A week into the challenge, how are you doing?

Well, it's been a little over a week. How are you doing with the challenge? Are you meeting your weekly goal? Were you realistic when you set that goal? Is that goal too easy? Too hard? Do you need to make adjustments to it for this week?

Make sure you are going to http://www.womenshealth.gov/woman to enter your progress. You should see yourself move along the map as each week passes.

There is an additional challenge this week. If you want the bonus points, just click on week 2 bonus challenge and chose one of the 4 items listed to try this week. Once you've completed the challenge, click where it says, "I certify I completed one of these" and you will be awarded your bonus points.

I'd like to know what your struggles are. Post them here or email me.
I'm finding that it's getting busier and it's getting harder for me to make time or fit my workouts in. I like to workout for at least an hour a day. I've decided that I should stop stressing about the workouts and only do 30 minutes if that's all that I can fit in. If I can't fit a full workout in, I'm also trying to throw in some crunches, squats, pushups or lunges. These do burn calories and do work. Just keep track of the time you are doing them and you'll see that by the end of the day that you accumulated quite a few and that you got in a 20-30 minute workout anyways.

Remember, we are worth taking care of. When we take care of ourselves, we are better moms, just better all the way around.

Keep working at meeting those fitness goals.

If I can do anything to help you, please let me know. I'll be checking in again soon.
