Okay ladies ---I've been MIA (like Alice and Jasper in BD2) and really missed my Team Twilight buddies!! :smooched: 
:laugh:
We are heading into Memorial weekend, which usually means BBQs and the 4 F's---food, friends, family and fun. Its a good reason to focus extra this week on our healthy habits.
Our challenge involves staying hydrated (warmer weather) and getting plenty of nutrients from our food plus some exercise fun.
:drinker: H20. 8/8 oz glasses per day
:flowerforyou: Strive for Five / Eating all the Colors of the Rainbow
:huh: Fiber 25 grams per day (you can average it through out the week if needed)
:glasses: Fitness: 90 minutes. A mix of cardio, some stretching, and strength.

Have a great week ladies. Lets finish the month of May with awesome accomplishments.

Thanks, Yvonne! I need some help after a really bad week. Oh, and my wedding anniversary is Memorial Day adjacent- so REALLY need major motivation.
As the weather gets warmer, I have a hard time getting walks in because I have to get up at the crack of dawn to beat the heat.
Looking forward to beating those 4F's.0 -
