    My name is Chrissy and I love Carol. I've never done a challenge before so I figured this is the awesomest way to start.

    My goals are to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day (an area I am seriously doing awful in)
    Track every bite accurately.
    Add an at home workout at least 1 day per week on top of gym days.

    Hi, I'm Linda and I choose Maggie. My goals are to stay within my calorie limit and to eat more protein. Also to do some weight bearing exercise every day, even if only for 10 minutes. Wish me luck!

    Bonus Point Challenge 1: When I am working in the shop, I am taking an exercise break every hour or 2. I'll do squats or other calisthenic style exercises, a 10 or so video workout or 10-15 min of cardio. On the days I do not have to be to the shop I am focusing on getting my workouts done first thing in the morning. I am going to try to use a WD workout while watching each episode. (we go to a friend's house to watch, so I don't know if I will do this every Sunday)

    BPC 2: plan to get it knock out with one of my breaks tomorrow.

    BPC 3: I am choosing the clock jumps, they are great for trail running.

    Hi Team!! My name is Regina and I choose Carol!! My goal is to drink 8 cups of water a day... I don't know why it's so hard for me but I have to force myself to drink water. My other goal is to stay consistent with logging all my food intake.
    Good luck everyone! B)

    Challenge #1. Be like Michonne and tell how you are going to fit in your habits.

    FOOD GOAL: I've always been a planner, so I am going to try and log all my meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) every day in the morning, that way I know if I need to add more protein in my snacks before the end of the day.

    EXERCISE GOAL: I am also going to pre-log all my exercises for the week in the notes section on the exercise tab in MFP as well as program my routines into my google calendar so it will alert me when I need to head to the gym.

    *Challenge 1: Be like Michonne and tell how I'll fit my habits into my life.
    My habit (in the making) is to be more intentionally active on my four non-gym days. To do that and keep it in balance with my family life, I'm setting aside 40 minutes in the afternoon/ evening (Tu,Th & Sa) for cardio and 20 minutes in the morning on the same days for strength training. Some days will be an hour in one session instead of splitting things up.

    Sunday is my rest day.

    *Challenge 2 : The Metallica song...:) it's on my playlist while I'm doing elliptical! So, check!

    * Challenge 3: Character Challenge: Kickboxing routine...throwing into my cardio today, probably try and do it three times this week.

    challenge #1. I'm going to try and get as much strength and flex done as I do cardio, something I have been a bit lax on lately

    Challenge 1 - logging exercise. My company offers a $1 credit for each half hour of exercise per month (up to $30). I've got multiple reasons to get off my butt and get to sweating!

    Bonus point challenge #1
    This sounds so wimpy compared to the rest of the posts but I struggle with going to bed at a reasonable hour. I was excited to see that Michonne included staying mentally strong. I will get at least 7 hours sleep per night so that I can focus and be intentional with my goals and not be too tired to care and give up.

    Hi. I'm Lynn. I choose Michonne. My fitness goals are to be more active by using the c25k app MWF, log at least one meal per day, and take my vitamins daily. I wanted to add walk 10k steps per day but I've never pulled it off. So nevermind that.

    Bonus pt challenge 1: re Michonne. My plan is to stay strong and balanced through the next eight weeks add a mindfulness/me time component by using a meditation app or going to Church on Sundays to be more centered. Bonus challenge 2. I did the cardio kickboxing video but a different one in the same series because the one posted wouldn't work. Bonus challenge 3. I did the free weight Aerosmith arm workout. (I think I numbered these right?). I also kept my goal of c25k/being more active, taking vitamins, and logging meals.

    Bonus Point Challenge - "Orange Crush, Kit Kats and Mints."
    I plan my meals ahead of time for the week and pick recipes from healthy food blogs (Skinnytaste is my go-to). I always have a terrible sweet tooth, so instead of reaching in the freezer for that pint of ice cream, I'll mix Greek yogurt with some frozen fruit and a few chocolate chips to satisfy that craving. I also never deprive myself of things I love so I will plan one day a week to go out. My boyfriend and I love this organic pizza place down the street from us, so we will go there once a week, and maybe get ice cream that night too (I usually get a kiddie or small size). I try and go to the gym at least 5-6 times a week, including the day we go out to eat just so I am not ridiculously over my calorie intake for my cheat day.
