    Staying under my carbs is a GREAT focus since I am carb cycling..... Most people on here aren't truly aware of what their carbs should be, everyone is different. But it is such a great thing to focus on. Some excellent carb choices are whole grains(quinoa, whole wheat, brown rice, barley, oatmeal), veggies, legumes and fruits. Avoid the white stuff though... lacking nutrients and is not used as energy. Anyhow. That was my 2 cents ;)

    This is great! Although you should know that Thursday is a carb load day and WILL be WAY high haha..... Everyother day WILL be great! It WILL! I am determined!!! I am 1.7 lbs from my next goal... which was hoping to shoot for by Sunday!! EEK! :)

    Thanks for these challenges!

    I'm joining in... This one will be super easy for me though... except maybe the carbs....but I'll work that. Push-Ups will be a breeze as I've been working the www.hundredpushup.com challenge. My last workout consisted of 98 push-ups... 143 squats... and 249 crunches (one workout, total between 5 sets). But, that's been about a month ago, and I need to get back to my challenge!

    Good luck everyone!

    I've been doing the www.hundredpushup.com challenge but been doing them modified. Maybe to make this challenge I'll do half my challenge push-ups each day (3 days a week) standard, the other half modified... My last workout consisted of 98 total push-ups between 5 sets...

    Well I started on the pushups, did 10 regular ones and 15 "girly" ones. I usually do them on my knees so I thought I would challenge myself to try and do as many regular ones as I can. Maybe by the end of the week I will be doing all regular ones :happy:
