What are the challenges, you ask?
As you know, we have a grand prize for whoever shows the most improvement after 3 months.
But 3 months is a long time, and it's easy to lose our motivation. So we came up with some weekly challenges, to keep us going strong.
Here's how these will work:
Every week we will be given two challenges. These challenges will start on Sunday (usually) and go through the following Saturday.
The first challenge will be physical: Run 15 miles this week, do 700 sit-ups, etc.
(kidding, I would die. The real challenges will be less extreme, I promise)
The second challenge will be either a nutritional, or a self esteem challenge.
At the end of the week, we will each write a post explaining our experiences with the challenges.
BE HONEST. If you failed the challenge, tell us why. If you rocked it, tell us how. Most importantly, tell us how you feel about it.
This weeks challenges
Physical Challenge: Choose from the following and find out how many you can do in one sitting before you want to pass out: push-ups (which for me is like 4...), sit-ups or pull-ups. The challenge is to pick one, and once you figure out how many you can do, add half the original value on top of it by the end of the week! So, if you can do 10 the goal is to practice during the week and bring it up to 15 by Saturday! Good luck!
Self Esteem Challenge: Stand in front of the mirror, and find 15 things that you love about your body. Write them down in a notebook, or on a piece of paper. You do not need to share your answers in your post.
This may take a few days to complete, and that's ok. Once you have your list, feel free to place it somewhere visible, like your mirror. It would be a good reminder to be kind to ourselves when we are looking in the mirror.

I can do the physical challenge at work! YES!
This is very, very sad... I can't do one single pull-up. Not one. Am I alone in this? Push-ups, sit-ups - OK, but pull-ups. Not this girl.
I've never successfully done a pull up. Chantel claims she can do 50 in a row, but she's pretty weak, and she lies a lot.
It seems like you're the one lying missy... but I can understand getting 10 and 50 mixed up. Either way I'm awesome. :-P
