August, 15-22, 2008 is my week to be host of Scale Junkie’s Summer Blog Party. Thank you Diana for the opportunity to participate.
I have set up a challenge for all readers that can help kick start your weight loss, give you more energy and help you feel great.
The Challenge: 4 miles a day for 7 days
You can do any type of exercise that will equal 4 miles. It does not have to all be completed at once, you can break it up through the day. If you are using a pedometer, approx. 2,000 steps equals ONE mile so your goal each day for this challenge is 8,000 steps a day or 4 miles.
This challenge starts this Friday, August 15th and ends Thursday, August 21st with your final challenge check in to be made on Friday, August 22nd.
Be sure to eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Don’t skip any meals and keep your daily calorie intake in a healthy range.

Hello ladies! How did you do with the challenge? Today is the last day and tomorrow everyone needs to check in to let us know how you did (and also to be put into the drawing).
I’m glad you stepped out of your comfort zone.
Thank you so much for this challenge. Because of it, and the baby plateau I seem to be on, I totally stepped it up a notch. You can see my post from yesterday about my new workout. Okay! So, this is what I did : Every single day ;)….so proud to say that……..I did my Walk Away the Pounds 3-mile super fat blasting dvd with weighted balls in the morning and then after dinner every night, I did the 1 mile. I am soooo excited for my weigh in on Tuesday to see if I broke through my plateau and lost some more weight. I really want to get my 55 pounds lost bling on Tuesday!!!!! I hope everyone else did great. I am going to continue doing 4 miles till I know I am well into breaking thru the plateau. I feel so great too. I am such a dork! I actually love to sweat now! How weird is that?

Annette,
I replied on your blog too but I wanted to say I am so very proud of you for kicking it up a notch this week and sticking with it. You really did a fantastic job and I’m excited to hear about your weigh in too. Rooting for you to get that 55 lbs lost bling (what is that by the way?)
And nope you’re not a dork for loving to sweat. I love it, just makes me feel like I accomplished a lot.
Thanks for checking in with your progress report.
