Challenge #2 - January 3, 2013

Options
Today's challenge is: Do a fiber check during your meals today. Not enough fiber? Add a plant based food to your plate or bowl.

Does anyone know exactly how much fiber should be in our meals? I know what our daily goal is.

Please send me your results by 10pm tonight. Good luck!!

    I was told recently that we should be getting at least 25 grams daily.

    I'd like to challenge each of you to do 3 minutes of skipping today, doesn't have to be all at once or with a rope, as well. :)

    I just finished my workout, so I thought I'd do that before I went in the shower. I was caught by my twelve year old. Apparently, the sight of me skipping around the house is something she'll never want to witness again!!! :) Have a great day, everyone!!

    I think I heard 25mg of fiber as well... and oh my... skipping. x.x I can do it no problems but I can just imagine trying to explain to my boyfriend as my dog is barking like crazy at the mad girl skipping in circles around the house. Will report my completion :D

    Hi Ladies: I had 24 grams of fiber today. I was surprised that it was that low. My lasagna had extra veggies, so I think it might have been more, but I'll keep to what the diary says.
    The skipping was fun, but hard for me!! It really got my heart pumping--great choice!! Looking forward to tomorrow!

    27 grams of fiber! Going to do my skipping after dinner settles. Did some healthy made taco's minus the taco seasonings to prevent sodium over load, sadly, still over (did not know how bad tortilla's were for you in sodium!) but only by a little.

    Hola team! I got in 33g of fiber thanks to kashi go lean crunch. As for the skipping lol that didn't work out. I did about 30 seconds but it was hurting my leg doing that so I stopped. In its place I did jog in place for 5 mins. Idk if that count as an alternative but its what I did :-) happy losing everyone!

    3 minutes of skipping completed.

    I only got 10 of fiber, but that is low for me, it is usually much higher.

    Great job everyone!
