I've been with NF for over a yr now and finally after implementing and trying I found my groove and what 100% works for me (after a lot of trial and error). That's when I decided it was finally time to try out a 4 weeks challenge to add to my motivation level and have even more accountability. Main goal, lose 5 lbs or at least continue to see signs of toning and shrinkage in my body appearance in this 4 weeks Make it a consistent goal to utilize mymacro+ to keep track of my macros plans each day (aka sticking to my macro diet that is working for me) Do yoga every day (this has really helped with keeping my lower back stretched out and pain free) Rotate between body weight workout and interval training w/basketball (or quick HIIT training on really cold days) - 4 day workout plan with 2 rest days Make it a natural thing to weigh myself on Mondays Spend more time as a family Stick to a schedule of a morning routine at 4:20-5am and working between 5-9am on work days. Make it a point to stop working at 9am Finally get through all REI training to start being able to do REI wholesaling with my business partner Finish REI websites Finish watching the REI marketing training Finish watching the BNB training

I am back! This is perfect timing for this 4 week challenge - I want to go on my vacation feeling like I accomplished something! I am healing nicely from the shoulder injury, my ankle is wonky, but I've got a nice brace for it, and no more scarlet fever! I dogsat all this week for a friend, so I have been off my routine. (workouts, sleep AND food!) I am done as of Friday, and trying a new class (Barre Above) so in this next challenge I'll be incorporating a new workout! Here we go....! Main Quest: 1- walk at break at least 4 days per workweek 2- go to the gym at least 3 days per week (when I get THAT down pat, I'll modify to add specific activities, as i am aiming for these to be mostly BEFORE WORK time of day - a challenge for me!) 3- go to zumba/barre at least 3 days per week 4- get back into the habit of logging all my meals - with the help of a little gadget I just had to have, by the end of this challenge I will be drinking at least 2 liters of water per day, outside of what i drink working out. When i have mastered this I will increase my water goal. In the bigger picture, i would like to lose 8-ish lbs by the time I leave for my first trip (early June, so about a month) and I'd like to lose around 12 lbs before my following trip, around the end of June. I do not currently have a scale (mine died so ordering today) So it should come just in time for me to weigh myself in. I also plan to measure, because although I will cry and complain when I do not like the numbers on the scale, I do realize that other factors (measurements, how your clothes fit, how you feel etc) are just as if not more important. I am hoping to expand my AM gym time to 5 days per week so I can do weights there at least three times per week (since I do so much cardio with my classes etc) but I will wait a week to refine that
