Know Your Serving Sizes

Each day, you get a total of 10 servings of the food you love, but the key is portion size. Here’s your guide:
Proteins and Fats 4 Servings
1 serving of chicken = 1 breast (skinless)
1 serving of meat and fish = no larger than the palm of your hand
1 serving of beans = 1 cup 
1 serving of cheese = the size of 2 dice
1 serving of olive oil = the size of a poker chip

Complex Carbohydrates 3 Servings
1 serving of spaghetti = the diameter of a quarter (measure dry)
1 serving of grains (like cous cous, rice and quinoa) = 1/2 cup uncooked; 1 cup cooked

Fruit 3 Servings
Whole fruits = the size of 1 scoop of ice cream
Berries = 1 cup

Vegetables Unlimited Servings
You should never be hungry during the Just 10 Challenge. Fill up on the fiber and nutrients found in your favorite vegetables.

Additionally, you can have dessert every other day. However, that dessert can be no bigger than the size of your hand.

tiny-miss-k:

Okay-so about a year ago I was snooping around online looking for a Britney Spears-ish workout. Apparently this is her exact workout routine she followed when she was in her “prime” (I’m guessing the early 2000’s). I love it…but it takes me forever because I’m so out of shape, but after you…

last minute sessions.
  • 50 Squats
  • 50 Push ups (on the wall, on your knees or straight leg)
  • 3 – 5 sets of 60-second plank
  • 50 sit ups (not crunches)
  • Stretch session with a five-minute meditation
Do this three times a week as you sit around watching your favorite television show. When starting out, break up the task in to smaller sets like 5 reps of 10 squats, 10 push ups, 1 plank and 10 sit ups then repeat. This way it doesn’t seem so daunting. If you have the time, I recommend you take up a fitness routine but if you absolutely cannot find any time, then do this at home. It’s better to move a little than not move at all.
