    I'm IN for the physical mini challenge (modified) and AM continuing with the 50 daily jumping jacks :bigsmile:

    No way :noway: planning to do the food challenge, LOL, (it's like limiting tv/net time..a no go) :sad:

    Didn't make any resolutions for the new year as I never keep them, this way I don't get mad at myself :wink:

    I was thinking a week starting on Monday.
    17th to 20th

    Optional Physical Mini-Challenge:

    Have done these every day but yesterday. But I do need a day off once in while! LOL!
    Dont know if this will kick me out.

    Optional Food Mini-Challenge:

    I'm doing good with this one... I've been very disciplined on the food front, but there would probably be a slip-up :smile:

    Fine with the push-ups, and as far as resolutions, mine was to start running a bit more this year. I thought I would start slow (30 minute bouts)... so I have given myself the "mini" challenge of running 31 minutes for 31 days in January. Day 21 and I'm still in. Some days I've even "cheated" and run 50/60 minutes :drinker:

    How is everyone else doing with their resolutions?

    That's an awesome running challenge you've got going. I would love to be able to run. I get to tired. Right now healing from an injury, but trying to jog a bit at a time. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! :drinker:

    OMG!! You should be soooo proud of yourself. That is sooooo AWESOME!! :drinker: My sister has been trying to quit and just is having the hardest time. We started with a challenge...for every pound I lost she had to stop one cigarette (she is way to skinny so didn't need to lose anymore). Needless to say I kept losing but she couldn't stop. She has tried all kinds of stuff and nothing works for her. High Five to you girl!! :noway: :smokin:
