Hey You!
Diggin’ on the idea of joining me in this 30 Day Fitness Challenge? Here are more deets!
I am officially kicking it off today which is, September 1st here on LifebyLori.com, but if you catch this post afterwards, please feel free to jump in and join anytime!
Why I’m Doing a Fitness Challenge
- Feel good emotionally- boosts endorphins which means I am more pleasurable to be around. I just beam good vibes!
- Feel good physically- clears out aches and pains and gives integrity to the structure of the body
- Feel mentally clear & able to focus- the increased blood flow is going to the brain that stimulates mental function, because I am fully engaged in my workout my mind has to get off it’s little hamster wheel of repetitive thoughts to focus in what I am doing.
- This builds mental muscles of attention, focus, and presence.
- 30 days is just long enough to stay focused and to get in the routine of establishing healthy habits
- Involving community helps me stay accountable
- Doing a challenge with others is fun
- It gives us a reason to come together

Thanks for the awesome challenge and inspiration! Yesterday I played sand volleyball and didn’t give up even when it got really windy and looked like it would rain. Still had a great workout and appreciated how cooling the wind was!

I took a mile walk this morning and a short walk with my husband in the afternoon. I also did a lot of housework. I drink about 2 liters a day of water, its probably too much since its not hot in England.But I feel it if I drink less than that. My favorite sports drink is coconut water!
September 2, 2011
I love turning up the music loud and dancing while I clean house and mop the floors!!! Cleaning is definitely a great workout if you get into it! 2 L doesn’t sound like too much water at all! The average is anywhere from 1/2 to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight. So for example… I weigh 120. I would drink anywhere from 60-120 ounces of water a day. I also drink green smoothies and eat lots of water rich foods.

Great first day of the Fitness Challenge! 1 mile walk in the morning, a sweaty hour of cycling at noon, 1 mile walk in the evening. Feeling really great! I drink about 64 oz water each day and 48 oz luscious green smoothie. I love water for hydrating during and after workouts. Every once-in-a-while I will have coconut water.
