Exercise goal- 4 weight lifting/heavy cardio sessions
Wellness goal- take time to relax and enjoy the sunset one evening
Nutritional goal- no sweets or dairy - I need to get back on the wagon. I didn't have any for lent, but then Easter came along. Both make me feel gross and bloated.

Reward for succeeding - Hmm. This is a tough one for me. I always automatically think food reward, and I do not wish to do that this time around. I'm going to say that for every day I am successful I will save one dollar towards a Vera Bradley carry-it-all wristlet. I know it is not a weekly reward, but taking things day by day seems to be more beneficial to me.

I'm looking forward to participating in this group! Anyone from the central Florida area?

    Sigh..... Gone over my calories on my first day of joining this group! Made a nutritionally healthy tea of brown rice with stir fry veg and cashew nuts but my husband and son are trying to put weight ON so I was generous with the olive oil.
    Weighed EVERYTHING and had a small portion but when I put it all in my diary later I had managed to have 850 calories in a small portion!
    Damn olive oil and nuts!
    Still hungry so had a banana and fat free yogurt (healthy) but it has still put me well over. Gutted.

    Exercise: Do Combat each day as scheduled.

    Nutrition: Log everything... the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Wellness: Work on tuning out the negative people at work.

    Reward: Olive Oil Masque for my hair. It's so nice, but a little expensive for the amount you get.


    Good luck everyone!

    Exercise goal: Week 1 of a 30 Day Challenge, treadmill for 20-30 minutes at least 3 mornings
    Nutritional goal: Commit to eating only fruits and vegetables until 1:00pm (as advised by nutritionist), and stay within calorie goal 7 days in a row
    Wellness goal: Enjoy one sunset with my husband, walk on the beach once, and spend 10 minutes of quiet time each day to destress

    Reward: If I accomplish all these goals by the end of the week I'm not sure what my reward will be... I generally do food rewards, too, but I'm trying to move away from them this time around. Maybe I will do an at-home spa day? Teeth whitening, face mask, relaxing bubble bath... Yeah, I think that sounds pretty wonderful! :)

    I'm thinking that if I can stick it out and be successful that my 60 Day Challenge reward will ultimately be a massage and mani/pedi! Woot! :D
