Ready for Summer Challenge.

I was considering sponsoring another challenge and my homegirls MAREN and SARAH are running the READY FOR SUMMER CHALLENGE...


So I highly recommend signing up and getting healthy with me over there. I will still post here over the summer. I am thinking maybe some sorta Dear Abby type stuff... or just a article or two a week..

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Week 3 Goals & Wk2 Check in..

The start of week 3 is upon us. I have tried to visit every blog but with 60+ challengers it is almost impossible. I hope you all take time to visit as many of our challengers as you can. Support is crucial and beneficial. I also hope that we are all starting to get into our healthy habits... If you hit a road block..just knock it down or work around it. Don’t let it stop you. If you can’t do everything... do something. Keep moving toward your goals.

How was week 2?

Did you have any a-ha moments?

What was your biggest success?

What was your biggest struggle?

What are you plans for week 3?

Food...Fitness...Fun  How will you include all 3?

--Weekly challenge--

This weeks’ challenge is NO SWEETS! 

So let’s rock this week.

Remember you are worth the time & effort it takes to achieve your best life.

Remember to use the LINKZ and no comments please!

Spring "Chick" Challenge 2012

Starts: Monday, January 2nd, 2012

End: Monday, March 19, 2012 (The last day of Winter)

We are starting 2012 off by breaking the shell of our old self and getting ready for Spring by becoming more fit and healthy.

So since for most this is a new thing doing a challenge, I want to have our 1st challenge be about building a strong foundation and seeing tangible results.

So here are the focus points for this challenge:

1. Commit to a NSV (non scale victory) to be assessed at the start and the conclusion of the challenge.  
• For example it could be:
• losing inches
• improving your 1mile time
• fitting into a pair of your used to be favorite jeans.
2. Commit to a set of nutrition parameters and track via MyFitnessPal or Sparkpeople or WW. Whatever tracking works for you. IF you are on maintenance and do not really track. What nutrition goals do your have?
• How many calories daily or weekly?
• How much water will you drink daily?
• What items, if any, will you limit?
3. Commit to a set of exercise parameters. These can be as loose or as flexible as you feel work for your personality, schedule, etc.
• Think variety.
• Start small and build.
• Try to incorporate a variety of exercises as to avoid boredom 
4. Commit to blogging at least twice weekly and 1 of those times must be you check in with a complete up date on your progress. All other blogs could include new insights, results of weekly challenges, or just letting others know how you are doing.
5. Commit to support... both giving and receiving. Check others blogs and comment as you feel motivated to do. 

So... you think about the 5 focus points and get ready to SPRING n2 ACTION....

Then.... leave a comment and a link to your blog.  I will have a initial stats post ready by January 1st.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
