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). Lets keep this rolling!

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

FITNESS CHALLENGE:
This week we are going to travel 20 miles through exercise (walking, jogging, elliptical, swimming, etc.)

We’re going to need to stay hydrated with all the traveling this week. So, the goal is to drink 80 ozs of water a day.

    I don't have any equipment either. Walking is great! That's my plan. Or, if you have a pedometer, you could track your steps chasing the kids, and then calculate how far you traveled. :bigsmile:

    Welcome Hessond! :flowerforyou:

    Marybeth- You are doing your best and that's all that matters. 1.5 miles is a great start for the week. Keep up the good work!

    Well, I didnt plan it but Monday ended up being a rest day for me. I was tired! This morning I looked at my exercise log and realized I've worked out 9 days in a row. :noway: So, I guess it's a good thing I listened to my body and took that rest day. Im feeling good this morning so it's time to burn some calories and get some miles under my belt. :smile:
