Workout/Food: 15 Exercises to burn off calories taken by that delicious junk food

If you have ever been on a diet you probably know how hard is to resist a temptation of snacking and having a cheat meals outside the diet plan and especially of those sweet/ salty delicious ones. I am not a chocolate lover but I know people who are and their struggle of giving it up. The same is for bad eating habits, like Cheeseburgers, popcorn with a movie (guilty, guilty guilty), Coca Cola, cocktails during Happy Hours with friends and so on and on. We all have our week point and some foods that is hard to resist especially when you are trying to reach a goal, like loosing weight or improving your eating habits. As I am currently on a super strict diet than I know what I am talking about resisting those food cravings and temptations just to reach my aim even if I don't see it in a mirror yet..

Even it has been a while I am living and eating healthy and clean even I have days when my leg (hand) slips and I eat something I really shouldn't..yes, I am human too! But as long as it is a balance and a cheat meal does not turns into a cheat day or even worse - a week - it is fine to give yourself a break. But have you ever stopped and think what is the consequences of that all delicious, bad food to your body? 

I did! and trust me, this really inspires me every time I am sweating my butt off in a gym. Because burning those bad calories are 10 times harder than taking them up.

Here comes some popular foods and their calories together with exercises you should do to burn them off... Behold!

Challenge: No Junk Food

Yes! you heard me! let's cut out all junk food for 21 days! and YES, i know it is a summer and a big, delicious ice cream is a must! BUT ask yourself, how badly you want to change something in your life and get you in shape! so why not try this!?
Here's what you have to do!

easy, right? :) (originally posted by Stephanie. check her blog here :) )
OH, and I would add also NO ALCOHOL! (waaaayyy too much calories and sugar!)

so on this positive note I accept my no-junk-food challange! to make it more fun, will keep on experimenting and trying to replace junk food with a healthy BUT delicious foods and will share recipes as well! :)
ALSO. to follow up and realize all the snacks I eat per day that shouldn't be there, I made a Junk Food table to follow up my progress. (actually, my brother sent me his table, I just updated it! :) so if want to see how much you are eating between meals and how much kcal that are total, just print it out, put it on the wall in your kitchen or take it with you (like at your workplace, like ai am doing - because that's the place where the temptation is the strongest! :O all meetings and coffee invitations and international sweets..brrrr..tough to resist when a client comes with big box of macarons.but i am trying my best! and this is giving me extra motivation! ) and start tracking your progress. to know how much calories are your snack is worth, I am using calory calculator by My Fitness Pal. really like it because it has also  nutrition facts! check it out here! ! :) included also comment if I worked out or not (to not feel that guilty that I just take calories and not burn them).

last but not least! PRINT IT OUT and put it on your fridge! :)
