WEEKEND CHALLENGE- Maximum Push ups!

Post by Shannon

It's Friday! Every Friday we have a WEEKEND CHALLENGE! The challenge for this week is to see how many push ups you can do in a row!

History behind the challenge:

Yesterday I was doing push ups in my workout. I was excited because my push ups are getting a lot better and becoming easier each time.

When I started this journey last September, I could barely do a push up on my knees! I even did the first month of the Insanity program twice because I was so bad at push ups! Now I can do "real" push ups without any problems!

I love feeling stronger and more fit!

Let us know how you do this weekend! Patrick and I will tell you are results too!

Have a great weekend!!

A Day in the Life- Believing You Can Do it!

Post by Shannon


The hardest part about getting healthy and fit is believing you can do it!

After I had my first daughter, I felt so discouraged and depressed. I got up to 199 when I was pregnant with her. When I came home from the hospital I weighed 188. I have always been between 130-135. This was so discouraging to me!

Some people have babies and lose the weight quickly and others have to work for it. I'm in the "you have to work REALLY hard for it" category!

The good news is that I got down to 137 before I got pregnant with my second.

Then, during my second pregnancy, I got back up to 196. Now I'm down to 139 eight months later. This wasn't easy to accomplish for me. I wasn't perfect through this journey, I'm still not perfect at it! I have treats once in a while, and sometimes I even miss my workouts, but I'm consistent and I believe I can do it! That's the only thing that matters because I've gotten results.

BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT

The thing that has pushed me to reach my goals more than anything is believing that I CAN do it. I believe that ANYTHING in life is possible if you set your mind to it!

For example, when I was in grade school, I hated running. I dreaded it every time we had to run the mile, and I wasn't good at it either!

I made a goal to run a marathon. This is crazy if you hate running!! I wanted to do something that would challenge me physically.

So I borrowed a book about how to train for a marathon (since the Internet wasn't very popular yet in 1998!), and started training when I was 18. I signed up for the St. George marathon every year for four years. I didn't run it the first three years because I got scared and my running partners kept bailing!

Finally the fourth year when I was 22, I trained the best I'd ever trained. I ran two half marathons and a 20 mile race before the marathon. My running partner bailed again, but that didn't stop me this time. I ran the full marathon! It was amazing! I felt like I could do anything at that point!

THE MORAL OF THE STORY

So the moral of the story is that you CAN do it! You can do ANYTHING in life if you believe you can. You have to believe it too. It can't just be believing you can do it when it's convenient. You have to keep believing even when it gets tough, you get discourage or depressed. You HAVE to keep going!

WEEKEND CHALLENGE- Do an activity outside!

Every weekend we have a WEEKEND CHALLENGE! This weekend our challenge is to do an activity outside! Go outside and get some fresh air!

This is Patrick and our daughter last summer. We love going to the park, playing soccer, running, playing on the playground, going swimming, taking a walk, going snow and water skiing, etc. 

So this weekend, if the weather nice in your area, spend some time outside doing something active. You can go on a walk, play a sport, go to the park, etc. Think of something you like to do outside and do it with the people you care about.

Enjoy your weekend being healthy and fit!

WEEKEND CHALLENGE- Sleep 8 hours!

This is our daughter when she was 3 months old. :)

Each weekend we have a WEEKEND CHALLENGE to help everyone to make little changes in their lives to help them be healthy and fit.

This WEEKEND'S CHALLENGE is to sleep 8 hours each night this weekend. My husband and I have been struggling with this one lately! We have a 2 1/2 year old and a 7 month old, and our baby isn't very good at sleeping at night!

So we are giving you this challenge, and us, to sleep at least 8 hours a night each night this weekend. It counts even if the hours aren't continuous! :)

Most people don't get enough sleep. Look at the chart below to see how much sleep you and your children need each night.

Let us know how it goes!
