Hi everyone! I decided to jump in and start a challenge. I hope others will join me in this quest to reshape my body through fitness and LC eating. I was thinking I'd set a few rules or guidelines to help keep me accountable. I need "to do" lists to keep me on plan.

I thought we could focus on a particular body part each week and maybe share the different exercises we do for that part.

1. Set a weekly exercise goal. Try to set a cardio and a strength goal. It can be small or big. Ex: 5 min. walk & 10 squats. Challenge yourself!

2. Drink lots of water! Try for at least 64 oz. and if you can, drink 1/2 your body weight. Ex: 163, so I should drink approx: 82 oz.

3. Stay on plan with your food! If you mess up, don't fret, get over it and get back on plan. Each day is a new day!

4. Post weight each week.

5. Check in with weekly stats. I'll post those and you can copy & paste

6. Try to post measurements once a month. Doesn't have to be elaborate.
Ex: Chest, Waist, & Hips

7. Ask questions and help each other!

8. Have fun!

This week's focus: Abs!!

Look foward to getting this thing going!

Another great, on plan day. I lost two lbs. I'm sure most already know this b/c I have posted it everywhere. Well, I updated my stats. I guess I'll keep this going another day or so, but if no one joins me then I need to find a similar challenge. I think there is one, but I need to find it. Ok, have a great evening.
