Hello Team Big Butt Theory! I believe I am responsible for the challenges this week. This is what I have come up with to try to challenge you into doing different things. Good Luck and have a great week.
Fitness Challenge: The weather is getting nicer here in Northeast PA. Being physically active is not only beneficial for maintaining a healthy weight but may also decrease the chance of colds and flu. When you are exercising outside, you increase your vitamin D levels (made by your body when exposed to the sun) which may be linked to less risk for colds. Exercising moves antibodies & white blood cells through the body more quickly and flushes bacteria out of the lungs. Get outside and get moving! Aim for exercising outside three times this week.
Nutrition Challenge:
Fruity Friday: Your breakfast and lunch should consist of a serving of fruit. If they already do, make it 7-8 servings of fruit for the entire day.
Savory Saturday & Sunday: Treat yourself ONE time on the weekend!
Meatless Monday: Go the whole day without eating any meat. Make sure you check your labels.
Tiny Tuesday: On this day, eat the correct portion sizes, if not a bit smaller. (You should do this everyday, but especially on this day.)
Weightless Wednesday: Weigh yourself, today. It's the middle of the week, and you should base the rest of the week on how you do on this day.
Thirsty Thursday: Drink 8+ glasses of water today. ONLY water. No diet soda, teas, coffee, or anything of the sort.1 -

I love these challenges. I got off work too late to go to the store and missed my fruit for breakfast today and lunch. I ended up having 2 fat free fig newtons here at work for lunch. Not starting off very well for the week. I will have to let it roll off and start over.
I am hoping that it doesn't rain any more today. That will let me go take a 2 mile fast paced walk.1 -
I was also hoping for a nice day for an evening walk. It started off nice but FOR the last couple of hours rain,
. So this evenings workout will have to be at the gym, 0 -
My first official 5K run is tomorrow so I'm won't do cardio of any kind today because I've been hitting it hard all week but I do plan to do a little strength training. I did get all my fruit in today though:)

Hi Everyone,
I was called into work earlier today and had to return home due to not feeling well. I just got home and I'm going to go have a sleep in hopes it does me well.
In the event I don't get the weekly stats posted later this evening I will do it tomorrow morning. In the meantime, if you go into the spreadsheet you will at least see the winning teams.
Sorry

I went for a walk both on Thursday and today. I wound up getting red shoulders today.2

Today, I was also able to get an amazing walk in around this beautiful lake! Hopefully tomorrow night, I'll be able to get a walk in if the weather permits,
1 -
I didn't get to take my walk last night because of rain. Hopefully tomorrow night will be better.
I worked tonight and used today as my Treat day. Before I left tonight I had loaded mashed potatoes. They were wonderful! They did put me over my calories for today but it was worth it. Even though now I am so full.0 -

Fell asleep without posting in this group last night. Sorry. I completed my first 5k race yesterday...Longest 46 minutes of my life!! I came in under my goal of 50 minutes though Lol...I'm dreading that Meatless Monday. I should get a beautiful walk in tonight.
Well...I am officially gonna be a team captain for the May challenge. I'm so excited. Jackie....you're an awesome example of a great leader. I really appreciate you.2 -
@SweeteeBri first and formost congrats on your time, yay, outstanding time! Honey, your time will ONLY get faster because of determination! "I am officially gonna be a team captain for the May challenge. I'm so excited. Jackie....you're an awesome example of a great leader. I really appreciate you."

It was hard to work today because it was and still is beautiful outside. I will get my long walk in this evening and it makes me happy.
Meatless Monday tomorrow. I have stocked up on all sorts of different veggies, bars, and eggs for it. But I am dreading it.0 -
@SweeteeBri Congrats on achieving a personal goal!!
I golfed all day yesterday after Church. It was a beautiful day!! I will golf again after work tonight.
Meatless Monday started out for me with oatmeal with blueberries, honey and cinnamon. Lunch will be a salad and tonight for dinner bean burritos. I don't mind not eating meat. I am not a huge fan of beef. I would normally have chicken in my salad so I will miss that...but it will be fine. Good luck Ladies!0 -

Nutrition challenge for today has went well. Don't think I will get the fitness challenge in for today because of storms though.0

Thought that I would get a small walk around the block in but the rain started again. I did walk around in squares on the porch for 10 min.
