Can a newcomer join in? I'm trying to ramp up my exercise and definitely watching sodium - need to crack down on my diet this week. It would help to have a group to check in with specifically on these items.0

I am already over for sure...but it gives me something to work towards tomorrow...
Personally, I will use the 2500 but that is also an achievement for me.0 -
Trent - By all means join in! I started a thread like this last week and hope to continue, posting new challenges each week. It always helps me to have something immediate to focus on. Every little bit helps!
As for the sodium ---- the daily recommendation is to stay under 2500, so I thought making it 2000 would be challenging! I used to have a big problem with sodium so I have my MFP diary set to 2000, that way if I go over my "goal" I've got a little wiggle room before I exceed the daily recommendation. If nothing else this will help us learn high-sodium foods to avoid! :grumble:0 -

Thanks! I'm in, then. I think 2000 is a great sodium goal - that's what my diary is set to. More and more research is suggesting that everyone would benefit from a lower sodium diet, not just people with high blood pressure, so this is a great challenge topic!

To be honest, the sodium was an estimate and probably not quite that high. Dh's spaghetti sauce used fresh/canned tomatoes and not tomato sauce so it likely didn't have as much sodium. However, it still was probably too high.
Wow, I also missed that we were doing miles and not minutes. Very cool, just didn't realize it. I WILL hit the elliptical tonight. Especially since I'm about to go have some cake.0 -

Ok, IDK why but this sinus infection of mineis getting worse and not better! That coupled with these finals, this is just a hellish week for me. Eating is out of whack (likely not eating enough), and exercise is non-existent. I need to buckle down and study for these finals so I don't blow all the hard work I've done this semester. That said, I'm bowing out of this week's challenge even though I'll remain mindful of my sodium intake. I'll be back to post a challenge for next week (any one have ideas/suggestions of anything they'd like to work on???). Hopefully by then I'll feel more human....:sick:0

Sodium was a little high for me today, but we splurged and had pizza for dinner. It was definitely worth it! :bigsmile:0 -

Hope you get feeling better. Good luck with finals. I've got my last final tomorrow and am ready for a break until next semester starts.
What about a certain number of calories burned? I've had a challenge before to burn current weight * 20 in calories for a week, it was a good challenge. What about water for a challenge? I know with the cold weather I haven't been as good about water as I usually am.0 -

Those are some good ideas...I like the current weight * 20 in calories. That might actually be doable for me. Water is always a good one to get.
Maybe have a certain amount of fruits and veggies per week.
My biggest issue around these times is portion control - we have numerous potlucks and holiday meals. Not sure how to incorporate that.0 -
