10 Week Challenge - Week 2

Pep Talk

It's Week 2 of the 10-Week Challenge.  Hopefully you were successful in reaching last week's goals.  This week, we are going to build on them.  Here are your goals for this week.  They are very similar to last week, but additions are marked in BOLD text.
  1. Complete 3 workouts this week.  The workouts can be ANYTHING at least 30 minutes long -- walking, running, kayaking...even the Challenge Workout below (even though it takes less than 30 minutes, it's better than nothing).
  2. Plan and eat a breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks each day.  Limit your takeout to 2 times this week.
  3. Reserve two meals this week for "treat" meals.  They can be any meals -- Friday pizza night, Sunday brunch, Tuesday work lunch, etc.  Just make sure to get back on track afterwards.
  4. If you slip up, get right back on track with your next MEAL, not the next day.
  5. Get outside at some point this week, whether it's a brief walk on your lunch break or a bike ride.  Sometimes the outdoors can clear your head.
Remember to really commit and stay accountable.  Success isn't achieved through brief bursts of intense effort; rather, it is long-term consistency that will help you get to your goals.
