WEEK 6!

We are now starting week 6 of this 8 week challenge. I can't beleive how fast this challenge has gone by. Don't forget... all you need to do is go to http://www.womenshealth.gov/woman to log your weekly/daily steps or minutes.

I've found it hard to fit fitness in at times, especially with having a sinus infection. I am trying to do what I can when I can.... but mostly, it has not be "real" workouts. It's been more running around with my kids or going for walks or gardening. It still burns calories and it keeps me off the couch. I'm starting to feel better so I am hoping to get back to my regular workouts. I've set a goal for myself this week to fit in 3 "real" workouts.

I've found that setting goals helps me stay focused on what I'm trying to acheive. I "know" I want to lose weight and be healthy, but in the moment.... well, I don't always make wise choices. I'm finding that if I plan or set goals, I do much better. Give it a try. Does it help you? What works for you? Do you have other suggestions that might help someone who has lost motivation?

Only a few weeks left on this challenge. Let's see if we can step things up and really "bring it" for the end of this challenge!

Don't forget... this week has a bonus challenge. It's a fun family/friend challenge so be sure to check it out.

Have a wonderful week and I'll be checking in with you soon! Keep pushing play or get out there and walk.... every step counts. :)
