How yall' feeling....I hope good! I am doing well. Can't believe I truly made this lifestyle change..it's been good and clothes are fitting better. I see some toning in my arms and I can see the abs but working on that layer of extra "pooch". So in order to attack this, In conjunction with my regular workouts which is about 5 to 6 days out the week, I am going to do a challenge.
I first started out with 15 minutes of cardio each day, then I came up with the idea to add to add in some body weight exercises and various things...then I thought to myself how can I really make this fun and stick to it so I have decided to put it out there and anyone who wants to join can. I plan to check on those that are in the challenge throughout the week every so often and give some motivation to them or tips as the week goes on.
In addition, I think I am going to add two weeks to it and make the exercises a little more intense and instead of everyday make it 5 days since body will need a little rest day if the workouts are more intense....therefore turning my two week challenge into a full month!
ARE YOU IN FOR THE CHALLENGE!!! Take a look and don't be scared.
So you have seen it....are you in! If so, leave a comment and I will add you to my message list.

CHALLENGERS
- You DO NOT have to do the cardio and then go right into the workout. If you do it would probably allow you to burn more calories since your heart rate will already be up. I want this to be for those that don't have too much time too so if you need or want to do the cardio at a different time from the workout that is find with me. This is just to get you moving and help you burn some extra calories as well as start to tone up various areas.
- Drink lots of water.
- Do your best to EAT CLEAN although a cheat meal once a week won't hurt. A slip up happens just don't let it become routine and get back on track.
- LIMIT your sugar intake.
- Try to not have as many carbs at night and have them during the day. If you have a regular workout plan and doing this, make sure you are getting enough meals in during the day to keep your energy up.
- Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. This blog is loaded with ideas so view past posts.
- For your own purposes, weigh yourself to see how many pounds you lose. Or even better, put on something that doesn't fit well (like something tight) and see how much better it can fit when this is over. Like at the end of the month. 2 weeks is to get you in and want more. You have a choice after two weeks to continue...I hope you do! If it can become a lifestyle for me, it can become one for you too.
