Good Morning All,
I hope everybody had a great week. I did not have a good week and attribute it to eating out too many times all week. I am going to get back on the wagon today.
Monday Mini Challenge:
Food: Stay within your calorie limit and give up one of your favourite foods.
Cardio: Do 125 jumping jacks. See how many you can do without stopping for the first set and then spread out the rest throughout the day.
Strength: Do 150 crunches (3 different kinds). Again see how many you can do in the first set and then spread out the rest throughtout the day.
Water: drink at least 64 ozs today.
Tuesday Mini Challenge.
Food: stay within your calorie limit and make sure you eat at least 3 vegetables and 2 fruits. Close the kitchen at 8 pm.
Cardio: Do 30 minutes brisk walk.
Strength: do 150 squats. The trick today is to see how many you can do in the first set and then spread the remainder throughout the day.
Water: drink at least 64 ozs today.

Tom I have a challenge facing me...it's girls night! which usually means a ton of junk food, drinking, and mindless eating as we gossip and watch movies. Going out to the movies this time so I will eat right before we go and maybe allow some cals for the popcorn, which I am sure is so bad for you...but isn't that what makes it taste so good?0 -
Not so good with snack choices today, I just had a pop tart :blushing: I did some yard work though, I'm redoing a walkway so, I'm getting some heavy lifting in. I'll get more water and some crunches in before bed. @ mommashelli Hope Girls night was a blast! Happy Sunday all!0

Yup, same here.....not really following the challenges as same as you, I have my own workout schedule going on, and the food challenges tend to change every day which isn't so good for me....I prefer trying to stick to a food challenge for a week as I tend to find I'll do worse on Day 1 but will improve and nail it as the week goes on.
So just using the challenge as accountability for the weekly weigh in and so forth. 0 -
Saturday
Food: did great!
Cardio:walked 4 miles.
Strength:only did an extra 30 pushups, got so busy that everything seems hard press to fit in.
Water: water was good.
Did very well at girls night. Ate healthy vegetable filled dinner right before I left so I would stay full. Then I brought sugarless chewing gum to chew during the movie. That kept me from snacking on the buttery popcorn and candy everywhere. I was very impressed with myself.
Though today it's my moms birthday. And I made her a chocolate fudge cake, with homemade peanut butter frosting and have stuff for peanut butter. hot fudge reese butterfingers sundaes. Yep, but I have planed ahead and an making a pudding snack, which is only like 100 cals.0
