30 Day Fitness Challenge -Day 10

Today’s post is going to be a bit short and sweet, tomorrow’s probably will be too.  I had to take my oldest to the Dr yesterday for fever/sore throat.  Yeap she’s got strep throat.  All the kids plus daddy shared a water jug over the weekend while building fence, so my days are about to get even busier with sick kiddos.  I already have 4 others that I think have got it.

Anyway, for the Fitness Challenge!

Challenge 1:  Active Challenge:  set an alarm to go off every hour and take 1-2 minutes to stand/stretch/walk around.  I so did not do this one!  I rarely get to sit around at all, half the time I’m even standing when typing because the kids are all helping me.  I can honestly say the only time that I was sitting yesterday was when I was driving.  So, check on this one.

Challenge 2:  Exercise Challenge:  Spend 5-10 minutes with a light warm up of light cardio.  They suggested walking in place.  I did some half hearted chasing of kids around the house for 10 minutes in the morning.  Check on this one.  The second half was to do 9 different exercises with a weight.  I do have a pair of 5lb weights, and had planned to use them to do these, but I did not find the time what with taking my daughter to the Dr and having sick kiddos. Non check on this one 🙁

Challenge 3:  Flexibility Challenge:  This came with a list of stretches which I did do in the morning before having to go to the Dr’s.  I was only able to do 3 of the 5 because I do not have an exercise ball, but I’m still giving myself a check for this one!

Challene 4:  Nutrition Challenge:  Cravings. . . . so I did have a craving yesterday. . . and I gave in to it!!!  Yeap fail on this one, lol.  I had a dark chocolate raspberry candy by Dove and it was so yummy.  As for meals. . . . I was not such a good girl here yesterday. I skipped breakfast to get out of the house to get to the Dr’s.  Lunch for the kids was sandwiches with chips, fresh cherries, and carrots.  I grabbed a few cherries(yes I know very bad of me).  Supper was leftover potato salad, lettuce salad, fruit salad, and steaks/brats.  I had a brat and some lettuce salad. 

Challenge 5:  Mind/Body Challenge:  Take five minutes to massage your hands or get a manicure.  Well first, I’ve never had a manicure at all in my entire life.  Second, I did not have a chance to give myself a hand massage.  The only thing I did that was close to this was milking my goats.
