    I want to join. I have been trying to keep my sodium down. I don't add any extra to my food but it still is alot at the end of the day. Jumping Jacks is my least favorite thing todo, this challenge will help me to do them.

    Hello everyone!!! :flowerforyou:

    This challenge sounds like a lot of fun!! I am definitely interested however, I just had a partial hysterectomy exactly 1 week ago. My doctor's app't is on Friday. I'm not sure when I will be cleared but, wanted to know if when I am cleared for exercise if I could still participate?

    I have been watching my sodium and reduced it to 1500 in my diary. I have also increased my fiber to 25-30 per day.

    This sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to meet new friends!!!

    Have a wonderful day!!!!

    No clue what my sodium intake should be - I'm just getting started, so I'm not going to overwhelm myself by trying to figure it all out at once :) I know I need to drink more water (which surely will help with the sodium anyway), so I'm going to track that with the jj. I don't OWN a sports bra so these are going to be painful!! augh!
