I am proud to report that my first challenge was an awesome success!! All my peeps (listed below) did AWSOME! I can’t tell you guys how much it helped me to do my mile every day. Before this I had not been exercising at all. I would not have done this everyday if it was not for you guys and this challenge.

Ok! So it is time for a new challenge! This one will have more to it and hopefully be fun and motivational! So we all have a calorie goal and we try to stick to it. So that is the first part. EAT YOUR CALORIES! Next you have to log your exercise and you have to EAT YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES as well…we can allow a 100 calorie window (on exercise calories only!) if you want cause if you are like me you wonder if what the database says you burn is what you actually burn! So if you feel it might be off then you can eat ALL BUT up to 100 of your exercise calories back. Next is the water challenge. This time being the first, we will just go with the recommended 8 cups a day minimum. DRINK YOUR 8 CUPS AND LOG THEM SO WE KNOW! Now for the exercise…last week we were required to walk/jog/run (whatever your level is) for 1 mile all at one time, everyday. So 1 mile, everyday, for 7 days=7miles. This week, let’s change to minutes instead of distance. Most of you said you could do a mile anywhere from 15-20 minutes. So let’s say GO AS FAR AS YOU CAN IN 30 MINUTES EACH DAY. So whether you can run, jog or just walk it, go as far as you can in 30 minutes! Try and push yourself a little to. See just how far you can really go when you stop just getting by and push yourself a little. Get that heart rate up! After you do all this each day COMMENT HERE EVERYDAY so we know what you did! You must comment everyday. If you miss one day, in your next days post include the one you missed as well.
NOTE: IF YOU MISS MORE THAN 2 DAYS CHECKING IN (in a row) YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CHALLENGE. This is because the whole purpose of the challenge is not only to get you moving but mostly to hold others accountable and motivate them to do theirs every day! Ok I think that is enough for this week, so let me summarize below:
1- EAT YOUR CALORIES!
2- EAT YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES (can allow a 100 cal widow)
3- DRINK YOUR 8 CUPS AND LOG THEM SO WE KNOW!
4- WALK/JOG/RUN (whatever your level) AS FAR AS YOU CAN IN 30 MINUTES EACH DAY.
5- POST HERE AT THE END OF EVERY DAY!
Ready, set, GO! Post here saying you are in and I will put you on the list. You have today and tomorrow ONLY (10-26 and 10-27) to jump in for this week, if you miss it then try to catch us next week! All my peeps that were with me last week, let me know if you are in for this week as well We start Thursday, 10-27-11 so that will be your first check in.
