Yeah, were into week two!

Make sure Monday morning everyone updates their weight, wether it be good or bad, it is a good reminder and why we are all here :)

Now for week two's challenges. As with week one you can choose any order you want to do the challenges in:

Challenge one: Try to stretch for at least 15 minutes, try to hold each stretch for 30 to 60 seconds. The following link will help give you some ideas on what to stretch and how to stretch it. http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/rehabilitation-exercises/stretching-exercises
Challenge two: 10 rounds of 1 minute punches http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/arms/exercises/7-move-firm-arms-workout/?page=8
Challenge three: 100 round house kicks per side with the punch http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/butt/exercises/15-minute-butt-thighs-workout/?page=2 and 300 seconds of a wall squat or holding a squat http://backandneck.about.com/od/deskexercises/ht/wallsquat.htm
Challenge four: 50 prisoner get ups http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/12/28/prisoner-get-up-exercise/
Challenge five: Do 1 hour of cardio any kind of cardio but it has to be one solid hour

Food Challenges:
Challenge one: Pick one day where you can have no fast food
Challenge two: One day with one 1 treat i.e. one cookie or one donut but that is it
Challenge three: One day try to pre-plan your food/fill out your food diary ahead of time and only eat the food on your diary (please try to fill it out so your calories are very close if not a little over your calorie goal)
Challenge four: Drink over 10 glasses of water
Challenge five: Choice one meal that you would normally have a quick bite to eat aka something already premade and have a meal you made your self

    Challenge 5 would be choose a meal that you would normally run to the store and grab a quick premade salad or premade meal from the store instead of doing that make the salad from hand instead of getting a salad in a bag. Or instead of getting premade hamburgers make them from scratch

    I'm having a (sort of) home made curry for dinner tonight - made with curry sauce from a jar. Will this count for this challenge, even though it's not from a take away?

    Woo hoo - in that case first couple of food challenges complete! Pre - completed diary, except for actually marking it as complete as I don't know how much water I'm going to get through (and I don't know if hubbie is going to cook something different).
