Question, is it okay to have a meal shake (chocolate flavored) its low in calories and I mix it with chocolate flavored almond milk? I sometimes have this after my early morning workout.

hmmm… i’m gonna try this although you’re on day 4 already and i’ve already cheated 3 of the 4 days, lol. but since your uncle will be on a trip for 21 days it will be a good time for me to try it.

I suppose apple juice is a better choice than other things. But sports drinks (like Powerade or Gatorade) are also fine. Vitamin water is okay too if you need a sweeter flavor. The idea is to DRINK as little calories as possible.

Yes, holidays are tough to work around, but this is basically the only holiday in this 21 days, so hopefully it’s not too bad. Plus, today I give you a little “leeway” for the holiday weekend – see new Challenge blog post.

Well day three and still doing fine. The hardest thing so far has been not having that snack or soda while heading to field after work. Gotta go and get them Wheat Thins, and hows 100% apple juice?
Three day weekend and we are going camping. Now this is gonna be rough. No snacks, no soda, NO BEER! Sheesh. wish me luck.

Darina: good point about the alcohol. lol I was actually creating this list for softball players who aren’t legally allowed to drink alcohol, but for the parents, coaches, and fans that want to join the challenge, alcohol is definitely on the Do NOT Drink/Eat list.

Lauryn: You’re right, your sugary cereals should be limited as well. We try to eat only whole grain cereals!

Ruchu: your protein bars are fine! Do check the fat content though and choose bars with lower total and saturated fat.

Ok i’m in. I’m worried about my cereals and pop. I know it doesn’t say cereal but my cereals are the sugary ones.

I am definitely in! I will do my best. My only concern is whether or not protein bars are acceptable (they are chocolate-flavored and I believe have some form of chocolate in them). I am a vegetarian and it’s difficult to get protein on the go. Nonetheless, I hope to improve my athletic performance by eating better.
