Oct. Challenge Week 2 Open!

I drink at least 1/2 gallon of milk a day. MMM MILK!
I'm in for squats.

How about for the next challenge really watching those parts of our diets that our over our goal. For example, I have been doing good meeting my calorie goal daily, but am almost always over on sugar. Maybe some others have a similar problem.

Thanks again Jenn for doing this challenge. This week has been really good to me so far. I don't have stairs or even a parking lot at work, and I work only 2.2 miles from home. So, I have been biking to work to meet the challenge. I love it!

Wow, I used to be like you, then I had the twins. now, I am lactose intolerant. Cheese, and dairy in food is ok, but to eat ice cream, or drink milk... I am all over the bathroom, and get horrible cramps.

Awesome idea for me!

OMG having kids can make you become lactose intolerant?! NOOOO.

IDEAS???

Anyone have any challenge ideas that they would like to see??? I am trying to make it a bit harder for the last 2 weeks, to really get us moving...

I am open to anything!

How about some Planks? They are great for the arms and abs.

Did I miss the link to view this wees results?

Gosh I'm tired! So much walking, playing football and working out today. Weighing in tomorrow and I am rather nervous. I am off to ride my exercise bike for 10mins then into bed for me.

Good morning fellow challengers.....

We've had a good bit of rain this week in NC, warm and humid UGH! I'm ready for cooler temps.d Hope all of you are doing well in your workouts and eating choices.

Challenges? I suggest we all try to burn 25-30 miles worth of calories for week 3. Maybe do 100 reps of ab work a day?
Stay away from white flour and pasta for a week?

Going to get in another run this morning, I only ran about 15 mins yesterday, my Golden Retriever HAD to come along and its difficult for me to concentrate on breathing when Im worried about him staying off the road etc.

The NC State Fair opens today, that will be a mega food challenge for me next week when I attend.

I'm doing tricep dips for another challenge today, but I will promise to not pasta for a week. As to white flour. i have to make a birthday cake for a friend; so I may have to nibble at that.

Already did 3.5+ miles this am on the elliptical. I had to do this because it was wat to windy and rainy to walk to work (my usual cardio)

Welcome everyone, Here's week 2 Challenge!!!

1. Pack your lunch all week. No eating out at work OR at home! We can do it!!!
