Happy February, people! This week's challenge starts Monday, Feb. 1st and ends Friday, Feb. 5th. The details: Everyone must commit to at least 20 minutes of exercise per day, every day. Any kind of exercise counts, walking or zumba or elliptical or whatever. Whoever accumulates the most minutes wins the challenge, although we'll all end the week victorious.
So far, this challenge includes Cara, Barbara, Jen, Yana, Jennifer, Vanessa and me. If anyone else wants to join, please do. The more, the merrier.
When you've completed your exercise for the day, update me with your info on that day's post here.
Looking forward to getting moving with you!

In other news, something strange happened today. I wasn't much interested in food. At all. It was kind of that way later in the day yesterday too. I have to think hormones are involved here somewhere, because my cravings fell off a cliff. Boom, just like someone flicked a switch.
I'm not going to overanalyze. I'm happy with it. Scale is holding steady (it took back those three pounds and apologized for the misunderstanding). I ate really well today. Didn't exercise, though - the challenge will light a fire under my lazy butt.
The party last night was great - awesome reggae band, good wine, nice people. Judging from the showing at the party, it's amazing to me how many men have Hawaiian shirts in the back of their closets. Especially in New England. My husband (who has two, and trust me, he's not exactly good-time Charlie) claims that every gentleman should have at least one Hawaiian shirt and a tuxedo in his wardrobe. There's something to ponder.
The whole point of mentioning the party was to say, I did awesome with the food. I had a turkey and cheese roll-up before we left the house, and then had three appetizer-size crabcakes. I did also have two large glasses of pinot noir, so it wasn't a fantastic *calorie intake* day. But at least I didn't pile tons of food on top of the wine. Baby steps, right?
Cara, GOOD LUCK starting your course this week. You will be brilliant! Be sure to let us know how it all goes.
