Good Day All,
I hope you had a great week. I can not tell you how great it is to be back with all of you. You are all truly an inspiration and wonderful support for me on my journey. Thank you very much for that.
I am feeling like I am saying the same thing over and over again so I am going to do a general Food and Cardio challenge and the thing that will change daily is the strength. I want everyone to push the limit but not to the extreme where you hurt yourself. What I post may be huge numbers for some and may be a piece of cake for others so I want you to do at your level and then maybe one step further.
The Food Challenge for the Week is to stay within your calorie limit, kitchen closes at 9 pm, try to limit sodium intake, and watch the amount of processed carbohydrates...
The cardio challenge is to do 30-60 minutes of increased heart rate activity at least 3-5 times this week.
The water challenge is to drink at least 8 (10oz) glasses of water.
Monday Mini Challenge:
Do 150 crunches of some kind. I was reading an article this weekend that stated just by tightening your abdominal muscles when sitting or standing at your desk is considered a crunch. Le's try some of them.
Tuesday Mini Challenge:
Do 100 squats. Every time you visit the little girls/boys room do 10 squats.
Wednesday Mini Challenge:
Do 100 pushups at your level. This may be wall, knee, regular or even one-handed
Thursday Mini Challenge:
Do 200 calf raises. For a little more difficulty, hang your heal off a step or add some hand weights.
Friday Mini Challenge:
Do 100 overhead tricep extensions with 3-5 lb weights. Do one hand at a time or both together.
Saturday Mini Challenge:
Do extra crunches, squats, pushups, etc on whatever part you think needs work.
Sunday Mini Challenge:
Take a leisurely walk in the park with somebody you love.
This will be posted to the homepage and if you want to let everybody know how many of each you did, please feel free to post.
Have a great week.
