    @MissKash-Good Job getting your workout done in the morning!
    @Dee-All that matters is that you do your best when it comes to these challenges. I sent you a PM with some ideas

    Results for today:
    I burned 1087 calories. I went walking this morning but didnt get any jogging done. So, I had to do my jogging/walking intervals this evening.

    Ok, I normally go to bed around 11 or 12. Last night, I went to bed about 10:30, which is a little better than normal.

    FOUR reasons why I am getting and staying healthy:

    1) To grow old with my husband
    2) Be here for my kids
    2) Live an active lifestyle to keep up with my boys
    3) To be happy with the way I look

    This was a good challenge for me today. It's been very busy and easy to make excuses lately.

    Four reasons why I am getting and staying healthy:
    1. To feel strong, not be out of breath, and be able to keep up with everyone important to me
    2. To avoid health complications, including but not limited to an early DEATH.
    3. To feel better in my clothes
    4. So my body matches and can support my confidence. Ha!

    I've been slacking!! How about you guys? I hope you have a better report!

    Saturday 9-24: Drink 80 oz. of water today (Miss Kash and LoveMe445)

    Sunday 9-25: Get moving – and stay moving for at least 50 consecutive minutes today. (MochaMixAz)

    Monday 9-26: Eat no fast food today OR Try a new exercise (loveme445)


    Saturday - I'm working on my 80 oz, and I'm up to 64. Such a good challenge, activity - I obviously need to drink more on a regular basis! I DO feel better!!!

    For tomorrow - I'm not sure what I'm going to do for 50 full minutes at one time. LOL It's likely going to be a walk in the morning before the heat gets going (It's going to be 107 tomorrow!).

    Hope you are well!

    Ok challengers, I have been a major slacker for the past several days. The stretching and 50 min activity did not get done. I got in more than 80 oz of water on Sunday and today. Yet, I didn't do it on Saturday. Also, today I did not eat any fast food. My plan for tomorrow is 50 min activity plus 15 min stretch plus the actual challenge for tomorrow. I will check in tomorrow to let u know how it goes.

    Results for Tuesday 9-27: Try a new food or recipe today (loveme445)
    ~Well, I tried to make Protein Pancakes (found on an MFP thread) but it didnt work out. The pancakes got stuck to the pan and I didnt understand why. Then, I realized that I had put double the amount of greek yogurt and I added bananas. I will try this recipe again when I get more greek yogurt or cottage cheese (without the bananas)

    Here is the link for the recipe:

    Ok challengers, I got in my 50 minute walk and did my stretching with the balance ball and on the floor. I also tried roasted garbanzo beans. They were ok, but I'm not a big fan.

    Ok challengers, I have surprised myself by staying under sodium goal today, but I did it. I'm excited because I'm over on sodium quite a bit. Also, I am under on my carbs today.
