Move your body, day 12: Roll out those abs

Continue working your core with this modified yet challenging upper body move.

DAY 12 OF 25 Ab rollout Continue working your core with this modified yet challenging upper body move. This version of an ab rollout is great for working your triceps while building upper body and core strength. If you don't have floor sliders, you can use paper plates instead! Duration: 3-5 sets of 10 reps. If this is too intense, start off with a number of sets and reps that work best for you. Instructions: Start on your hands and knees with paper plates or floor sliders under your palms. Slide your hands out, anywhere from 1 to 2 feet, keeping your core engaged. Slide your hands back in toward your body. If you feel your body shaking, it's working! Tomorrow: Two words: Push. Up.

Mindful eating, day 12: Identify positive feelings

Today's challenge: Identify positive feelings around food.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE Identify positive feelings around food. Being aware of the emotions that surface during meals can give you a better understanding of how food affects your mood and why you tend to gravitate towards specific foods when you're feeling a particular way. In today's challenge, we'll be focusing on your positive feelings (or lack thereof) when enjoying a meal. In theory, food should make us feel good, as eating is a pleasurable experience. (For some of us, food may not bring positive feelings for a number of reasons, and that's OK.)  When eating a meal, ask yourself the following questions. As before, jot down your answers: Is this meal surfacing any positive feelings? If so, what are they? What is making you feel good? Is it the food itself, the atmosphere, or the people with whom you're enjoying your meal? This challenge is simply meant to bring more awareness to the feelings that you experience when eating, without judgment, so eating may become a more joyful experience for you.
