Weekly fitness challenge: making time to get up and stay active is important. I am stuck at a desk most of the day, but breaks to get up, stretch and move are important. Twice a day, choose 2 items from the list below and do them during a quick stretching break.
- 15 jumping jacks
- 2 minute walk/jog in place
- 15 sit ups
- 15 squats
- 10 mountain climbers
- 10 push ups
- 10 lunges
- 10-15 reps of your favorite move.
Do meals include snacks for the nutrition challenge? If so, I can do 2 meals a day for the nutrition challenge.
Can you pick two different move everyday for the fitness challenge?
Sure I count snacks as meals too.
On the fitness challenge, feel free to mix it up. I like to do different ones depending on what my goal areas are for the day.
Thank you
I'm in a challenge with some girls at work and just want to keep everything straight.0 -
Found a new snack tonight. Fresh, raw,cold green beans.2

Once I got past that, I was ok. I finished in 49 minutes. I will work on decreasing that time before my actual 5K run.
I ran 3.1 miles again yesterday and finished in 47 minutes. Yay me!! I shaved off 2 minutes

1. Get an EARLY workout in~~~~
2. Limit going out to eat NO MORE than 3 days a week~~~~
3. Plan each Sunday to attend one exercise class for the current week~~~~
4. At least 5 days get an evening walk in~~~~~
Today's goals
1. Meet my calorie goal
2. Get an morning run in
3. Meet protein goal
4. NOOOO late night snacking1 -
Sorry for not losing much weight lately. Went to Drs today he doing a bunch of lab to make sure it's not my thyroid or other vitamin/mineral deficiency.0

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
