Here are my results from June....
Miles - 60.42
Pushups - 398
Squats - 1,430
Crunches - 1,000
My husband and I along with my parents are starting a challenge for the month of July. It is similar to my other challenges I set each month but this time we will focus on nutrition. So for this month it is NOT about calories but rather eating whole foods, and those that can increase our immune system and contain high amounts of anti-oxidants. Each family member will have a slightly different challenge to meet their needs but we all will be following a variation of the same goals.
And so my challenge is as follows....
1. Fitness - Walk/Run 20 miles per week
2. Strength Training - 3 times a week for at least 30 mins. Aim to do Cathe Drill Max, Muscle Max and segments of P90x.
3. Water intake - consume at least 128 oz of water per day.
4. Take vitamins and supplements every day
5. Aim to loose a total of 3 inches. Focusing on hips and thighs.
6. Crunches/Core Work with and without medicine ball - 2,000 reps for the month.
7. Military Pushups - 300 reps for the month. Variations allowed : Dive bombers, T plank to push up, close grip, diamond and wide fly but all MUST BE standard military. I can not count incline or otherwise.
8. Squats - 2,000 reps for the month. MUST BE full squat either plyo or otherwise.

You have encouraged me to set a list of goals for July. I will think about these and put them in writing by end of the week and start on July 5th! I think it is great to be doing it as a family. I was wondering what type of goals your mom set. I am 53 yrs old so I feel we are about the same age. I know I could not meet all of your goals but probably a few of them! Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration!
all that great food makes me hungry...funny how you crave whole foods when you live a fit lifestyle!
Great goals!
You've also encouraged me to make a July Challenge too. Thanks!!! How great that you and your family are doing this together.
I just stumbled across your blog through one of my followers. You have done such an amazing job! Congrats on your weight loss thus far and congrats on your beautiful baby girl!
Those are some awesome July goals! Best of luck!
