Since we are starting our challenge tomorrow for those of you BRAVE enough :) I wanted to get some guidelines inplace.
Start date: Monday June 21, 2010 - the challenge lasts 4 weeks!
We will take our weights and measurements on Day 1 and you can take them no more than once per week.
We will follow the meal plan from the Kind diet book by Alicia Silverstone. You can be a flirt, a vegan or a superhero or a combination of the three. It is up to you. If you only want to follow along for one week or one or two meals per day, that is fine, it is up to you. Make the plan work for you.
Exercise every day for at least 30 mins. It can be any type of exercise you want. If you need ideas, let me know. I can help. Walk, jog, run swim, bike, DVD's or go to the gym. Whatever you like to do and enjoy doing. Take one rest day per week. On this day go for a shorter, slower walk or stretch.
So, there it is. We will look better, sleep better and most definitely feel better after 4 weeks of this plan!
If you have any questions, you can post them here or on the Feeling Fit with Dana facebook page! I'll get them answered as soon as possible.

Friday Challenge - it's a doozy!
It is Friday! Whoo-Hoo! We are heading to the lake for Father's Day and will have so much fun on the water and celebrating! Can not wait!!
Friday Challenge:
This is a good one! If you have wondered about a vegan diet, then this is the challenge for you! I am going to host a one month vegan/exercise challenge! We can post here and on my Feeling Fit With Dana facebook page.
I will be following the Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone's meal plan. We will do some form of exercise, can be whatever you like to do - walking, running, biking, DVD's or going to the gym. Whatever you will do on a daily basis.
We are going to start on Monday June 21, so you have time to pick up a copy of the book and get your groceries.
Now, you can participate for a few days or the whole time. There is no pressure, it is just to see how great you can feel when you eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables!! You really will look better, feel better and even sleep better!
Keep a food and exercise journal, try some new recipes and see if it works for you!
So, who is in?
Discussion: Do you have special plans for Father's Day weekend? Any traditions you participate in? We usually go to the lake and have a big cookout. I really wish I could see my dad more often! Love you Daddy!!!

Mood Lifters and Cute Socks by Karen Neuburger
Lately I have found that I am in need of a mood lift. I think being home for sooo long and Brian's condition has affected my moods. I'm usually a pretty upbeat, happy and positive person. Lately, I'm tired all the time, mad or just plain ol' depressed. So, I'm looking around for ways to improve my mood.
MUSIC - putting on my ipod and dancing around the house always can make me happy. I love all kinds of music and will sing along with the best of them. This even seems to be improving Brian's mood LOL! He's laughing at me singing along with the ipod. Surely it isn't THAT bad???
CUTE SOCKS - I got these adorable socks and am really enjoying them. Karen Neuburger Pure Comfort socks are enriched with Aloe vera and Vitamin E. These have made my dry heels much better and they hold up well in the wash. The aloe vera and vitamin E will last for 20 washings. I've washed mine several times and they are still leaving my feet soft, but not greasy! This would be a great stocking stuffer for Christmas! $8 retail value! Cute socks are a true mood lifter!
SUNSHINE - it seems that Brian and I missed most of the summer. Stuck in the hospital and then indoors during the best part of the summer. I love the hot weather, going to the lake and just enjoy being outdoors. Swimming, walking or biking, anything outdoors is good to my mood! Brian ordered me the HDvision sunglasses. I really like them too! Perfect for being outside in the sun! I hope that we have a mild winter (we have heard a wet, cold winter is in store for us UGH!) and little snow.
COOKING/BAKING - I LOVE to cook and bake. I have been enjoying some great cookbooks lately. I just got Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet and really like all the recipes I have made so far. Rustic Pasta was amazing! I can't wait to make the peanut butter cups. 
These are just a few of my favorite mood lifters. What do you do to get in a better mood? Be sure to visit Karen Neuburger!!!

EXERCISE - nothing make those endorphins raise like exercise. I've been doing the Insanity workouts with my workout buddies! The more I sweat, the better I feel
FAMILY/FRIENDS - being with my favorite people will raise my mood leaps and bounds. Having the kids over and taking care of Madelyn one day a week is helping. Going out with friends is also a great time! It's a nice break from the daily routine!!
