Is anyone up for Super Skinny Sunday Challenge? I am! I am often tempted to undo everything I worked so hard for during the week on the weekends. Let's do a SSC to keep us focused! I could use some company...are you in?

Here is what it entails...think double, double, double....whew!

Double your exercise today! I am shooting for an a.m. workout and a p.m. workout.
Double your water intake....within healthy limits of course!
Double your effort to eat clean and healthy and log every calorie that crosses your lips!

We can sooooooooooooooo do this! Bring it on Superbowl Sunday!

And....don't forget to check in and out and let us know how you are doing. Take a few minutes to encourage a new friend in the challenge!

    Yay! I'm in (though I'm in Uk - Superbowl means nothing to me!)
    Have already done cardio session at gym, will be heading back later on for a toning session.
    On track for food, and I'll be sticking to my usual water intake which is quite high anyway.
    Loving this as motivation!

    I'm in, Fab! Got your message this morning. I'll be heading out soon to do 3-4 hours of hiking through the snow. I'll check back in later. Have a great day, everyone! :drinker:

    Back from hiking. We ended up cutting it a bit shorter due to the conditions. Everything was either iced over or wet, but we managed to put in a solid 2 and a half hours, so I can live with that. Gonna try to stick to mostly veggies during the Superbowl :tongue:

    Hitting the gym with my teenagers for our usual Sunday workout as a family and my weekly weigh in.
    Then I am supposed to meet some friends at a bar for the festivities. I have already informed them that I can't stay long as I am not able to eat and drink they way they do but I will grace them with my presence for as long as I can tolerate it. I don't want to undo everything I have been working so for. As for Water... if I drink anymore I might float away!

    :flowerforyou: Just checking in...ate out after church at Applebees. Had the grilled shrimp and spinach salad with tomato soup. Still high in cals but I guess healthier than some other choices. No Super Bowl parties to attend which will make it easier to stay on track the rest of the day. Hoping to keep light and up the antie on exercise today. I am in this to win! How about you?! Goooooooooooooooooooooooo team! :bigsmile:

    Have not been online wish I'd seen this. I am having slow Sunday. Cut the end of my thumb quite badly and am feeling rather squeamish. Not like me at all. Spent yesterday at a funeral, I think my reserves are low.


    Onward and upward, Alice

    Just wanted to say thanks for the challenge I would not of accomplished so much if you hadn't posted this. I completed my pm exercise, drank lots more water than I usually do, and I was way under my calories. I hope everyone else was as sucessful or more successful! :bigsmile:
