Happy belated birthday Zenya! I hope you enjoyed it. The good news is, you could workout in the morning and enjoy everything about your special day.

@debgoomey YOU ROCK! That being said, please listen to you body. There is a difference between not working out because you are being lazy and taking a day off to avoid overtraining. Remember, I have build an extra day into the challenge on purpose so you can either take a full day off, or you can use those 4 points as you need to. I'll be honest, there are sometimes I am feeling really run down, like yesterday, so I only earned 3 points because I was EXHAUSTED to my core and had to tell myself to listen to my body. It is ok to take a break IF you have been really focused and IF you will be back at it the next day.

@econmama see what I wrote to deb. The point is to get establish good habits. I purposely made the workouts 20 minutes so you know that you don't have to go all out everyday, but you get SOME kind of activity in. If you see my exercise log, I have 2 days where I only walked and the rest were much more intense. It is a marathon, not a sprint. PLEASE pace yourselves. You have my permission, even if you won't give it to yourself :-)

That's the name of the game, notice and refocus ;-)
