Yesterday I went to the heath-club and I can't believe what I did to meet this challenge I got in on my MyFitnessPal.com where I keep my food and exercise diaries.  1 of my knee was a little wobbly sometime at a dinner at my Mom's place, but it is OK this morning. To meet goal of my challenge of 360 minutes this week, I did 25 min on Elliptical; 50 min on bike & 72 min on weights which equals 147 min & 1509 calories burned per my HRM. WhoooohooI felt soooo good!  This was a all time high for me in one workout session & I lived!!

I may try to make that a goal of mines when I am able to go to gym on a Saturday or Sunday.  To just do a marathon workout..I would have never even attempted this if I was not pushing myself to reach challenge goal.  I have entered many of these challenges in the last 3 months and so far I have never reached goal and I am determine to reach this one this week. 

The other thing is I went to my Mother's place where they had the standard southern Sunday fare (which is very fattening) and I was determined not to out eat my workout!  I did good over her place and was under my calories.  The only healthy items there were the string beans and turkey.  And since she kept asking me to take a plate home, that is what I brought home.  I had small portions of some of the other favorites but refused to bring any of it home for today. 

I also entered another challenge on that board this month and I am going to reach it too!  It is a weight challenge.  My goal in that challenge is to lose 7 pounds this month.  If I keep exercising 360 min per week and clean eating most times I will reach this goal also.  I am going to do it! 

I like these challenges because they give me accountability because I have to check in and others inspire me to do more.  Even not making the goals when I do the challenge is good because I have a goal to reach for.
Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for your support!!
