Hello Challengers!

We're in the home stretch, in week 4! This week's mission, I pray you choose to accept it:

Eat 5 servings of fruits/veggies everyday. This 5 servings COMBINED of fruits and veggies. You can use fruit and vegetable juices for some of your sources. Those that juice on their own or buy juices may do this. Be careful w/ the sugar content in fruit juices. You can also count lettuce in salads, and vegetable toppings to pizza, burgers, etc. Also you may use canned, fresh, or frozen fruits and veggies

Many of us fail to eat enough fruits and veggies on daily basis. Fruits and veggies contain vital nutrients that help our bodies function properly. This week's challenge is designed to help us incorporate a healthy habit of getting in the proper amount of fruits and veggies everyday.

Also this week is about the LOWER BODY. We willl be doing 300 reps of lower body exercises, any exercises you want. Thighs, glutes, calves.

Everyone has been doing fantastic and many of have faced alot of challenges, but I am so proud of all of you who have stuck it out in spite of the various obstacles. :)))

If you have any questions please let me know! :))))

    I have been falling behind with this challenge and I am so sorry. This Nuvita challenge at work has my mind preoccupied. Here is what I have so far:
    7/22 0
    7/23 3 cups veggies
    7-24 1 cup fruit
    7/25 1 cup fruit

    Does stair climbing count towards lower body? I did that yesterday. If not I need to get busy ;-)
