Day Four...

...gosh, for some reason this challenge is going by WAY slower than the first challenge. LOL... I wonder why!

Active Challenge:
Set an alarm to go off every hour and stretch or move for at least 1 minute
Didn't do this one properly yesterday as I was actually busy running around in between meetings!

Exercise Challenge:
Take at least 15 or more minutes to perform the exercises shown in this Beginner Strength Workout
This one wasn't too bad so I thoroughly enjoyed it! Ia ua lelei keige strength workout


Flexibility Challenges:
Perform the following stretching exercises twice today:

* Hip Flexor Stretch
* Hamstring Stretch
* Lunge Stretch
* Chest Stretch/Ball
* Full Stretch

I tell you, I never really took these seriously until today but they actually help! I did them only once though so need to make up for that!


Nutritional Challenge:
Research one staple food item in your pantry or refrigerator and determine whether it's healthy or if you need to find a substitute
I chose pasta and found that I could go healthier with whole wheat pasta so I'll check that out next time I do grocery shopping


Mind/Body Challenge:
3-Minute Total Relaxation
Done.

Record your workouts and meals in your journal
Yep!

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:
Still need to do the active challenge and will do that at the same time as today's one. Oh and will do another set of stretching exercises today!

Write down what you found the most challenging and why:
Ummm I think it was my extra task which I set myself that was most challenging. (see below)

List any other tasks you'd like to accomplish in addition to or instead of the challenges listed above:
I went to dinner at a friend's house last night. She's a killer cook at that! I set myself the task to just go there, enjoy the food but not leave with a stomach that could give Santa a run for his money! (aka pa faavalevalea!) It was HARD because she cooked such great food that I just wanted to stuff myself with it! LOL. However, I did well except for the ice cream part! So yay for me!
