Good morning! I hope everyone is doing great and ready to take on week 4.
How did you do last week? What are you looking forward to this week? What bad food are you going to cut?

I completed all my tasks last week. This week, I plan to seriously up my water consumption and not procrastinate my crunches so I get stuck with huge sets the last day lol. Also...burpees...yikes!! As for my bad food, I'll avoid candy and I won't be dipping my finger into the PB jar. Those are my main issues.

Have fun!

Week 4: Jan 29-Feb 4

Run/walk 19-26 miles
150 crunches /sit ups (any kind)
80 push-ups (15 without knees!)
5 days of drinking ALL your water

75 burpees
Jump rope for 20 minutes. Imaginary rope if you don’t have one.
10 minute arm workout. If you have weights, that's awesome. If not, use whatever you can! (bags of rice, hardcover books, etc)
Cut your “bad food” by half this week. (Fast food, candy, ice cream…you name it!)
1 awesome night sleep. Sleep is very important, so go to bed an hour early if you can!

    this week im going to cut down on my weekend "bad" eating. I have a bad habit of over eating in the weekend so not really a food but a habit for me. Other then i just plan on being better at being motivated and actually finish this weeks challenge

    I did a lot better last week and I intend to improve this week. I am looking forward to being smoke free this week. I know it's not a food really but it's definitely a bad habit. I love this challenge and even though I haven't completed everything each week I am moving a lot more than I would have been without it so Thank you so much Maria.

    Last week was a great week...not sure what "bad" thing I will cut this week...I think I've been doing pretty good with my eating...not looking forward to the burpees! Will have to up my running to make the miles though.

    Well Maria you have really upped the ante this week!!!! I didn't complete all of the challenge last week, I had a day of sodium I didn't complete which is my "bad food" I plan on working on this this week. As for the rest of this week's challenge I will do my BEST to complete it! Thanks again Maria for your encouagement and support :smile:

    This week is going to be great! I look forward to the increase in miles and the addition of burpees. I am going to try and cut out candy. Last week was a pretty bad eating week for me because of stress and I want to get back in the hang of things :).

    Looking forward to this week. I was able to complete all of week 3, except I was 3 miles short. Have a great week everyone!

    Last week was pretty good for me, except I didn't complete all my miles. Getting them all in is really a challenge for me. I just do the best I can.

    I don't have a "bad" food. I just have a problem with random snacking. So I will try and cut that down by half this week.

    P.S I HATE burpees not looking forward to those lol.

    Going back to weighing in once a week was great for me last week. For some reason I convinced myself over time that I needed to weigh in daily. I'm going back to weighing in on Mondays :)

    My awesome night sleep might not happen.. I struggle sleeping well.
