    Gonna have to find a way to get some pure strength training in. The Leslie Sansone videos incorporate strength with the walking. Should I count the amount of time it takes to do the video?

    Count me in if its not too late. I have 6kgs to lose before I get out of control. I joined the gym a month ago and have only been 4 times so my challenge is to get back to the gym and start my healthy eating and taking control again.

    It took a while of learning what to/what not to eat. And often one meal completely blows it! :grumble: Way to go though! :drinker:

    This high amount of sodium is what I get for eating at my mother in laws! :grumble: Oh well, LOTS of water today and LOTS of sweating at the gym!

    We went out to this Japenese seafood/sushi buffet for dinner last night so I have no clue as to my sodium intake ((I'm banking on it being over 2,000 though!)). It tasted SO good though! Splurging once in a while is ok, now it's time to get back on track today! I got some new workout shoes last night and can't wait to try them out!

    Any suggestions for next week's challenges? I'm thinking about watching fat intake.....

    OMG, what was I thinking going to Wienerschnitzel! I knew the sodium was high but that was more than 1 day worth of sodium. Then, we had ladies night and that was no help. Oh well, guess I'll be drinking alot of water this week.

    I think fat intake is a good idea. Then maybe carbs. I like these challenges! I think we need to do sodium at least once a month. It seems like almost everyone is having a tough time with that. Exercise, maybe jumping jacks or something that gets your hurt rate up quick.

    Hope Everyone is having a Great Weekend!

    I'd love to join your challenge group! I think a new challenge each week would certainly help to keep me interested and on my toes. Quick little bit about me - I'm Lisa, 30 years old, married and living in Australia. I work full time and also study, and am a total geek. Oh, and I want to lose about 50kg (bit over 100lb) this year, in time for when my husband and I go overseas for Christmas and New Year.

    I'll start with the new challenge on Monday - can't wait!

    UGH! I did NOT do very well with this week's challenge. I never got under 2000mg sodium and barely any strength training. :grumble:

    My calorie intake has been good though.

    Baby steps, baby steps. At least your head was in the right place, and your calorie intake was on point so that's GREAT! Just stick with it, sodium is a tough one to consistently stay under.

    I did ok this week. Over half the days I met my sodium goal and ALMOST met the goal for added strength training. All in all, I'll say it's a success! Ok, I'm going to go post next week's challenge - be back soon to post the link!

    I sucked! I gave up looking at my sodium, did 40 mins of strength. I also ordered a bodymedia last night. I need to get rid of 50 lbs and I don't think my hrm is accurate looking at what other's burn.
