FINAL WEEK: Question of the Week


What is at least 1 thing you will do to
stay on track after the challenge is over? 
It's not worth working this hard only to un-do all your efforts, right?

    I will continue to track my portions, make sure I work out 5 days a week, continue running, look for healthy recipes, stay hydrated and start signing up for races to give me that motivation and something to work toward.

    Thank you, this has been awesome!! And my team? Incredible!!

    I think the water has made the biggest difference for me. I'll keep that for sure.

    Keep 2-3 WODs a day to lean out and tighten up :0).

      Ok on top of what I said. I would also limit the treats, stick with the 100% whole wheat and multigrain and keep my fridge stocked with veggies and fruit. It was a big chalkenge but the no starch after lunch I could work on more.

    I agree with Warner, drinking more water!!!

    Mine is the late night sweet treats! I think those extra calories that I've been cutting out in the evening have really made a difference. Going to stick with a two treat limit for the week.

    Larry: I will keep drinking the water and try to consume only whole grains. Definitely limit my carb intake after noon.

    Ahhh...that is a good question, since after the first nutrafit challenge i made all this progress, only to blow most of that hard work by going crazy on the sweets after it was over! I have been thinking about how I could do things different this time. Since I do most of the things anyway that were in the challenge, I have noticed the two things that were different that got me results were limiting sweets and all the daily exercise. I am going to step up my working out time, but not sure how I am going to find the willpower to cut out the sweets.

    I think limiting my sweets! I feel the exact same way as Dianne. But when I do limit sweets, I feel so much better.

    I have loved this challenge! I personally am going to keep up with the water, 5 fruits and veggies a day (which I wasn't before), optimize in 30-45. I also want to put in more time at the gym than a one hour class. Add in more running and work on those stupid ring dips!:)

    The water and not eating after 9pm was the key in the first challenge and maintaining it after and in the second challenge. Also for me personally, thinking of wine as a treat and not something that just goes with dinner has helped me reach my goal! Thanks Miki!

    I loved the additional work outs, maybe not quite as many but definitely more. Also the additional water was a plus, looking into buying stock in smart water,haha

    Limiting my Diet Coke consumption and continue with the water; limit treats - I've learned a lot about asking myself the question "is it worth it?" when I only get two a week! I've started substituting whole grains for my family whenever possible and Scott and I discovered we love plain baked sweet potatoes. Mostly I'd like to continue talking to my team everyday because those ladies are amazing!!!

    I plan on keeping the water intake and cutting back on carbs after lunch. I love talking with my team everyday.

    Water and my fruits and veggies. My body now craves water runs from maverik instead of soda. :)

    Not eating after 9:00 p.m. and limiting carbs after lunch. I will also spend more time exercising because now I know what fitting a few extra minutes in can do for your overall fitness level.

    Dr. Steve: I see no reason to ever eat white flour products ever again. That's what I'll be taking away from this six weeks of torture (self inflicted mind you).

    I am becoming a bit addicted to the multiple wods a day. I know that limiting my sugar and no eating past 9 has made a world of difference for me.

    Definitely the increased water intake, veggies and fruits. Oh, and the weekly 5K's. ;-)

    The extra workouts are a little addicting. I also like the no carbs after lunch.

    Keeping soda under control. Drink more water. Keep exercising. Limit my carbs. Optimize after a workout. I hope I made some big improvements!

    That's a tough one honestly. For me, I have always gotten enough exercise, unfortunately I have found I can't outrun my mouth. I'm not one to do Paleo... sorry, I like Pasta and absolutely LOVE dairy!! I joined this thinking there'd be more of a focus on the eatting side of things versus the exercise side. I have found that I can make it from breakfast to supper (even a late supper) on just my bowl of tuna fish and some fruits and veggies. I will likely continue that. I also used the water/milk fasting to break my diet soda addiction. I will not treat soda as a treat instead of something consumed on a daily basis.... now if only I could stop drinking 2 - 3 gallons of milk a week (told you I loved dairy *blushes*)...

    I've lost a lot of weight before (Weight Watchers, about 70 lbs in 6 - 8 months) but I lost strength too. This time I am trying to maintain my strength (CrossFit) and energy (Ultimate Frisbee) while still losing weight. I figure a lot of protein (recovery drinks) with more fruits and veggies (really, less McDonalds burgers and fried food!!) should allow me to do that. I'll lose a pound or two a week instead of the 4 - 5 I did on WW... but hopefully I'll gain strength and still function a high level week after week.

    Hopefully there's an answer somewhere in this essay.

      Stay tuned Nathan. The next NutriFit is still in the brainstorming phase, but I was thinking along those same lines...having there be more of an emphasis on nutrition...more detail, more hands on, etc. I'll let you know more info when I have it.

    The things I struggled keeping up with after the last nutrifit were my water, the eating after 9, and the no carbs after lunch. This time, I am going to work very hard at those 3 things.

    No starch after lunch, eating every 3 to 4 hours, and including protein each time I eat (this one is from the first Nutrifit challenge).

    I have been pretty good with the no starch after lunch. I think it has helped diminish some of my muffin top and I will keep it up!!

    I would like to try to continue to keep a food journal and also mix in a run or two more frequently. Ty
