Do it with pride
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
What role does body confidence play in fitness? An uncredited but powerful cameo, it seems. Confidence affects how we carry ourselves, whether we wear a baggy shirt or a form-fitting one, and our tendency to plant ourselves in the front (motivating) or back (hard to see the instructor) of the class. Today, challenge yourself to feel pride in who you are and what you accomplish, however you look and whatever your fitness level.

I challenged myself to run on a treadmill at a speed of 7.0, so far I am up to 6.7..I cannot run outside, not enough of a cushion..docs told me I cannot run, jump rope or ride a bike..too much pressure on my knee, I am proving them wrong bit by bit :)
Just got done showering after an awesome workout burned 912 calories in an hour while riding the life cycle. Did 650 crunches did the plank exercise for 22 minutes straight. Did 130 20 pound curls.
Had 4 vitamins 2 proflavinol and 2 poly c . One is an antioxidant the other is time released vitamin c.
I washed it down with acai juice. Now going to have a cup of cooked oatmeal and apple cider with cinnamon and cranberries and banana. I will wash my oatmeal down with orange with calcium and seltzer. For my snacks this afternoon I plan on eating apples and drinking orange juice and seltzer.
I feel awesome after a great workout! Today was 629TH straight day of doing a 60 minute or more cardio vascular workout.
I have challenged myself to go to gym three times per week for at least one hour
I am going to accept this challenge by taking pride in what I do and by sharing my successes with my friends no matter how small they may seem.
I have challenged myself to do sprints while at the gym..so far so good.
My best friend and I recently challenged ourselves by joining a gym and setting a goal of working out 5 days a week until we have formed the healthy habit of getting our heart-pumping on a regular basis. We just finished week 3 with success!
I really challenged myself to change that “back of the class” mentality when I started taking my first yoga class, now I am rigth there in front and I feel better then ever.
I challenge myself every day to be positive and remember my blessings and gifts and not focus on my flaws.
I am trying to improve my running time and am signed up for the Race for Taste at Disney in a couple of weeks! I have to maintain an average speed that is a little faster than the usual for me.
i challenge myself with this EVERYDAY… and when i start slipping it seems everything about me fades as well… the ability to maintain this feeling daily is something that it seems one and to grow to learn
