My challenges: go to bed at a decent time, limit computer use to three hours, and go outside for an hour.

I think my challenges for this week will be simple:
Eat a salad for lunch 3 times
Drink water instead of something else every day
Do 20+ minutes of exercise 3 times this week

I already have the 20 minutes for today(actually 41.5, but eh).

Been on a mission to hit 3000 calories burned on my heart monitor. I didn't it yesterday (3010) and today I'm at 2770, but I'm not too upset because I didn't even put the thing on til 10:30. I probably hit my 3000 just on on the heart monitor reader thingy. LOL. Tomorrow is another opportunity!!

Peace, Love, Zumba!

5 yoga poses, 15 minute cardio, 15 minute strength training (if it is your rest day, do 15 minutes extra cleaning around the house).
Didn't do the yoga, unfortunately, but I do do 30 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes strength training.

I played DDR for about 20 minutes play time (about 10 minutes were between songs). I am planning to do The Biggest Loser and Wii Fit Plus on the Wii tomorrow. Plus training on jogging. I need to get used to being out of breath, since it is going to affect me a lot if I'm running an obstacle 5k in May.

I had blueberries in my salad, a first for me. It's alright, I couldn't taste it much. I'm about to go play DDR for my fitness, despite it being near midnight.

I did a three mile Leslie Sansone video and I made a spark recipe, making healthier substitutions for some ingredients. Also, when what I really really wanted was a brownie, I ate a Newton's Thins cherry vanilla cookie. Maybe I still had the cookie, but it definitely could have been a WHOLE lot worse!!

I chose an apple with peanut butter instead of a chocolate cupcake and eggs with spinach rather than toast with butter.
For my mile, I actually played DDR workout mode, with makes an equivalency which ended up being about 1.5 miles jogging.

Bizzymom2 - Good to hear you've come back! I'm sure you'll have fun with this challenge.

Actually, it came out with me trying to figure out a way to keep myself accountable. I figure I have to be a role model for the challenge.

As you know, it is recommended that you exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week. So this challenge will introduce daily challenges for exercise to add into your workouts (or give you a workout if you do not regularly exercise). Sometimes this challenge will include food or other lifestyle changes that are involved with the typical healthy lifestyle.

I will update the challenge at midnight every day for the following day's challenge.

Friday, March 1 - Goal: Agility
Challenge: Run 5 50-meter sprints. Either as straight shots or shuttle runs.
Quote: "There's a lot of talk about self-esteem these days. It seems pretty basic to me." If you want to feel proud of yourself, you've got to do things you can be proud of." -Oselda Maccarty

Saturday, March 2 - Goal: Focus
Challenge: Plank until fail, 5 minutes jump rope.
Quote: "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." -Christopher Reeve

Sunday, March 3 - Goal: Energy
Challenge: Do two explosive exercises and eat a piece of fruit with each meal.
Quote: "It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?" -Henry David Thoreau

Monday, March 4 - Goal: Strength
Resist one temptation and do two resistance exercises.
“Better to be strong than pretty and useless.”― Lilith Saintcrow, Strange Angels

Tuesday, March 5 - Goal: Flexibility
Make a compromise today and do two stretching exercises today.
Daily Quote: "Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach." -Tony Robbins
