Exercise challenge: Our goal this week is to burn 600 calories a day (or more) for 5 days and 300 for the other 2 (3600 calories for the week) . You may do this with any exercise or group of exercises you like. If you need to modify this to do less of a burn or more of a burn do it!
Make it work for you!!


Non exercise challenge: Try incorporating at least one of these into your days.

Drink a glass of water before every meal.
Eliminate fast food and fried foods.
Don’t eat carbs after lunch.
Eat protein with every meal.
Consume apples and berries every day.

    4667 calories burned this week ! My big calorie burner this week was shoveling snow, we've had 3 snow storms in the past week, and I have a long, wide driveway.

    Also, I consumed no fast food, no fried food, protein every meal, however I did treat myself to a glass of wine with dinner a couple times, and also has 3 small chocolate bars (the one bite size). Overall, it was a good week

    wow you all have full respect from me.
    Getting up in 400 - 500 calories burned is a lot for me.
    Getting up in 600 a day I just did when being on vecation and having all day to use.

    When it comes to non exercise Challenge I have done better though
    Water before each meal all days, no fast Food, carrots, orange or clementine each day (in stead of apple), and there have been protein in all my meals :)

    Good Job!! As long as you feel you were challenging yourself to get off the couch you were doing well. Some people do nothing at all. So go you!!
