I would like to join this. I've started the 30 day shred twice now but I can't seem to keep it continuous. My goal for the week is to do it everyday. It's only 30 minutes. I CAN find time for this. Thanks MAK!

1) Do 30 DS lvl 1 every day this week (Starting sun 8/14/11)
Just want to stick with this one for the week since I've had so much trouble with it.

Welcome Cenedria! Good luck on your goal. I know you can do this. Trying to find time in the day is always a goal for me. Feel free to post as little or as much as you would like.

I like the idea of a mini challenge....it sounds more achievable.

So here's mine.

1. Only eat bread once this week (monday to sunday). I used to eat nearly a loaf a day and am on my 3rd week of cutting it out. It was hard at first trying to find replacement food but if I fancy some one day I eat it and it doesn't seem such a chore the rest of the week. This is now nearly a habit so not too much of a hardship.
2. Do 30 day shred everyday. Had the dvd for 3 days and haven't started it yet (with no excuse) but tomorrow (monday) it's going on!

Good luck everyone!

Nyodra

Mini challenges! What a great concept, I've got a couple that have been nagging at me, time to get'er done!

1. Drink a gallon of water everyday!
2. Don't touch my scale at all!

Good luck me and everyone else. We CAN do this!
