String Project Week 20 Goal

The String Project

Week 19 Recap:

For week 19 goal (7/14 - 7/20), represented by my dark purple string:

-Drink 2 smoothies a daySUCCEEDED!

It wasn’t difficult at all, considering I already love smoothies! The only hassle was actually making the smoothies and cleaning up afterward… but hey, a cold fresh fruit smoothie is worth it! 

One new thing that I learned about myself from this challenge was that I surprisingly really really like tomatoes! When I run out of fruits to make smoothies or when I don’t want to work with my blender, I’d chop a big tomato, put the slices in a cup, and stab that with a fork until it becomes little chunks. &I eat that just as is.  I call that a “lazy smoothie” lol. It tastes so raw and refreshing; I like it as an after-meal snack/dessert xD

For week 20 goal (7/21 - 7/27), represented by my black string, I am doing another SUPER CHALLENGE, which means:

-Avoid all dairy products (beige string)

-No cereal (bright pink string)

-Drink 2 smoothies a day (dark purple string)

-Eat with no distractions (new additional goal - black string)

I’m not gonna lie, this week will be difficult. No dairy means no ice cream, no yogurt, no pizza, no baked goods. No cereal means goodbye to my favorite food. Along with these goals, I also have a small side goal of limiting myself to only 1 serving of 1 “bad food” per day. That pretty much means I’m going to be living off of fruits and smoothies as my snacks. At the moment, I’m practically eating 2+ bananas, 1+ apples, 1+ oranges, 10+ something cherries and plums per day in between my meals. Mama needs to buy new fruits because I’m trying hard not to be bored with that. 

Anyway, I have a brand new additional goal this week that’s associated with the black string. When I eat, I’m just going to eat. No T.V., no iTouch, no reading. With no distractions, I’m hoping to focus on the food and my eating experience only. This will be interesting :)
