    I'm IN for the physical mini challenge (modified) and AM continuing with the 50 daily jumping jacks :bigsmile:

    No way :noway: planning to do the food challenge, LOL, (it's like limiting tv/net time..a no go) :sad:

    Didn't make any resolutions for the new year as I never keep them, this way I don't get mad at myself :wink:

    17th to 20th

    Optional Physical Mini-Challenge:

    Have done these every day but yesterday. But I do need a day off once in while! LOL!
    Dont know if this will kick me out.

    I'm doing good with this one... I've been very disciplined on the food front, but there would probably be a slip-up :smile:

    Fine with the push-ups, and as far as resolutions, mine was to start running a bit more this year. I thought I would start slow (30 minute bouts)... so I have given myself the "mini" challenge of running 31 minutes for 31 days in January. Day 21 and I'm still in. Some days I've even "cheated" and run 50/60 minutes :drinker:

    How is everyone else doing with their resolutions?

    That's an awesome running challenge you've got going. I would love to be able to run. I get to tired. Right now healing from an injury, but trying to jog a bit at a time. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! :drinker:

    OMG!! You should be soooo proud of yourself. That is sooooo AWESOME!! :drinker: My sister has been trying to quit and just is having the hardest time. We started with a challenge...for every pound I lost she had to stop one cigarette (she is way to skinny so didn't need to lose anymore). Needless to say I kept losing but she couldn't stop. She has tried all kinds of stuff and nothing works for her. High Five to you girl!! :noway: :smokin:
