    Not sure what happened but I was up 1 pound yesterday. I went from 181 to 182. I was at 179 on Friday, just goes to show how much weight can fluctuate.

    My challenge for you this week is to add at least 1 more vegetable and 1 more fruit serving to your daily diet. Most people do not get enough of either so if your goal is to lose weight and get healthy, EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

    Have a great Monday,

    Terri

    I thought of this challenge this morning on the treadmill. I had the tv on and a local fitness person was talking about eating the rainbow. The bigger the color of your veggies and fruit the better it is for you.

    On a totally different note a friend posted the following link on facebook. It is about 10 minutes but I found it very interesting.

    Hope you enjoy. Pass it on if you do!

    @Terri, maybe your weight is 'loose' and after jumping around a bit will finally drop! :wink:
    I will definitely be working at your fruit / veggie challenge. The way I am doing it is by ensuring that I have a fruit / veggie with every meal in a variety of colors. Today, I have already eaten some strawberries and blueberries with breakfast, and some carrot, celery, cauliflower, and mushrooms for snack. I'm having a big salad for lunch with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, yellow peppers, snow peas and tomatoes. Supper is still a question mark but will definitely include more veggies.

    Goal Weight: 154.0

    No worries, I had a ton of sodium today and drank a lot of water to off-set it, so I'm expecting some loss. Today officially started it for me.

    How did you do on eating your fruits and veggies yesterday. I had a one or the other with each meal. I need to really work on getting more fruit and veggies into my diet (are pickles and olive considered veggies?).

    Monday and Tuesday and Friday are my stressful work days. I do home daycare and I have 2 babies under the age of 1 on those days. One of them is a screamer. She does not cry she screams. The only times she is not screaming is if I am sitting on the floor while she plays or holding her and sometimes that is not good enough. The other baby is 6 months old and weighs over 25 pounds. He likes to be carried most the time also. IT makes for long stressful days. I keep telling myself they will outgrow these stages and become fun toddlers.

    I hope everyone has a great day. Time to go to work!

    When I was at the gym yesterday, I weighed myself on the gym scale, which is the official scale on which I need to lose 10 pounds for the "FREE" membership. With the holiday bloating gone, and perhaps some lighter workout clothing compared to my work attire, I am currently down 3.5 pounds. Only 6.5 more to go until end of March! (Preferably more!)
