8 week challenge

There have been some questions surrounding the 8 week challenge that we are starting. The first thing is that you may choose any area of your body that you would like to work on for the 8 weeks. It is not meant to be just an 8 week thing, but to make different challenges acheivable and getting into the habit of setting goals with time constraints. The second clarification is that you can start anytime this week and simply count the days. (For example if you started today you would end on the 3rd of November). The last claification is that you choose an area that you are excited to get in shape and that you will stick with. My husband is choosing his lower back and lower abs. He wants to get rid of his love handles and get his core in shape. Take a before picture, which you will keep, until the end of the 8 weeks when you will submit both of the pictures if you would like. Post in the comment box your commitment, name, and how you will get there. In this way you will help others and be held accountable personally. The main thing is to teach all of us to be more commited to our health and help us to make the goals to get there. We are here to help with whatever you need. If we don't have the answer, the goal is for others to help and provide answers from what they know. In this way, we become a health community, dedicated to helping eachother to get in shape and enjoy life to the fullest. Sorry for the confusion, we hope this is helpful.

  1. I'm making a commitment to keep losing weight and shedding excess pounds gained over the past year while being away from home for a month. I'm going to make sure I use protein shakes as a meal replacement and avoid eating fast food or eating out in general while on shift, and to lift at home or in the gym 4 times a week while running 6 or more miles every other day. I'm planning on working my core, especially lower abdominal muscles. Thanks for the blog, been down here a week and it's been pretty hard to keep a steady plan without something holding me accountable.
