Good Morning All,
I hope everybody had a great week. Welcome to all the new members and great to see past members carrying on with their journey. Not sure how many are doing the C25K as I did not have any response to my question. If you are doing it, then continue but I am going to go back to regular miscellaneous cardio.
Monday Mini Challenge:
Food: Stay within your calorie limit and have a no sugar day.
Cardio: Do 125 jumping jacks. See how many you can do without stopping for the first set and then spread out the rest throughout the day.
Strength: Do 150 crunches (3 different kinds). Again see how many you can do in the first set and then spread out the rest throughtout the day.
Water: drink at least 64 ozs today.
Tuesday Mini Challenge.
Food: stay within your calorie limit and make sure you eat at least 3 vegetables and 2 fruits.
Cardio: Do 30 minutes brisk walk.
Strength: do 150 squats. The trick today is to see how many you can do in the first set and then spread the remainder throughout the day.
Water: drink at least 64 ozs today.

Strength: do 100 push-ups and again try to see how many you cab do in the first set and then spread the remainder throughout the day.
Water: drink at least 64 ozs today

Monday challenge- kind of complete, was within my calorie limits but had sugar
didn't do the crunches but I also did an hour of Zumba......tired! :yawn:

Tuesday Mini Challenge...did cardio but forgot to do squats!! But I did the Ripped in 30 dvd so at least I got some squats in...I binged a little yesterday, but I am having PMS symptoms a little early so I think that may have contributed....lost a pound as of this morning so that is helping to motivate me to do better today!!0

Ugh...I can't seem to get it together! I work full time and have three kids who well, I will just leave it alone before I rant on my own kids. By 11pm last night I finally got my "chores" done and was too exhausted to do the challenge...disappointment. Zumba tonight, need a kick in the butt too! :ohwell:0
