I need a Challenge!!
I want help creating a challenge that only lasts a small while. I believe that small goals are the reality to big dreams. I need a challenge that requires: 5 days of fitness - minimum 30 min each day. And no more than 20% carbohidrates. Its not an easy challenge. Who thinks they know what to do??

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
I dont mean the big ones that everyone breaks before the end of the month - I want to hear about the little resolutions that people have been thinking about doing and want to try to make happen next year.
