Exercise for 45 min 5 days this week and do weight lifting at least twice

Add an extra serving of veggies to one meal each day

Good Luck!

National Fitness Month Challenge 2011 Part II

I think I did well last week, though I didn’t get “walks” in, I did do a lot of walking so I’m okay with it. I think I actually got about three hours worth of walking in so I will count this week as a success and I exercised twice on top of that. Now for this weeks challenge.

This weeks Fitness Challenge is:

Exercise 30 minute walk 5 days this week.

National Fitness Month: Week 4 Challenge

Holly — Sat, 22 May 2010 16:16:13 +0000

This week I only got 4 of my walks in again. This time I stayed out too late and was just worn out. It’s okay though I know I’m at least getting out there most of the time. How are you doing? Hopefully well.

This weeks challenge is:

Continue doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.

15 minutes of strength training 3 times this week. (look at upping the weight you use)

10 minutes of deep breathing 5 times a week

National Fitness Month: Week 3 Challenge

Holly — Sat, 15 May 2010 19:08:38 +0000

This week I did not get everything done. I only got 2 days of weight lifting in along with only 4 days of walking. It’s not bad at all and considering it wasn’t done out of me just being lazy I’m happy. One problem was rain, I hate doing anything in the rain, but on top of that I just have not been feeling well. I’m surprised I managed to get what I got done. I did manage to add one more good thing to my diet plan, more veggies and protean. As a diabetic I have been concentrating on carbs way too much.

I’ve learned from this week so I am going to change things a little.

This weeks challenge is:

Continue doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.

15 minutes of strength training 4 times this week.

Subtract something unhealthy from your diet.

I’m going to try to just keep walking, it relaxes me, but I know when there is rain I need to get up and do something so that is where the other cardio option comes in. I’m also going to work on staying away from cake. We got an ice cream cake for mothers day and I kept sneaking little bites from it.

How did you do this week?

National Fitness Month: Week 2 Challenge

Holly — Sat, 08 May 2010 14:08:27 +0000

I have to say I’m pretty dang proud of myself. I got my 30 minutes 5 times this week and I’m feeling so much better. I also cut out pop and started drinking tea instead. I don’t know if I lost anything and wont until Monday, but I feel better and thats what matters.

This weeks challenge is to continue last weeks challenge and do the following

30 minutes of strength training 3 times this week.

Add another healthy option to your meals, this can be a salad or more veggies as a side dish.

How did you do this week?

Two Walks Down Three To go

Holly — Tue, 04 May 2010 14:11:25 +0000

Yes, I have walked at least 30 minutes twice now. I’m proud of myself and plan to keep going. I feel so much better already and the dog sure seems to love it. We just got back from our walk and she laying next me looking at me with a “I’m so tired” look.

I am extremely proud of myself as I walked a lot farther today then I did yesterday. I think I got a little more then a mile in, but I’m not totally sure, I think I need to get a device that will tell me how far I walk. It would be nice. Are you joining me? How are you doing?
