Warm-Up!

Hi Ladies,

As a warm-up to starting the Challenge on Monday, we'd like to ask you to keep track of what you "normally" eat over these next few days. Try to pick at least 3 of the next 4 days (Thursday- Sunday) and write down what you eat and drink for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. This will be good practice for keeping your food log while on the Challenge and also will give us an idea of what you normally consume compared to what you will be eating as part of our plan.

I know you all have computers so please type these into the computer at some point, even if you want to keep track with pen and paper initially,  and email them to: healthychasers@gmail.com.

Also, don't forget to get your starting weights (and heights) in to us by Sunday so we can calculate your starting Body Mass Index and prepare your individualized goals.

I will be working on some minor modifications to the diet which I hope to make available to everyone who has emailed initiating their participation by Saturday morning at the latest. This will give you a chance to do some grocery shopping to make sure you have what you need to kick start the challenge first thing  Monday morning. Also, you might want to look for measuring cups and spoons if you don't already have them and a small kitchen scale. Can you tell that we will be measuring and weighing our food so that we eat the correct portions?


I know this might sound like a lot to handle all at once, but don't be scared. We'll take things one at a time and walk through everything we do - TOGETHER! Feel free to post questions and comments or send an email either to this account or to me: eolear@gmail.com.

Yours in good health,
Elizabeth
