This thread is one in which a new fitness and dietary challenge is posted each week. We also post our weigh-in numbers for the week on Monday (when the challenges actually start). We're off to a great start for 2011 so let's keep it up! :drinker:

Here are the challenges/format to post for this week: (ANY one can join in at ANY time!)
_________________________________________________________________________________________

FITNESS CHALLENGE:
It is recommended to get in 30 minutes of exercise daily, that equals 210 minutes for the week. Let's aim for at least 210 minutes of exercise throughout the week.

DIETARY CHALLENGE:
Focus on eating more fruits and vegetables (F/V) by meeting a daily goal of 5 servings.

    Ok, please don't judge me based on my lack of engagement in this week's challenges. My sickness came back and I've barely been eating anything, and sadly what I have eaten has been garbage. I've started feeling human again today, so I'm looking forward to some success!

    Good job on what you all have been doing though!
