Can you believe the end of April is here???? So to celebrate the first third of the year gone by us, let's challenge ourselves, push yourself that extra 5 or 10 minutes, the extra mile,or whatever it takes to make the next weigh in a definate for you! Lets hear from you, what will it be?

I've been biking some lately, I have been avoiding this one hill, not this time, I am going to go up it, even if I have to get off and push!!!

    Way to go tackling the hill. I too sometimes avoid step hills due to feeling I may have to get off and push while my kids zoom right up. I plan to work out a the gym today on my lunch hour. I will add a fun activity with the kids when I get home like bike riding or one of the dancing video games. I will also start back on the 100 push ups program. Short sleeve weather I here and my arms are not ready.

    SOUNDS AWESOME! I am going to push myself to do more walk/jog intervals.... for a longer distance today. Also, I will do some squats and ab work tonight. (My arms are on a break after all the work they got yesterday haha)

    Honestly I really don't want to do anything today, so I guess my challenge will be finding the energy and motivation to get up and get some sort of exercise in.

    I was very tired yesterday. So I decided to rest, drink a lot of water, walk a little, and concentrate on simple household tasks.

    Today I plan to bike 3 miles and be cognizant of 5 servings of fruit/veggies and 8 glasses of water.

    I'll extend my run tonight by 10 minutes, making it 55 minutes. I'll push it to reach 5 miles in that time frame!

    My challenge for today will be to take the stairs in my building throughout the day (except leaving, since I work on 22nd floor!). Our company has floors up to 10 stories above mine, and one below, so I'll make the elevator off limits to myself when running between floors today.

    Okay, my commitment today is to do P90-Chest and Back (or whatever Mondays normal routine is for Week 2) and go to the gym and do 45 minutes of elliptical.

    My challenge today will be to bike for 15 minutes.

    Since I have my stupid splints, I have to go to the gym...so might as well make use of their tools.

    (I have not met a single challenge yet. My first challenge was to run 4 miles in 45 minutes, I did it in 48 minutes. My second challenge was to finish P90 - Plyo that I had not finished the previous day. I couldn't due to shin splints. By golly, dammit I am meeting todays challenge NO MATTER WHAT!!!!)

    Today was going to be my day of rest, because this is the one day of the week where I need to look professional more than sporty. lol After my work day is through though I will challenge myself! I will either run or plank until I cannot anymore! I think the planking is actually harder lol My commitment today tho is to stay under calorie budget. I came this close to binging on pizza and mcdonalds. It was really hard and everyone else was. i did sub comb, but managed to stay under my calorie budget.

    Ok I did it I jogged and did a very short walk, I have to say I feel good that I got off the couch! I am planning on taking the dog for a walk tonight, so I will end up doing even more than I wanted to!

    Great ideas, committment and motivation everyone! I knocked my work-out out early this morning. My son has volleyball practice at the park this evening so my extra challenge will be to walk/jog back and forth to the practice. Might even take the little doggie along for the fun!
