Ok everyone sorry I am late with this weeks challenge. I was thinking about this weeks challenge and we will have a fitness challenge and nutritional challenge.


FITNESS CHALLENGE: This week everyone is going to be at their own pace. Give YOURSELF a goal for burning calories this week, ending on Monday. No number is too small:flowerforyou: Check in daily and see if you meet your goal for the week.

NUTRITIONAL CHALLENGE: This week let's plan ahead (if you do so already, keep it up!) Daily post what you will be having for breakfast/lunch/dinner/ If you would like to add snacks also, would be great. I feel if we have a plan, you pick healthier choices.

Have a LOSING week team!:bigsmile:

    I am shooting for a minimum of 1200 (200 calories a day with jog). I know it will be more as I only put in my early morning activity. This doesn't include all I do throughout the day in my school district; haven't kept track of all those calories yet.

    Boy, I just can not get myself motivated to workout this week. What do you all do in that situation? I really know I need to just get up and go but I can think of every excuse not too. I keep saying - tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow. . I just started dieting, limiting calories watching my meals, packing meals and maybe did too much to get started. I did work out 5 out of 7 days of each of the last three weeks.....

    Just do it, cupcake.

    Honestly -we all have days that it sucks and you have to push thru that mentality.

    Do something for 15 minutes and then decide if you want to quit. That's what I do.

    No change can be made without that first step. You will amaze yourself!

    You just have to push yourself to do it!! Yes it is hard but you have to tell yourself no excuse is worth it!! Sometimes I will make threats to myself (lol)...such as if you don't do at least 30 minutes today you will have to do at least an hour tomorrow and that is without a break in between. It's the mental hurdle that we all have to push through but you can do it. I didn't work out 2 days this week because of a pulled muscle. I am gonna make up for it today though. I worked out this morning for 40 minutes and I plan to do something else this evening. I am not gonna put too much stress on my body by overdoing it but I am determined to reach my goal and not even I am going to get in the way of that!!! I wish you the best of luck!!! Maybe you should try a new routine. Check out you tube, they have some great exercise videos on there and that may give you motivation. The 30 day shred is on there from Jillian Michaels. Maybe something new will give you a little boost. Do something nice for yourself after you have exercised a week. I just bought myself a waist belt to use during workouts and that motivated me because I really wanted to wear it. Just a few suggestions. Hope it helps!!
