So sorry about the delay on this one guys :/ It's been a hell of a week. 

This week's challenge is to try a new form of exercise. Whether that be lifting weights, swimming laps, Zumba, etc. Only requirement is that it has to be something you've never tried before. Let me know what exercise you try and if you liked it/would do it again.

Vegetables are amazing for you! They reduce risk of heart disease, are known to protect against certain types of cancer and can help decrease bone loss. That being said, this week's task is to try a vegetable you have never eaten. For your report, let me know what kind of vegetable you tried, what you ate it with and if you liked it or not. If you need an idea of where to start, try one of these salads from one of my favorite YouTubers, Brenda Lee Turner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr6s3xMZALQ. I had the Asian salad for dinner the other night and it was SO good.

Minimum # of days you need to complete this challenge: 3 (You can eat the same vegetable all three days or try a new one each time. But try and be creative and prepare them different ways. Steaming, baking, roasting, etc.)

Hey guys!

So per request, I am going to compile a list of your guys favorite running songs that you submitted for the bonus challenge last week. The only problem is I got this request after I deleted some of the messages that contained your guys songs haha. So if you submitted songs and they are not on this list (or if you want to add any songs to the list), please feel free to send them in again!

to fill you guys in on a few fun things!

May 26 - June 1 Challenge

Your first physical challenge! This can be done outside or on a treadmill/elliptical.

If you choose to do it on a machine, take a picture after you are finished that shows that you ran one mile and the time you ran it in.

If you choose to do it outside, download an iPhone/Android app that uses GPS to track your route (such as RunKeeper), take a screenshot and send it in. If you don't have a smartphone, I will just have to take your word for it. But PLEASE be honest. Remember, the object of this summer challenge is to push you to be extra healthy this season. 

Whatever you choose to track it, you must include how long it took you to run one mile.

Minimum # of days you need to complete this challenge: 3
