    Hi everyone, heres a mini challenge for the weekend. I challenge you to pick your fav movie and watch it this weekend and in doing so, you must exercise. Jump on your exercise machine, walk in place, do sit ups, whatever it is you want to do, just stay moving through the whole movie. The movie will distract you. I plan to watch "Date Night" one of my favorites of all time and walk on the treadmill the entire time. Good luck everyone.

    They might kick you out of the theater if you go to see a new movie and exercise the whole time. LOL!

    Did the weekend challenge. Great idea and was fun. I watched Dirty Dancing and danced a long with them when they were dancing... I'm sure I looked nothing like them, but it was fun. Since last Monday I have lost 3 pounds! So, I have lost 4 since the beginning of the challenge. I think my originial goal was a bit overly ambitious. I am still going to strive for it and will try to get as close as I can. Keep up the good work everyone!!
