    I'm in! I usually walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 3 mph. Today I'm going to kick it up to 3.5 and/or increase the time to 45 minutes.

    Good luck everybody!

    Today, I definitely kicked it up a notch! Mom & I usually go for a 20-ish minute walk/jog interval in the early afternoon. We decided to extend it to 40 minutes. Also, I did a cardio dance dvd that I haven't done in nearly 2 years, and it was a higher intensity than the ones I've been doing, working different muscle groups, etc. Definitely a good workout today!

    Hope you all are doing spectacularly well today!

    Kayley - what a great challenge today!

    Tomorrow - weigh, measure and record everything that goes in your mouth!

    I wanna throw something out - how would you feel if we establish challenges for each day of the week. Example - every Sunday would be do something nice for yourself. Every Monday would be kick up your workout, etc. We aren't having much participation and I'm not completely creative with coming up with something new every day. Please - what do you think?

    As you know, I love that idea. And don't forget! Making sure we get our water in, and our fruits & veggies!

    OK - so let's fill it in!

    Sunday - do something nice for yourself
    Monday - kick up the workout
    Tuesday -
    Wednesday
    Thursday
    Friday
    Saturday

    Let's make some of these tough so we push ourselves. I like the no eating out weekend challenge - maybe no eating out both days? Water is good - fruit and veggies are good. What about try something new challenge - either a new recipe, new food, new exercise, etc.

    Lots of input please

    I was going to suggest try a new recipe! As I've been going through recipes all day trying to find some new yumminess. And I like the no eating out as well.

    I really kicked it up a notch yesterday.I used hand weights while jumping on the minitram.I can sure feel it today! I also jumped for 30 min.
    I like the idea of a challengeper day.I love the no eat out weekends. I do know that at some point I will eat out on the weekend.I do like the control I have over food at home though.
    I made a huge stirfry for lunch yesterday and it was only 250 calories. How come I dont do it more???? I LOVE THE STUFF!!

    Hey ladies, I didn't do well with yesterday's challenge, so I'm doing challenge today. Going to do my aerobic workout today. My pills got to me yesterday, new pack, so I'm taking steps to manage that today! I overslept today, wanting to get myself back getting up for my morning walks.

    Wow. The dates of this 60 day challenge correspond almost perfectly with my 2 month Better Weigh contest at the Y! Very cool.

    I'm going to assume today's challenge is Kayley's new recipe idea. I love to cook and I've been pouring over recipes the past couple of days so that works really well for me.

    Well...I just forced myself to do a workout. I had these old DVDs the Taebo thing and boy did that kick my tushy. The first time I tried this I was 340 pounds, lasted 5 minutes...this time I could bend to the floor and everything, but I got worn out 30 minutes in. AWESOME! Love it, going to do it tomorrow! I even wore my wrist weights, but I had to take them off as I kept smacking myself in the face. :/ lol

    Okay darlings, I am a little confused. So what is todays challenge, is it to track everything single thing that goes into our mouth or is it the new recipe one?? Let me know, just in case I am already tracking everything that goes into my mouth.. Yay Me!!!

    Heather is correct todays challenge is track everything that goes into your mouth. Those little bites add up.I read in a book at the drs office once that an average bite is 25 calories. So if you take 10 bites of things thru the day that would be 250calories worth of mindless eating bites.
