#BFHolidayChallenge Week Two - Sponsored by Kay's Naturals!

 

 

Ok, week two. Are we ready? Great!

 

But first, a little bit of housekeeping. I'll keep it short.

1. If you'd like to receive reminders via email about the latest challenge and the prize entry deadlines, click this link. It'll subscribe you to an email list that will only be used to remind you about the Challenge.
2. The entry period for week one is open through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, November 30. If you did the week one challenge (to get 30 minutes of exercise five days last week), be sure to get your entries in! On Monday I'll do the prize drawing and three people will win a box of Quest Bars!
3. If you are scratching your head going "What the heck is all of this about???" You might want to read this and then come back to this post.

The Sponsor

 

Ok...now we're ready to move on to week two. As the blog post title says, this week's challenge is sponsored by Kay's Naturals, maker of healthy and filling protein snacks, cereals and more. I've enjoyed Kay's Natural products since I was a NEW-new post-op (the protein pretzels gave me LIFE when the crunchy urge hit) and I still enjoy them today.  To check out their full array of weight-loss surgery friendly, diabetic-friendly and even gluten-free offerings, visit their website!

 

This week, Kay's is putting up THREE prize packs for completing their challenge.

 

The Challenge

 

This week is a tricky week even if you're not a post-op. You've got the Thanksgiving leftovers (keep an eye on Facebook/Twitter this week for ideas on how to remix your leftovers into WLS-friendly yummies!), you've got Christmas goodies starting to surface. I mean...it can be a land mine!

 

One good way to be mindful of what you eat is to log your food.  That's why...

 

During week two of the #BFHolidayChallenge Kay's Naturals challenges YOU to keep a food diary each day this week!

 

Here are some questions I envision you might have:

1. No it does NOT need to be online. If you already have an account with My Fitness Pal, FitDay, LiveStrong or the like, feel free to use it. Or simply keep a notebook where you log your eating. (Heck, keep random pieces of paper. It's really up to you!)
2. "But I joined in late, can I still do it?" Yes. Getting into the habit of journaling your food is always a good thing, so as long as you start this week and continue through the end of the week, it doesn't matter if you started late.
3. "Do I have to report my calories anywhere?" Um. No. But just as I did last week I'll throw up an accountability post on Facebook and Twitter. REMEMBER: The posts on Facebook/Twitter are JUST to  keep you on track and motivated. You still have to report back at the end of the week to enter to win the prize, k?

And, again, you don't have to "sign up" to do this or any of the Holiday Challenges - just do it and report back at the end of the week!

Reporting Back

 

Again, you'll report back this weekend (report back will start Saturday, end Sunday) and THAT is how you enter to win the prize, sponsored by Kay's Naturals. If you want to be reminded via email, sign up here! Otherwise, keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter. I'll be posting reminders when it's time.

 



 Until then, log that food! Good luck, everyone.
