challenge for week...march 30 - april 5

try to do as many of these as you can..and remember you don't have to do all of them...just the ones you want to....add up at the end of the week to see how you did.

first.....at top of paper write......you are what you eat...under this logg right what you eat to the left side..and on the right side write down how many times during the week you eat this one thing.
example... slice bread ..4....if you had 2 sandwiches for the week.then add it all up at the end of the week. and it will help you see were you need to work on your food at.
do a food calorie logg...30 min. on exercise bike. 30 min. treadmill.8 cups water.
ab lounge, arm circles,pillow crunches or thigh toner,airgometer stepper,wall pushups,side twist,neck stretches,arm scissors,weights,40 miles on bike,side bends,cardio fit, just see how many different kinds of exercises you can do. and logg them here so we can help you praise all the hard work you have done.
let us set goals for the week. and see who can reach them.

my main goals will be food logg.....1800 calories, 60 fat , 180 carbs, 30 min. exercise bike, 30 min. on treadmill....and i'll do my best to get 8 cups of water in. this one can be hard for me at times. i'm going to do the you are what you eat logg. and see if it helps me . i'll try to do some of the other ones.
hope to have you all join me.... hugs gwen

Hi Gwen,
My name is Judy and this is my first day. I would love to join you group. You are an inspiration to me. I am 48 and would love to lose 58 pound by my 50th birthday next year. My starting weight is 173. I can use all the help I can get. I have done this diet thing to many times, this time is for me and not anyone else. I figure you never fail until you fail to try. I look forward to getting to know you and everyone else in the group. I love to meet new people especially when we all have the same thing in common.
Judy
