Together WE can do this, we can ROCK the Spring

Transformation Challenge, we can all finish strong and we can ALL hit our goals.

If we want to, we CAN. We can succeed TOGETHER. I have tried several Challenges before and failed. But this is about not giving up, just as much as anything else, and this time I am going to do it. Would love the help and support of anyone who wants a group to join to keep each other going. I spent way too much time trying to find a group for this Challenge, and I couldn't, so I decided to just make one. I have invited everyone on my friends list, because it has always made me feel special to get invites, whether I was able to join the group or not. One group is really all I could ever handle, due to time commitments. If you did not get an invitation I would love to have you join if you would like a group to be a part of.[

Looking good! I really wanted to do nothing today and eat whatever I wanted, but somehow I stuck with it this morning and am better now! LOL! I was still sore from the workout since I'm not used to that. Does that go away after awhile? Just curious. I never actually stuck with it long enough before to find out. I figure when it doesn't hurt then you just have to add more weights or reps or something but I am hoping at some point it gets better. Anyway, I guess I will find out this time!!!

I finally forced myself to do 30 minutes of cardio and I feel a lot better now. And I knew I should have just done it earlier and probably would have felt a lot better THEN! Anyway, meals were good

M1 nutrition shake
m2 applesauce and string cheese
m3 EFL chocolate peanut butter oatmeal (yum!) (one of my favorites!)
m4 whole wheat cereal and milk
m5 peanut butter on whole wheat bread and salad
m6 protein bar

REALLY looking forward to getting some shopping done so I can start fixing some of my favorite healthy recipes. I think that's part of why I didn't want to stick to my "plan" today. Better planning would lead to stuff I would really rather eat! I will get to the store tomorrow for sure!

Hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow!

Hey Carrie...The soreness never goes away but it does get better. Those first few weeks are the most painful. After your brain starts to see a correlation between the muscle soreness and the satisfaction of progress....you'll start to like the pain

Good Morning Everybody ! Hope everyone has a good day today. Keep up the good work...
