    Hey all,

    Andrea has asked me to set the main challenge so here goes:

    1st is obvious- drink all your water
    2nd-Try a new recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner
    3rd- do at least 10 reps a day of the exercise you don't like the most
    4th- look in the mirror each morning and say "today i like....about myself" (we need to appreciate all the hard work we have done)
    5th- Have a great week and remember we can do this!!

    Hi Everybody!:happy: :happy:
    Andrea has asked me to set the new "weekly challenge", for the upcoming week, so here goes:

    Do at LEAST 15 minutes of a quick paced (4.0) walk EVERY day... even if you have to do a short jog-in-place.

    Try not to eat for at LEAST two hours before you go to bed! (I'd say try for NO EATING after 8pm, but I know some people get home late from work.)

    Drink Drink DRINK all of your water! :drinker:

    Try to up your protein EACH DAY just a little more than usual.... it helps to make muscle which will help burn more calories!:happy:

    Do a short circuit training routine each morning or night (think BATHING SUIT and tank top WEATHER :bigsmile: ):
    :heart: 20 crunches

    :heart: 20 bicep curls with your choice of weight (used canned veggies if you don't have weights! )

    :heart: 20 reverse crunches

    :heart: 20 Overhead Extensions (for triceps):Grasp the ends of a dumbbell with both hands and sit on the edge of a chair. Keep your abs tight, so you don't arch your back. Lift the weight over your head, keeping your elbows close to your ears. Bending your elbows, slowly lower the weight behind your head until it almost touches your back. Hold for a second, then lift the weight back up.

    Let's all have a good week and do our best to blast away those evil little :devil: calories!!!

    1.) Burn 2500+ calories
    2.) Drink all your water!!!
    3.) Have one Low/No carb day.

    thanks for the great challenge hun... my personal challenge will be to go walking EVERY night after college... and also to stop weighing in every day xx

    the sun is splitting the skies today and its summer now so i really need to kick myself up the *kitten* and get moving.. i have a communion in 8 weeks so id like another stone gone by then... i have decided to join slimming world tomorrow.. i did join before but thats all i done.. i joined and never went back so this time im gonna stick at it and hopefully the scale will move... according to my scales today im UP 4LBS..... but im not recording it because although i ate a lot over the weekend i did not eat 4lbs worth of food... i really want to see a loss...

    this week is gonna be a challenge in itself... we have easter tomorrow and its my birthday on monday.. having a few drinks with friends tomorrow to celebrate... all i can say is i hope i dont do to much damage..

    challenge: eat whatever choc you want BUT do try work it off...
    drink plenty of water
    fill your plate with veg/salad when having dinner
    fill up on fruit... some fruits burn more calories been digested than they actually have... examples... melons(all types) strawberries blueberries/blackberries/ grapefruit so if you eat lots of these and your good you WILL lose weight!!!!
    we have to get as close to our goals as we can this summer... DO YOU STILL WANNA BE DOING THIS NEXT YEAR!!! or for Christmas.... EH NO THANKS lolxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HAPPY EASTER
