CHALLENGE FOR FRIDAY JULY 7TH:
1. It's weigh-in day today!!! Time to celebrate a week of hard work towards reaching your healthy lifestyle goals!! Find something today to reward yourself (that isn't food related - or at least 'bad-for-you-food' related). (ie: take a nice bath, meet a friend for uplifting conversation, even just taking a moment to be 'proud' of yourself is beneficial and motivational.
2. Keep up the good work - stay within your calorie range and drink at least 8 glasses of water.
3.
Calf Raises, 3 sets of 8
Calf Stretch, 2 reps on each leg (hold the stretch for 12 seconds min.)
Lying Abduction, 3 sets of 12 on each leg (hold for 2 seconds at the top)
Outer Thigh Stretch, 2 times on each side (hold the stretch on each leg)
4. Eat at least 5 fruits AND veggies today.
One serving equals:
1 medium piece of fruit
½ cup fruit or vegetables (raw, cooked, canned, or frozen)
1 cup of leafy salad greens
¼ cup of dried fruit
¾ cup or 6 oz. of 100% juice
½ cup cooked peas or beans (from canned or dried)
5. Cardio - 30 minutes minimum - your choice. If you've been only using the treadmill, or only using the bike - try mixing it up a bit today (if possible). If you're at the gym, try a different machine. (I know it's not always possible to switch,do what you can).
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Hi everyone,
I've been busy today - out with the kids all day, it was glorious here!!
Everyone is doing such a fantastic job!!! I, unfortunately have a pulled muscle so the cardio was missed today. I'm going to the gym tomorrow anyway and will do a light workout and stretching. I did finish everything else on the list, though.
Here's the updated star list (you're all stars in my book!!!) but these are the ones you've been working so hard for.
