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.
Wednesday Mini Challenge:
Food: stay within your calorie limit and make sure you are eating enough protein to help repair the muscles damaged from exercise.
Cardio: Do an interval workout. 5 minute warm-up, 1 minute jog, 2 minute walk, X6, 5 minute cool-down
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
Thursday Mini Challenge
Food: stay within your calorie limit and make sure you are including lots of fibre in your diet. This will help you feel fuller and keep everything regular.

Monday Mini Challenge complete! Am sick, but definetely can't let that stop me since I've gained 5 pounds back....don't even know where it came from but I'm back into panic mode!0

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:
Everything else- completed!0 -
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
