Week 5 of Diet Transformation

We have just completed week 4 of our diet transformation.!

How did you do?I didn't do so well. I'm really struggling with trying to stay focused and on track . It was fine most of the week, but I did struggle and did give in too many times this week. We camped over the weekend and that is the hardest time I have with eating. I am hoping to stay more focused this week.

Are you going to http://www.womenshealth.gov/activity/, to log your daily activity?Keeping a journal and logging my information on the fitness tracker is helping me to stay on track and to see where I'm making mistakes or why the scale may be up.

Are you ready for week 5 of the challenge?

Here's what we'll do this week:

Week 5Eat whole foods. This means that you eliminate any processed foods from your diet, such as bread, most salad dressings, almost all cereal, luncheon meats, cheese, anything with preservatives, and most everything served in restaurants. What you can eat are whole foods such as fruit, raw or steamed vegetables, meat (sans any type of sauce), natural grain rice, poached eggs, etc. It shouldn't be terribly hard since your eating habits have been slowly changing. Still, it's a hard week because it will feel like dieting. Try not to cheat, but you may if you find yourself getting ravenous - just keep your blowout to a minimum.
This week will probably be the hardest for most of us. Processed foods are everywhere and those preservatives and high fructose corn syrup is in everything it seems. So, DO YOUR BEST, FORGET THE REST!!!!!!!


This will definatley be the hardest week for me. I will NOT be able to stick to this 100% due to some of the food choices I do have to make with my IBS... but I will try my best to eat as clean as I can.

I do know that we have 2 events over the weekend where my eating will be challenged and I will not be able to stick to this, but I will still try my best. We continue to build off the other weeks and are only cheating one day with treats/eating out/drinking. Don' t forget to throw in some excercise this week as well.

Are you up for this week's challenge? Please join me and feel free to post comments or about your successes or struggles. I would love to help you. I'm going to really try hard this week and try for only the 1 cheat day.I plan to really try hard this week! We can do this!

I'll check in with you within the next week. Good luck!
