Here we Go! 3rd "1 week" challenge! let's move!

So this will be my 3rd “1 week” challenge…these things are really helping me! I had almost twice the people on the second one as the first and I hope you all come back this time plus some…I did have a tougher time with the 30 minutes a day thing. I don’t know if it was a mental thing or if I just really didn’t have time. I think I will change it back to distance this time. So let’s start talking about what we will do this week…We will continue with keeping track of our daily calories and exercise calories so I will keep those 2 steps the same.
1-EAT YOUR CALORIES-try and trade one processed thing a day to a fresh item. If you don’t do this but still eat all your calories it still counts, we just wanna try and eat better.
2-EAT YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES BACK (we can still leave the 100 cal window)
For the exercise part lets go back to the distance setting but make it 1 ½ miles this time. Of course you can do more if you want. We can also add some strength this time. Do 100 sit ups or crunches EVERYDAY and you can split it up between any styles you like. I have 3 styles I like and I divide the 100 between them. Also let’s get in 30 squats EVERYDAY. Make sure your knees do not go over your toes and stick your butt out. You can squat as deep as you are comfortable with. And finally, let’s do 25 arm presses with at least a 3lb weight in each hand every day. Bend your arms at the elbow with elbows out to the side not in front of you, and press the weights up over your head till you arms are strait up in the air and repeat.
3-1 ½ MILE EVERYDAY
4-100 SIT/UPS or CRUNCHES (pick your style/styles), 30 SQUATS, 25 ARM PRESSES (gotta do it all for this step to count-unless medically advised not to do them…like say you have an injured knee and can’t)
Last but NOT least! WATER! Last week was drinking your 8 cups. Well this week we are gonna make it 10! So for my few ladies that had a problem with this, STEP IT UP! It helps if you get a huge water bottle and keep it with you so you know how much you drink or you could do what I did today. I took a plastic, disposable cup (they usually hold about 2 cups) and I would mark with a permanent marker 2 tick marks (for the 2 cups) every time I filled it up. So when I was done I would know how much I drink that day.
5- 10 CUPS (8oz each) of WATER!

So let’s talk about posting. For my previous peeps, you know the drill! It’s the same this time. You have to post EVERYDAY on this thread, after you have completed everything. If you can’t get back on that night then you can post it the next day but if you miss 2 days in a row you will be cut from the challenge! I usually post reports for a day on the next day about lunch time my time (central USA). If you missed the day before it is ok if you don’t get it in before I post the report as long as you get it in with that day’s report at the end of that day. I will update it the next day. But just try to post at the end of everyday! OK. I think that about covers it. I will recap below. Good luck to all! Thanks for joining in advance! WE WILL START ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH. So your first check in report will be that night, right here on this thread only (pretty please) . And for new members you can friend me if you want cause I do give support and reminders on my wall. COMMENT “IN” IF YOU WANT TO JOIN AND GIVE ME YOUR STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE.
