No finish line here

So I just watched Oprah today and she had a man on that weighed over 1,000lbs lost over 700lbs and GAINED IT ALL BACK!!  My heart broke but to listen to him and his outlook on life made me feel better and what I really got from this is something that I tell people all the time and I'm going to tell you right now…..There is NO FINISH LINE HERE!!!!

Calorie burn

Today your Challenge is that you have to do WHATEVER it takes to burn 300 to 500 calories. There are 3500 calories in a pound. Imagine if you burned 500 calories a day for 7 days…that's one pound. So run, walk, bike, spin, kickbox, or anything else but burn those calories…

Meditation

Your Challenge today is to find 5 minutes out of your day to meditate. You can do it anywhere and the benefits are great. Major stress reliever, lowers blood pressure, improves concentration, and improves blood flow. This is one of my favorite challenges…but don't forget to do your regular workout today too…xoxo
