I am looking forward to do the jumping jacks. Maybe I will do the 100 situps and then do 100 jumping jacks or do it like 25 sit-ups, then 25 jumping jacks until I get to 100.
I only need to get in 2 cups of fruits and 2.5 cups of veggies. Easily done as I get about 1/2 cup of fruit and a cup of veggie in my breakfast smoothie.0 -

Great job Jen! It is also hard for me to eat the fruit!!! I forget to eat it early in the day! I try not to eat fruit past 2 pm, so I need to get it in early! Today I am going to focus on getting some in for breakfast. Have a GREAT weekend!

I am in the middle of chaos as I prepare for an upcoming surgery (October 10th) and numerous appts for myself and son, as well as so many other unexpected things. I intend to keep doing my part in this challenge but won't be able to post daily right now. I will keep track of all of my totals throughout the week and list my totals at the end of the week in one post if that is okay.
***I should be eating 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables every day!***0 -
