Sooooo.... how is everyone doing so far?! Thank you so much to those of you who checked in yesterday! If you didn't have a chance to check in, you can today! It helps motivate others when they see your progress... and that's what this is all about! It's OKAY to not nail each one of your goals. From what I saw... you all did the majority of your goals which is HUGE!! I love the fact that I can encourage and try to motivate you all, but you are the ones who are doing the work at home. It leaves it all up to YOU. YOU joined this group for a reason. YOU are reading this because you took that step for accountability. ARE YOU WILLING to make yourself and your goals a priority? If not now, then when? Your health is EVERYTHING. You can have 300 million dollars, but if you don't have your health what good is it?!

    Today I....

    1) Drink lotsa fluids -water & tea DONE!
    2) one hour of cardio per day -elliptical/interval run DONE!
    3) stay under 1300 cals - very close, but NO
    4) check in with challenge groups. DONE!
    5) keep macros in check--stay in the green --NO, my cholesterol and sodium were super high today.

    6) pre-log my week as much as I can. DONE!
    7) Try new strength training exercises daily. Not today, but I will be doing "butt kicks" tomorrow and "bicycles" Friday.

    Not a bad day...but not my best.

    Tomorrow...I hope to flush the sodium with water, stay low in calories, run intervals again after my elliptical session, and eat more protein & fiber.

    Gotta kill this plateau I'm on!!!

    I'm doing pretty good. Today was my birthday so it was a tough day to keep a healthy lifestyle but I did it.excercise 45 minutes at least 4 times a week
    reduce sugar intake - a small piece of cake, my first sweet in a week
    cut back on calorie intake - I was mindful of my choices and didn't eat as much as I would have
    keep a food log - logged my food
    increase water intake - drank over 64/oz water
    reduce soda intake - drank only 2 sodas with only 1 containing caffeine
