Feel free to tell us about how your goal went last week too!

Well, this goal was a giant fail for me. Being a morning exerciser is still something I would like to be in theory, but it's so difficult to put into practice, especially with my looming licensing exam! I'll have to figure out a more realistic goal for next week.

My challenges:
1 - follow modified Phase 1
2 - exercise for at least 10 minutes
3 - 80 oz water/seltzer/herbal tea

17 - 100% successful
18 - :carrot: food was perfect, exercised 60 minutes and drank about 90 oz water/tea
19 - this challenge actually forced me to exercise yesterday. Hooray!
20 & 21 - still hitting all the challenges!
22 - nailed it

Workout at least 3-4 days this week.
Keep my bread down to 2 servings a day (it has been creeping up a bit)
Drink more water!!!!
Get more sleep, which is what I should be doing now :)

-workout 5 days
-80 oz of water per day
-finish P1 strong!

April 17: check, check, check!
April 18: well, I may need to modify my goal for the week...took a major fall at work today and don't think will be doing any high impact workouts as I have a very bad ankle right now! Maybe I can be ok with pilates this week, though.

My goals for the week

1. Drink 96oz water/day
