For this week, its

Three New Things Challenge

You decide on what those new things will be. For me - I need to think a bit more. I'm also going to attempt my hard core challenge again (lets see if I can do better than 3 as I did last week).

Who's in on the new challenge?

[tkglenn]

i want to try it. I dont do WW but am I still able to do the challenge?

If so, here are my three:

1-lose 2 pounds this week
2-do the treadmill for at least 15 minutes everyday
3-stick to my caloric intake

[sloanie]

I'm in. My three will be:
1. lose at least 1/2 pound
2. drink two 20 oz. bottles of water at least 5 times this week
3. walk on the treadmill 30 minutes at least 4 times this week

I thought of one new thing to try this week. I'm going to find one new recipe -- I won't count what I made yesterday as it was last week.

Maybe I'll walk a longer, new route?? Possibly try a new food???? Not sure about the other 2 new things. I'll keep thinking.

1. 4 workouts
2. cut down on caffeine
3. No extra sweets!

One of my challenge points will have to wait until the end of the week, but I did meet the water and exercise part of the challenge for day one.

I'm in!!

My three will be

1. Try a new food. I bought some kale and will try it this week. Not sure how yet.

2. Try a new recipe.

3. 3 days of hard core(No WPA)

Tracie-If kale is mild like spinach, you could cook it until tender, drain it, then saute it with olive oil and garlic. When it is very hot pour in one scrambled egg and stir til done. Add salt to taste. My mom makes spinach this way and it is delicious!

Tkglenn: of course you can be in..we're inclusive and diverse!

OK, three things:

1. try two new recipes
2. lose one pound
3. walk, walk, walk

I've met my first day of eating hard core yesterday. Won't be eating hard core today as my father's assisted living center is having their annual festival, and have a barbecue and festivities, so I will be eating there. But watching what I eat.

day two-drank my water and walked on the treadmill for 30 min

[sloanie]

Day three: on the treadmill this morning. 16 oz. water to go, no problem!

[twestra]

Day two of hard core for me today. I just need to have one more hard core day, try a new recipe and try a new food. I think tomorrow I will incorporate the kale that I bought into a new recipe and if I can make it a hard core day, I will have met the challenge!

[sloanie]

Day four: not so great. I can't let another day go by without drinking the water. I'll do it today and walk on the treadmill.

Yesterday is my 3rd hard core day. I just have to try a new food and a new recipe. I am trying Kale tonight, in a Raw Kale Salad. If I like it, I will post it. It sounds really good. So I should have my challenge met after dinner tonight. I think I will go and make the salad now, because it has to marinate awhile before eating it.
