Good Morning All,
I hope everybody had a great week. I did not have a good week and attribute it to eating out too many times all week. I am going to take my 2lb gain and get back on the wagon today.
Monday Mini Challenge:
Food: Stay within your calorie limit and give up one of your favourite foods.
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. Close the kitchen at 8 pm.
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.
