Good morning!
How did week 4 go? It was a disaster for me. I still got all my regular exercises in but I had no motivation whatsoever go do the other stuff and to eat right. I literally ate everything that crossed my path for about 3 days. It was awful.
I think the binging is out of my system for now (and hopefully for a while!) so hopefully I'll have a good February and get to my goal of losing 3 pounds.

Enjoy!

Week 5: Feb 5-11

Run/walk 23-30 miles
200 crunches/sit ups (any kind)
90 push-ups (20 without knees!)
3 days of 100% tracking
6 days of drinking ALL your water

30 minutes on the exercise machine of your choice (treadmills are excluded, of course!). If you don’t have access to a gym, then do 30 minutes s of any exercise program (tv or dvd).
75 squats
Eat 7 pieces of fresh fruit

    Last week wasn't terrible, but I was like you and ate almost everything that I passed. I barely finished my running last week and my knee was killing me this morning when I tried to jog again. I am *hoping* to get in the 23 miles this week, but I don't know if I will with my knee hurting. Good news is that I did 35 minutes on the elliptical, 50 push ups (10 w/o) knees and 50 squats. Almost to those goals :).

    Good luck to everyone this week!!!

    last week was good for me. The only thing I did not finish was the jump ropes - I procrastinated :( Today is my rest day so I will get on this challenge tomorrow. Have a good week everyone!
