Intro
Every evening I will post a challenge for the next day. As we move along they will get more difficult. There will be no starving or crazy diets. Any of us can drop 5 pounds eating nothing but grapefruit for 6 weeks! But alas you can not be healthy eating only one food for the rest of your life or happy for that matter! Most of the challenges will center on a more active lifestyle. I don't have all the time in the world to dedicate to such things and I'm sure that you don't either. There will not be hours spent in the gym away from your family. I believe to lose weight and keep it off we must be happy and in order for moms to be happy our families must be happy too. All workouts/challenges will be kid friendly. Things that they can do with you.
I don't own a bunch of fancy equipment and won't be buying any! I couldn't afford a home gym in my dreams! I don't belong to a gym. Everything will be done with everyday items you find around the house. The only items you need are a pedometer to keep track of your walking. I will include both steps and a mileage estimate on how far those steps will likely take you. So if your pedometer only does one you'll be fine. Pedometers are available at just about every discount chain. Nicer models can be found at sporting goods stores. They are available at just about every price point. You don't need anything fancy so get whatever you can comfortably afford. If you don't have one and still want to take a walking challenge I suggest public walking trails that tell you the approximate mileage or use your car odometer to determine a half to one mile walking coarse you can use to add up to that days challenge.
The only other things you need is a stroller to take your little tykes with you, comfortable cloths and shoes made for walking so your feet don't get sore.
I wish all of you all the luck in the world! You can do this! You can drop the weight! You can look forward to swimsuit season! OK, Maybe that last ones a bit of a stretch, LOL! But we don't have to dread it so badly!
Come on Ladies! Let's get moving!
Don't forget to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.
