Welcome Back To Week 7 Check-In and CONGRATULATIONS on the beginning of Week 8! You have come so far!
1 WEEK LEFT! I can not believe that 7 weeks have gone by so fast! How are you feeling? Have you seen any changes in you life?
I was searching for some inspiration for the challenge this week on the Kristi Approved Blog because they have lots of exercises on their site and I was thinking about adding a challenge about resistance training or something like that. And then I came across this article called Why Exercise Won’t Make You Thin. This is a really interesting article! It discusses some popular thinking and really changed my perspective on exercise.
If you are starting late, Welcome! Go here for the Fitness Challenge details, guidelines, point tracking sheets, tips, etc. Make sure to look at the bottom of this post for Week 8’s Bonus Points!

Week 8 Bonus Points: (2 ways – can do both) ***Way #1: Eat your 1st meal within an hour of waking up each morning. In response to “why?”, I want to know why you think so. Leave a comment below – not required (click the title if you can’t see the comments.) I’ll leave my response there. (1 points for each day = max 7 points for the week) ***Way #2: This part was inspired by the article I mentioned above, Why Exercise Won’t Make You Thin. To finish strong and enforce our healthy eating continue keeping a daily food journal. (1 point for each day you keep your food journal = Max 7 points) So, you have a chance to get 14 bonus points this week! Woo Woo!

May 23, 2011 at 1:22 pmOn days that I eat breakfast within an hour to hour and a half of waking up I’m not as hungry and don’t snack before lunch time. But on days that I wait a couple of hours before I eat, I snack all day. Crazy!!!

May 23, 2011 at 9:49 pmYeah, I agree with Cindy – it helps get your metabolism going.
For me, I don’t have a lot of energy until I eat breakfast, so I always eat within an hour of waking up just so I can have the energy to get going with my day!
And…. UGH! Food journaling again! So annoying….. but very very good for me! 🙂
Can’t believe this is the last week! What will I do after this?!? I’ll have to search the bloggy world for someone else doing a health-related challenge! Let me know if you see any! 🙂
