Sounds good! Drinking water is always a challenge for me so I'm looking forward to this challenge Thanks!

Water - 64 oz (according to calculations I s/b @ 115 oz / day)
Exercise - 22 minutes

I tried to watch your video but it says no video found, I don't know if that was just me though because I am trying to view from my phone. And the other links didn't work for me either! But I'm sure I can just Google water intake.

Can't wait to get started!

That is a lot of water! wow -- My calculated water intake with an hour of working out this morning are:

136 ounces! I am drinking another litre of water before bed so I should be at 139 oz before sleep. Though I'll probably be up 10 times tonight to use the bathroom -- but that's exercise! :bigsmile:

Also I had no issue with the video -- it was great!

I did not so great on water today. I drank 68 oz but I should be drinking 122.

I rode my bike today for about 30 minutes (a rarity in January!), walked my dog (20 minutes), and went to Zumba (60 minutes).

Wow I was really not getting enough water! ;-)

Yes, I was afraid that it would not work on the phones, i will do some research and see how to get the videos on the phones also. Sorry about that.

I didn't get a chance to check out the weekly challenge last night so I will do it first thing this morning. I have a nasty cold so didn't get the exercise in. I got in pretty good water, but not where it should be. I'll check out the challenge and double up efforts today... cold or no cold!:bigsmile:

My calculated water intake amount is 124 oz. Let's see how that goes today! I am starting off the morning with 16 oz od H20

Holy cow, according to this site I should drink almost 4 liters a day!!
And I thought that with my 8-10 glasses (2-2.5 liters) I was good...
Okay, I will try to increase my water intake during the week, but I doubt I can reach 4 liters...

So far no exercise minutes for me (still on sick leave), but I will try to do some Pilates later.

Mimi - get well soon, and don't overdo it! I tried to be back too early and promptly had a relapse :-(

I got in my water and did 20 minutes of boxing [punching bag]

Ayesha4417

Wow, 172 ounces? I definitely need to increase my intake!

Went to the gym today for 30 minutes of combination cardio and strength.

11 glasses and 30 minutes of Pilates :-)

After some debate, I dragged my butt out of bed this morning and ran on the treadmill. I made it 3.5 miles in 40 minutes. I would love to run an 11 minute mile but am firmly at 11.5 for now. I can run the first mile in 11 minutes but can't really maintain it for longer than that. One step at a time, right? Literally!!!

I am up to 68 oz. of water. I'll drink more when I get home.

Love the video
wow cant believe how much water i should be drinking, iwas falling foul of the 8 glasses, but really pushed it up a gear today, carring my bottle with me all day, i know how many time i have to fill it to meet my quota. Driving and needing to pee dont work very well though.
Exercise ive managed 30 mins so far.
should be able to fit in 200 this week.

Thanks for your get well wishes. It's funny how something like a ordinary cold can make a person so tired. I didn't push it today but will put in some longer workouts this week to make sure I get my 200 minutes. I ended at 86 oz. of water today.
