    I love the food challenge. I have tried so many fruits and veggies. This will be a true challenge!

    I should be able to mark off the diamond push-ups and the plank drops after my lunchtime workout.

    I've never done traveling pushups, but that'll be a fun challenge for tonight!

    okay so these exercises are hard for me to do. I am doing almost all of them. And I am looking for the food. I am almost ready to try to eat raw tomato....almost. and the extra steps will be much easier for me. :smooched:

    Modify if there is something you just can't get done. It's meant to challenge you but not overwhelm you.
    Should be above and beyond what you already do.

    November 9,

    Do 50 Step ups per leg.

    Start by looking at a bench/step/2 steps/or whatever you can use, infront of you and begin by lifting your any leg and then step-up onto the bench. You can either return to the starting position or lift the opposing leg up working your hip flexor. Once down at the starting position use the other leg for the next repetition.

    And don't forget your water!

    Got the steps ups done for today, and today I tried Radicchio for the first time, my hubby does the grocery shopping and I gave him the mission of finding something I hadn't had before, he really came through!!! He also brought home some Asian pear/apples, I'll try one of those tomorrow. I think that is a good idea for a challenge. We often get in a "food rut" and don't try new things.
