Would anyone be interested in a hydration goal?
Already on a 6-9 glasses of water per day....so, should be easy??? How about a non-sweet / non-soda goal too???
Carol
Love the no soda idea , so maybe something with drinking more water and no soda for one week and a low carbs/ sugar / sweets goal another week?0 -
Susan...
Sounds awesome!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Susan - you SLAY me with your pics - LOVE IT!!
I haven't had any pop in about 5 years now... (umm.. what my neighours call soda I think lol) BUT I am always dehydrated because I truly struggle with getting enough water in every day... so this is a perfect challenge for me Susan! And challenge it will be for sure... so I will definitely log it and try to get.... lets see... I honestly probably only manage 3-4 glasses/bottles a day... so.... I will challenge myself to 5 a day for my entire dayshift... which runs tomorrow til next Friday... gak... if I get more great, but that 5 a day is going to be a struggle so it's going to be my goal! Thanks Susan! :drinker:
So, there's a few days left for the mini exercise challenge - so far Susan and I have checked in with "DONE!" (yay us lol) but still a few days left to hear from the rest of the hatters who were in... how's it going ladies??? :bigsmile:0 -
i added a new exercise. I got out my bike after several years and went for a ride. I felt great after, but my bum hurts today.
im in for a hydration challenge
a question - I spoke to my gynie and she wants me to do blood tests, but she is thinking that I have caused my estrogen levels to drop (apparently increased exercise will do that) my question is. do any of you increase your estrogen levels naturally? I am not to keen on using medication for this as breast cancer is in my family.0 -

Let's see -
Monday was zumba - 700 calories GONE
Wednesday was run / jog - 3 miles in 44 mins... 12 minute mile.. yes, stronger, faster...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :smokin:
Friday (tonight) zumba - hoping she has a 90 minute class :bigsmile:
Jan - haven't gone to hormone therapy - took birth control pills too long, ended up with blood clots (leg, lung and brain)... major surgery in 2010... so, no ideas my friend.
See you all soon....

I finished my exercise goal for the week. ...3 workouts. ..2 Zumba+ 1 jog (3miles) ...my average pace was about a 12-14 minute per mile... so I'm going to say I completed the challenge and met my goal:-)0

Yay Carol!!!0

Hey ya'll. I haven't read all the posts yet, but Susan's hand caught my attention...I love the pics you find!!
I really need to do the drinking game...lol with water. so I'm in!!
Mom and I are off the find some varnish for an unfinished bookcase I bought...
I will try to catch up on reading the posts later, have a wonderful weekend everyone!!0 -
Glad you all enjoy the pictures
So sounds like this week is hydration week -
Snooozie, sounds like you have your hydration goal set with 5 glasses of water daily
I'm setting my goal for 7 - 8 eight ounce servings of water daily (3 1/2 -4 bottles) and prayin I don't float away lol.
(I have to drink bottled or filtered water here in a Tucson because our tap water is not safe )
Jan and Gail, what water numbers work for you?
Carol: sounds like your hydration goal is no soda- how many days ?
So starting tomorrow ladies , on your mark, get set, GO for the water !!!

Hi Ladies,
My goal is no caloric drinks between Monday and Saturday... I will allow myself one unsweetened ice tea ( with 1 or 2 packets of normal white sugar - not taking any chances with the blue yellow pink or brown packets, based on my major life event in 2010 - real deal or nothing for me) on Fri when I go out to lunch with a friend....(after helping her organize a part of the church for the thift store - I can already fill the calorie burn as I type):laugh:
Thanks again Susan for the idea:flowerforyou:
I will do my zumba on Monday
I will go for a 2 or 3 mile jog on Thursday (since no work on Friday)...:smokin:
I'm thinking about going to church on Wed to see a movie with the ladies from my church group ... but will probably not... popcorn soda and candy oh my.... plus early up on Thurs for work... (wouldn't even be getting home from church until about 10 pm and that's just too late of a night... esp since I leave for work about 7 am)... :bigsmile:
And since church is on the way home from work...that would mean leaving my house at 7 am and not getting home until 10 pm... just thinking about the logistics is making me tired.....:) :noway: :noway:
See you all soon,

I need to get in at least 8...but 10 would be better. so I am aiming for 8 - 10. and keeping up my exercise. With Mom here, we have been deep cleaning my clutter, so I have gotten in exercise, I just haven't log it...
Let's go, We got this!!0 -
Ok, 16 oz. water down, so far.... 16 oz. of cucumber /watermelon water down....equals 32 oz.. 4-6 cups to go...I'm Thinking about blending up some strawberry/ cucumber water.0

Looks like no one is posting today, so I am going to wonder a bit and see if I get a bite...
When you see this posted somewhere:
burned 1,726 calories doing 120 minutes of Mowing lawn, general
Do you assume it is with a push mower or a riding lawnmower...I always think....in todays heat no way!! are they pushing one for 2 hours...and you're not gonna burn 1700 cals. riding on one, I wouldn't think... just wondering...0 -
yippee!!!
i am yippee-ing because I thought I was flunking the challenge... then I saw Susan's post about the bottles of water... and since I drink bottled water, I grabbed one and looked at how much is in it (500ml) then converted it to ounces... and each bottle is 16 oz. which is two cups per bottle.... so I'm NOT flunking after all LOL... hahahahahahaaaaaaaa so thanks Susan - i'm on track phew!!
lol @ Gail - I dunno... I live in the city - nobody has "ride on" mowers cept the mansion owners on the outskirts... most are electric or gas powered here so that would be my vote lol..
an awesome job on the hydration today as well, T2!!
Just finished dinner and am falling asleep on my feet (and it's only 630pm ol)... going to try to head out for a stroll aroun the hood before the thunderbangers hit!0 -
That's great Snooozie - I was kinda wondering when you said glasses or bottles, so glad that got straightened out - looks like this challenge is an easy peasy one for you!
Yay T2 on approaching your goal! And ya never know about those lawn mowers - I knew someone who counted sitting in a boat fishing as like a 900 calorie burn lol
So I'm down 5 bottles -2-3 more to go!!! I'm also personally adding to my water theme one to two water aerobics classes this week lol so I'm off to the pool!0 -
Susan I'm just BARELY keeping my head above water even after realizing each bottle was "2 cups LOL!! Im on my 4th for the day but I'm just thrilled I'm not failing like I first thought when I figured each bottle was a cup lolol!!
AWESOME job on yur water - and love keeping with the theme an the water aerobis!! i'm heading for bed when I'm done this bottle.. keeping in mind Tammys "it doesn't have to be all or nothing" reminder, I was falling asleep in the chair and decided even tho I didn't have it in me to do a long walk, a 40 min stroll after dinner WAS doable... so I hoofed it out and got one in... but I'll probably be treading water in my sleep with all the sloshing going on inside me lol!! Hpe you have fun at the class!!
Nite nite!0 -
NIghty night Snooozie- great job today!!!
ay yai yai, what a day lol - I broke a tooth Saturday, had to cancel tutoring to go to the dentist this afternoon where he bonded a temporary substance to fill the gaping hole til he had time to do crown prep work on Thursday, whereupon said bond chipped off right after appointment,: :grumble: Plus I think I may have some kind of eye infection:ohwell: Nevertheless, I later drove all the way to the spa for water aerobics only to find out the instructor called in sick an hour earlier :huh: , and now went in the fridge to discover I'm out of bottled water :noway: - arggggg! Well, gotta make the best of things, so tried out my new waterproof ipod shuffle and made up my own water aerobics in our community pool ( turns out I'm a mean instructor-pushed myself so hard I got asthma lol) and now jumping in the shower to go buy some more water to meet today's hydration goal. I am woman, I am invincible!:happy: :happy: :happy: 0
