Here's what's on the agenda for us this week:

Shopping day- get ready for the week ahead and get your groceries taken care of ahead of time!


Monday: Just Peachy!
Eat up and fuel yourself for the day ahead! How about a peach cobbler?


Tuesday: Ramp Up!
Walking the pyramid walk! Five minutes of moderate pace, five more of picking up the pace, another five of 'full steam ahead' and the last five cooling down.


Wednesday: Breakfast Fiesta!
How about a burrito for breakfast?


Thursday: Tush toning!
A walk that include lunches and squats!

Oh good, it was an allover problem, I was getting so frustrated being unable to get here the other day!!


I was giving this challenge some thought yesterday-- it seems it's focus is more on food, with a little exercise thrown in for good measure. I'm really not that sure how much I'm into it. I think I'd be more interested if it were 20mins a day focussing on something 'moving' (even if it was just to sweep the house or something, ya' know??)


In any case this week doesn't looks so great 'challenge' wise;


Sunday: Great Groceries!
Shopping day- get ready for the week ahead and get your groceries taken care of ahead of time!
NO!


Monday: Double Happiness!
Instead of a PB&J sandwich you'll find a tasty recipe for sesame noodles on todays assignment.
NO!


Tuesday: Get Energized!
Go for a high energy walk today; at least 20mins.
NO!


Wednesday: South of the Border!
A delicious southwestern chicken salad in on the menu today.


Thursday: Fast Burn!
Try doing a circuit workout today; incorporate cardio with strength training.


Friday: Order Smart!
Tips for dining out; ditch the bread; drink the water; order a broth based soup.


Saturday: Talk the Talk!
Watch your language- try being more positive, about yourself!
