First Week of Workout Challenge

One of my favorite things to do is hike, walk, or run through the mountain trails. It helps, when the view is nice!

So, last week I shared about my workout challenge with the weekend mom (see http://theweekendmom.wordpress.com/the-challenge/ ). I am working out every day for at least 45 minutes (with just a very light work out on Sundays, since it is my day of rest). In addition, my dorm happens to be having a biggest loser challenge. As part of the dorm challenge, I cut out sweets and sodas. So, did it help? Yes, it did!! I lost eight pounds during my first week of the challenge. It was hard to find time for my workouts in the midst of final projects, but spending time in the outdoors to get in shape made me calmer and more energized, when it came time to do my work. I am well on my way to reaching my goal weight!
