I am new to this group, and thought I'd post a challenge for today as I haven't seen any recently- hope that's okay! :)

For today, let's share 3 things you are working on today that your future self will thank you for-obviously, this will vary for each of us.

Mine are:
I'm going to walk 10,000 steps today (got a new fitbit I'm using)
I packed my lunch today instead of eating out with coworkers
I'm going to drink at least 10 cups of water

Your turn- let's motivate each other! :)

    Use my new NINJA to make a healthy juice with fresh organic veggies every morning. (Screw old-style juicing, omg this thing is so much easier to clean!)
    Try to say no to carbs! (*cries*)
    Hit the gym more often.
    Drink more water.

    Great idea to get us newbies started:
    1.) walk 10,000 steps/day with my fitbit
    2.) track all meals on the diary so I know where I stand each day and can adjust
    3.) drink 64 ounces of water each day

    January Resolutions:
    1. Pack lunch everyday
    2. Eat a little something for breakfast
    3. Make it to Curves at least 3x's a week

    I thought it would be best to start with a smaller time frame than jump into a whole new year. I am hoping that if I do this, I can make new ones each month while keeping the previous ones.
