    Good challenge. Looking into why we are doing this might make us more accountable. Good thinking. Something I had to do when I was in WW many years ago was to make a story line showing where I would (want) to be at certain dates. for ex in 4 weeks -5 lbs, birthday (5 Lbs less) and so on. I found that helpful. Maybe if another longer challenge is set after valentines, we could each do something like that.

    Here are my personal challenges

    1) Eat a total 5 fruit & vegetables a day
    2) Exercise 30 minutes a day
    3) Water, water, water
    4) Log all my food
    5) Do the daily mini Challenges

    Let's see how this goes for a week. I have really been lacking in the fruit & veg department. As for 2, 3, & 4 those I can usually get done but for some reason I forget about the daily challenges. I will work harder on trying to get the challenges in starting today.

    My personal goals for this week is to push myself out of my comfort zone while exercising giving it 100% NO modifying...I tend to do so with my not so favorite moves. I will also be adding 3 evening workouts for strength (Sculpt 3/4) on top of my daily exercise.
