Okay now I am not a type 2 diabetic or pre-diabetic but I know enough people who are diabetic that I decide to do this challenge to try to motivate them! This challenge starts off pretty simple. Here are the things you need to do
(first you have to sign-up for a SparkPeople Membership-it's FREE)
Week 1 Action Plan
- Set your goals. Tell us why you're here and what you hope to accomplish. Consider taking a "before" photos that you can post on your SparkPage or in the Team Photos section.
- Start your workout plan. Follow a 15-minute workout video three times this week to build lean muscle to fire up your metabolism, and plan for a 10-minute cardio (aerobic) workout any three days of the week to burn extra calories and fat while strengthening your heart. Learn more about exercising safely with diabetes.
- Track your food at least 3 days this week.. Food tracking helps with weight loss, but it's also essential for people with diabetes, as it can help you manage your carbohydrate intake and therefore your blood sugar levels. Using your Nutrition Tracker regularly will help you stay accountable and learn how to make the best food choices!
- Learn how to earn your trophy. By completing these action steps and tracking your goals each week on your SparkTeam page, you'll be eligible for a special SparkTrophy at the end of the month. In addition, we're giving away special prizes each week, as well as several grand prizes every 3 months to help you stay motivated! See official rules and prizes.
