Day Five...

...by far the longest and hardest one yet. Gosh, I didn't know you could vary so much in fitness exercises! LOL. Here's the checklist for today:

Active Challenge:
Accumulate at least 10 minutes of extra walking today
I had so many meetings and deadlines today that I more or less ran around all day, so definitely DONE!


Exercise Challenge:
Do 30-45 minutes (altogether or split throughout the day) of steady-state, medium-intensity cardio.
Did the 35 Minute Cardio Endurance workout. Sweated my butt off here!

Flexibility Challenges:
At least 5 Minutes of Stretching after cardio
Yeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Complete the Seated Stretching Routine
Done!

Nutritional Challenge:
If you eat out, go online and find a nearby restaurant that has their menu and nutritional information listed. Choose a healthy meal before you leave the house
Urgh. I totally failed this one - didn't choose a healthy meal as I went to McDonald's with a friend (only restaurant around and she was hungry!) I ended up ordering large fries only... the consolation being I didn't order a full on menu but eh! can do better!

Mind/Body Challenge:
2-minute meditation
Yep! The easiest one...

Record your workouts and meals in your journal
Uh huh!

If you haven't completed some of the things on this checklist, make a note of what you still need to do and when you'll do it:
Pay special attention to what I eat tomorrow but more importantly how I FEEL before I eat. I was running around all stressed and took it out by succumbing to stupid McDonald's (haven't had any for over 2 months!!!

Write down what you found the most challenging and why:
Definitely, the cardio endurance workout, but was really happy I got it done!


List any other tasks you'd like to accomplish in addition to or instead of the challenges listed above:

Active Challenge from yesterday - yep! stretched every hour for 4hrs today!
Extra stretching from yesterday - added this to the stretching for the day... fairly easy!
