Welcome to the Challenge

Welcome to the Challenge. That is the 12 week Challenge to becoming a more fit mom. Did you know it takes 12 weeks to make (or break) a habit? My hope is that by the end of this Challenge that I have increased my ability to stick with the new and healthy habits learned during the Challenge. And to shrink a few sizes. And to feel better when I look in the mirror. And to have more energy to keep up with my two kids. I could go on...

You may be wondering, what are the daily goals of the Challenge. I will summarize:

1) Eat 6 meals a day consisting of a portion-controlled protein + carb from the "approved list." Unlimited veggies, so long as they are also from the "approved list."
2) Spend 45 minutes per day in the gym, alternating days of cardio and strength training.
3) Rest on the 7th day of each week, and no restrictions on food (but within reason of course!)

Pretty simple and straight-forward, yes? Oh, you are wanting to know what's on the "approved list" of food you say? I will save that for my next post....
