Hi Everyone,
One of the other groups that I was a part of did weekly challneges every week. The challenges were like drink more water every day of that week, or work out at least 4 times that week, or eat only one dessert that week, or stay at of under your calorie goal every day that week, etc.
These challenges motivated us and was great fun. Would people be interested in that? If so, any ideas/preferences for challenges?

I am! I started MFP today and will try to log everyday this week and stay within my calorie allotment.0

I would go for 4 workouts a week.0

I'm interested in challenges. I'm currently trying to make sure I get in more water, as well as 3 servings of fruit, and at least 3 servings of vegetables each day. I would be interested in a work out challenge if one was offered too.0

I just started 30 day shred today!! Going to try to do it everyday! It's 20 minutes! And definitely lay off sodas! They are my weakness0

Worked out twice this week! Very motivated and it's only Tuesday!0

Wow! That's great! I need to stay on track. I had forgotten we have some plans on both days this weekend, so I really need to try to fit in the workouts in the weekdays, which can be a challenge....but I'm going to try my best!!

I know the weekend is hard!!! I don't like to exercise in front of my husband! Cause I feel like a dork. And he is home on the weekends!0

I haven't ever heard of that work out! I will have to look into that! Enjoy your run!0 -
Yeah, I hate working out in front of my husband too.....I go to the basement (where our treadmill is) and tell him and my kid to stay away until I'm done...:-P.... this is why I can't ever do exercise videos...lol....0

I hit my three times a week this week! Off to a good start!0

My nerdfitness workout can be found at nerdfitness.com. LOVE THAT SITE. I do those workouts in between run days.

I have worked out twice this week so far.0

I'm about to hit the treadmill so that will make it twice this week.0

Even though the water was chilly at the outdoor pool at our apartment (I live in New England), I went swimming this evening. Fun family time + Exercise = Total Win!0

Didn't get my 4 miler yesterday. Had a brake/tire issue with my car so I couldn't do anything until after my boyfriend could take a look. Turned out to be something minor, but by the time he was done, it was getting dark. Hoping to make that up today. NerdFitness on Friday. I have a 5K on Saturday, so I KNOW I'll run that day. 8 miler planned for Sunday. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
It's really hot and humid here in northwest Georgia so I have to run really early or really late. I get up at 430 every morning for work, so I just can't feel a 300am run.0 -
That's great ladies! Swimming in cold water, 5k....that's awesome.
I love swimming. I had started running, was on week 6 of couch to 5k when I developed severe knee pain and swelling. Went to the doc and it turned out I have early onset arthritis (I'm only 36 ... yeah that's not young, but it's too young to have arthritis).
He banned running for life. I can still walk, bike and swim. I just walk now because we have a treadmill at home so it's easier. I would love to swim, but the closest pool is about 15-20 minutes away, so I will be using up 40 minutes just to get to and back from the pool. With a full time job and a 3 year old, that a challenge. Maybe next year. I'm seriously thinking of investing in a bike this summer though. Let's see.
In the mean time, I have walked twice this week. Plan to walk tomorrow and again once on the weekend.

I jumped on the trampoline last night and walked with my kids around the neighborhood this morning.0

I did my third workout this week using a FitnessBlender video. It was really fun and challenging.0
-
did one hour of volleyball Tuesday night & elliptical for 30 minutes Wednesday and Thursday. One to go! Lots of running around to do on the weekend so I'll try to squeeze it in after work so I don't miss it.0

I did day five of 30 day shred level 1 today! And pushed mowed the lawn! Nothing better than sun and workout!0

I wish I could get my disc for 30- Day Shred to work in the XBox. I have no idea what's wrong with it. Ran my 5K this morning. Won 1st place for my age division with a time of 27:18. I feel pretty good about that time. It's not a personal best, but I am bouncing back nicely from a pretty messed up year.0

Couldn't you find an activity/workout you can do together. Maybe hiking, running I am sure there would something.

I've been battling a cold the past week and my bike is broke, will have to visit YouTube for inspiration or start walking with my husband.0

Great work everyone!!
How about getting 3 servings of veggies/fruits every day for this week's challenge? Or do people want to do something else?0
