Week 3 of the 20 Minutes-A-Day Challenge
Sunday- Snack Shop
Shop for some easy-to-grab snacks this week; yogurt, rice cakes, whole grain breakfast cereals, microwave popcorn, whole grain mini-bagels, oatmeal, snack-size containers of apple sauce, flavored tuna or low-fat string cheese.
Monday- Attack of the Snacks
If you get a case of the munchies mid-morning, bring something to work with you!
Tuesday- Shape Up
Get out there and go for a 20 minute sculpt walk; that's right, bring the weights with you.
Wednesday- Treat Yourself
Quick and easy treats to prepare; raw veggies, mini bagel w/peanut butter, sugar-free hot chocolate or even a rice cake w/cream cheese or jam.
Thursday- Get Speedy
Another day for a 20 minute walk; this time do an interval walk...one minute at a moderate pace, then pick it up for one more, and so on.
Friday- Weigh Your Options
More 'eating out' tips; skip the starch- double order your veggies. Choose steamed vegetables over those in butter or sauce. Order Meg Ryan style; on the side. Share with your fellow diners.
Saturday- See It Happen
At some time today sit down and write down your goals. Be specific about what you want; The more specific you are and the more positively you frame it, the greater likelihood you will actually see it happen.

You can't reach your dreams lying down!
