Have a great week.

    ^^THIS, thank you for organizing it again. I don't have to lose a lot but I need a challenge like that for accountability. I'm trying to work towards maintenance and can already notice how easy it is to slip once I've upped my calories a bit.
    Good luck and great achievements to everyone:flowerforyou:

    Easiest part of this challenge for me is the water. I drink that and more a day and always have! Less sure about doing 100 lunges etc. Think I manage about 20 a day, guess i will be doing them in small groups initially!

    Have failed with both Monday and Tuesday challenges with the exception of the water consumption that is. Hopefully Wednesday will have success in all areas.

    Good morning, pals!

    I'm not sure how many squats and lunges I did yesterday with The Firm Lower Body Sculpt DVD, but it was good enough for me! I'm still feeling it this morning! lol. Hope you all have a healthy, blessed day!!

    Wed done bar the takeaway food bit. Got stuck late in work and only thing I could get was a subway. However I went for low fat healthier option with no cheese so I am improving.

    I was doing good until thos lunges, but it was great to push myself to do exercise that I do not like. I'm enjoying this challenge so far.

    I did the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Level 4 this morning....talk about paaaaaiiiiin! But her video really helps w/ my sciatic nerve pain, & that's what keeps me coming back....still need to fit in a little walking today, but I'm home w/ the fam this weekend so that shouldn't be a problem. One thing I need to focus on more is journaling & posting on MFP. After we got back from mexico I kind of hit a wall.....me no likey! So I will be setting a goal to journal twice a week & sign into MFP twice a week.

    I have no problems staying under my caloric intake & I'm on the Body by Vi shakes so I am getting protein as well. I absolutely love walking so again no problem there, just need to find a work out dvd that I will stick with!
