nutrition Challenge

Have a salad for dinner without dressing.
Try this simple salad:
Cut up butter lettuce from Costco; pre - shredded, bagged, organic carrots; slice a cucumber; add some kalamata olives; sugar plum grape tomatoes; and avocado (whole avo if making it for more than one person/1/4 if for yourself).

Substitute dressing by squeezing lemon over the salad and drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of basalmic vinegar, salt and pepper. The avocado and olives in the salad help fill you up and add flavor so dressing is not needed.

I will be adding a beef patty to my salad for protein. The Organic Beef is from Costco. I make palm size patties and grill them on the grill until dark pink in the inside. Then, place on my salad. It helps fill me up.

If you are on the go and eating out, you can still order a garden salad with olive oil and basalmic vinegar on the side. Add a side of avocado and a side of beef patty, chicken or fish.

Be sure to follow me and check back tomorrow for the next challenge! Remember, taking a few minutes to do these challenges will make you a happier and healthier person. Invest the time and improve your life while Steeming. I am only doing this on Steem because I believe in the platform.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Until tomorrow,
Jodel

    Thanks so much for this inspiring post @liljodel I did my wall squats yesterday and ate shredded broccoli with rice wine vinegar, molasses and salt with my dinner tonight. :)

    It is refreshing to see strong and healthy women in the media. I also try to motivate others to improve themselves and this online community and am glad to see others.

    Do you rock climb or run? I have two separate photographic blog entries with my thoughts, experiences and beginner's information. My most recent post was mostly a subjective reflection of what running means to me. It can be found here: https://steemit.com/fitness/@hmfoucault/running-is-idiotic-if-anyone-goes-out-at-a-suicidal-pace-i-ll-probably-sit-back I would love to hear your thoughts on either of these hobbies of mine and many many more posts about your own fitness regime.

    I had a soup I call "green goop" made of whole tomatillos, sliced bok choy, diced green onions, and shredded spinach simmered in miso, turmeric and a little meatless "chicken" stock. I can eat it alone or top it with steamed dumplings, fish, or fried raisins.

    Truly,
    H
