    Eating more vegetables was a great challenge for yesterday and I had the best of intentions, but ...I skipped dinner (actually had popcorn at the movie theatre) so I ate less vegetables than usual instead of more. :ohwell: I'll take on Tuesday's challenge today since it is such a great idea.

    I just signed up for a 5Km race in 2 months. I'm so excited as I love the energy a group of healthy runners have on race day.

    Thanks for the idea

    Hi all!
    I missed today's challenge - i did barbell class and took it easy because I hadn't been in a while. But I am in for the rest of the week!
    Tuesday - I plan to weigh in (with my fingers crossed). Since my initial weight began Friday last week, I'm hoping for a 1lb loss. And I will move during commercials. However, if I watch TV, its usually on DVR and I fast-forward, but I'll make myself get some sit-ups in
    Wed. - Thanks you so much for this motivation. I have been wanting to try Hot Yoga at my gym, but always chicken out and do the same classes I always do (like cycle or step). Not Wed. - I'm going to do Hot Yoga!

    I will try to check in on Wed. or Thur. about the rest of the week.
    Thanks again!

    kpie11......welcome aboard....I have only been here 1 week on the FAB FOUR....It's helped me not to have to post mess ups so that helps me to pass up certain foods and drinks. GOOD LUCK:flowerforyou:
