Saturday Mini Challenge:
Food- Make sure you are not snacking on bad foods. Keep your snacks healthy. (fruits, vegetables, nuts etc)
Cardio/Strength- Saturday is my house cleaning day and actually burns a fair amount of calories. Move the furniture and give a thorough clean today.
Sunday Mini Challenge:
Food- make sure you are being honest with everything you consume.
Cardio/Strength- we all deserve a day of rest and relaxation so today, take a leisurely walk outside with your children, pet or just yourself and enjoy the world around you.
Just a reminder to make sure that you stretch before and after all exercise and to make sure you are not using weights that are too heavy. Start low and work your way up.
Have a Great Week,

Thanks for the weekly list. I have added each day to my Google calendar so I can try to keep up with each day's cardio. I will do my best. This is looking like a rough week for food though. Gotta eat what we can afford and that's pretty cheap until payday

Just as FYI... Thur is posted twice. Once after Wed (where it belongs), and again after Fri for some reason lol.
I'll post after I do the cardio for each day, if I can... I will try to anyway 0
