Hi Everyone,

One of the other groups that I was a part of did weekly challneges every week. The challenges were like drink more water every day of that week, or work out at least 4 times that week, or eat only one dessert that week, or stay at of under your calorie goal every day that week, etc.

These challenges motivated us and was great fun. Would people be interested in that? If so, any ideas/preferences for challenges?

    I'm interested in challenges. I'm currently trying to make sure I get in more water, as well as 3 servings of fruit, and at least 3 servings of vegetables each day. I would be interested in a work out challenge if one was offered too.

    Wow! That's great! I need to stay on track. I had forgotten we have some plans on both days this weekend, so I really need to try to fit in the workouts in the weekdays, which can be a challenge....but I'm going to try my best!!

    I know the weekend is hard!!! I don't like to exercise in front of my husband! Cause I feel like a dork. And he is home on the weekends!

    I woke up early and worked out yesterday. I woke up not feeling well today, so didn't work out this morning, but will be hitting the gym at work on lunch! :smile:

    Even though the water was chilly at the outdoor pool at our apartment (I live in New England), I went swimming this evening. Fun family time + Exercise = Total Win!

    Didn't get my 4 miler yesterday. Had a brake/tire issue with my car so I couldn't do anything until after my boyfriend could take a look. Turned out to be something minor, but by the time he was done, it was getting dark. Hoping to make that up today. NerdFitness on Friday. I have a 5K on Saturday, so I KNOW I'll run that day. 8 miler planned for Sunday. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

    It's really hot and humid here in northwest Georgia so I have to run really early or really late. I get up at 430 every morning for work, so I just can't feel a 300am run.

    That's great ladies! Swimming in cold water, 5k....that's awesome.
    I love swimming. I had started running, was on week 6 of couch to 5k when I developed severe knee pain and swelling. Went to the doc and it turned out I have early onset arthritis (I'm only 36 ... yeah that's not young, but it's too young to have arthritis). :( He banned running for life. I can still walk, bike and swim. I just walk now because we have a treadmill at home so it's easier. I would love to swim, but the closest pool is about 15-20 minutes away, so I will be using up 40 minutes just to get to and back from the pool. With a full time job and a 3 year old, that a challenge. Maybe next year. I'm seriously thinking of investing in a bike this summer though. Let's see.

    In the mean time, I have walked twice this week. Plan to walk tomorrow and again once on the weekend.

    I jumped on the trampoline last night and walked with my kids around the neighborhood this morning.
