Welcome to the weekend!
So by now you should be well into the swing of things and you’ll also know that I like to be nice to you over the weekend so there won’t be anything new added to your daily routine again until Monday.
Day thirteen is exactly the same as day twelve, see below for a reminder of what this involves…
Day Thirteen (Saturday):
1. Out with gluten, processed sugars, sweeteners, alcohol and fizzy drinks
2. Meditate for 10 mins a day (do a guided meditation if you’re new to this)
3. Drink at least 2.5 litres of water a day
4. Do 20 seconds of planking
5. Pick another drawer or cupboard to de-clutter, use the natural vinegar solution (mentioned in day two) as a cleaner rather than any toxic chemicals.
6. Note 20 things you are grateful for in your gratitude pad.
7. Increase the amount of steps or length of time you walk today by 5% from the previous day’s total.
8. Take a daily probiotic
9. Eat 7 fruit or vegetables a day (preferably raw for optimum nutrition) and include flax, chia and hemps seeds into you diet.
10. Make sure you have breakfast within a hour of getting up and don’t skip meals, make sure to eat something (if only something little) every 3-4hrs.
11. Reduce your caffeine intake by 50%, or replace it with green tea.
12. Watch at least one inspirational or motivational video each day.
13. Have at least one smoothie or a juice every day (the choice is yours which one), but make sure it has some veggies in as well as fruit.
14. Swap brown carbohydrates for the white ones.
15. Daily body brush.
16. Get off the bus a stop early or park your car at the wrong side of the car-park to your destination.
17. Replace unhealthy trans fats with coconut or olive oil.
18. Introduce a 10 minute yoga, pilates, tai-chi or Qi Gong routine to three days of your week.
19. Try not to say negative things about yourself, either out loud or in your own head.
20. Introduce some superfoods into your daily diet.
21. Replace normal chocolate with dark, high cocoa concentrated chocolate.
22. Consider switching one of your skin or hair care items to a natural alternative.
Day Fourteen (Sunday):
Today is a rest day. Where possible try to stick to all the food and drink parts of your daily routine, but rest from all the activities today.
Give yourself a massive pat on the back for completing two weeks of the challenge, you’re now half way there!
Well Done!
