    Good Morning Everyone,

    The "Life's New Journey" November Challenge is officially under way. I would like to welcome all the new people that have joined our group. Some changes that the October people might notice are that I have divided people into teams. There was no particular rhyme nor reason as to what team you were placed on. I tried to divide it according to weight (some heavier and some lighter). I encourage you to introduce yourself or at least friend the people that are in your group. Remember this is all friendly support. We are all winners just by being here. Good luck to everybody.

    Monday's Mini Challenge:

    Food - today is Halloween and for somebody like me that luvs chocolate it takes every ounce of willpower that I have to not eat the whole box. In looke at the nutritional value I can probably work one or two of them into my calorie count. Today I challenge you to stay within your calorie count and definitely above 1200.

    Cardio - Take at least a 30 minute brisk walk. Make sure you get your heart rate up for a good part of the walk.

    Strength - It is crunch day. Lets do at least 100 but they have to be at least three different kinds. Try some regular ones, try on an exercise ball, try pulling up to the side to work obliques, try lifting your legs and butt for the reverse crunch.

    Quote of the Day- Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

    I hope everybody has a great day.

    Keep Smiling :smile: :smile: :smile:

    You bet Jess. Let me know what you think of the challenges. If there is something specific you are struggling with, let us know. This is a journey whereby we all celebrate our successes and get through our struggles together.

    My food choices were very good today and I start over with counting at 5pm so I will be great today. I am going to try to get most of my cardio in while trick or treating with my kids.

    Woot Woot! Lets go Mission Slim Possible! :tongue: A question about the spreadsheet though. What goes under the week 1 column? Our ending weight for that week or the results of all of our mini challenges? Well, I'm off to do the Monday Mini Challenge! Should I report back here or on the spreadsheet?

    I absolutely love your enthusiasm. In answer to your questions: Column E is your ultimate goal weight. Column F is your goal weight for the end of November. The mini challenges are just something extra that I decided to do and there is no place on the spread sheet for them. You can comment back here as to how it went. Have fun with them.
