    WEDNESDAY:


    It is early on Wednesday, but I am at work for a 16 hour shift, so I am going to get in my post while I can.

    I am well on my way to 10 cups of water, 3 down already and have the whole day left. I am sure this one won't be a problem today.

    45 mins of cardio- :( Due to my schedule today I will not be getting in the exercise. Hoping that I will have enough energy wheN I get home at 10pm tonight that I can atleast get in a few minutes with Wii fit

    I have obviously not eaten all of my food yet today, but it is all preplanned out and brought with me. The good thing is that the only food options I have today is waht I packed, so there is no chance I will "cheat" or go over my calories for the day.

    BONUS: My weight loss will affect my life in several ways, the most obvious being improved health. One of my biggest motivators for weight loss is so that I can be more involved in physical activities with my kids. This weekend we are going away and have planned a full day of snowshoeing and geocaching (look it up online if you don't know what that is, it is a great family activity that gets you outside and moving). This weekend is something I never would have planned a year ago.

    unfortunately failed on all challenges yesterday (tuesday):blushing: shameful start i no But the rest of the week will be much better

    I failed on Tuesday, I was way over on my cals & not enough water drunk.

    Right today i have planed my food out & it looks like i will be under. I have still got my exercises to add in which means i just need to make sure i don't end up being to far under cals.

    Did 12 cups of water exactly.
    Did 1 hour 5 minutes of exercise yesterday.
    Was under calories.

    I did the challenge because it's a great way to track progress (other than doing it on your own) and I think it's a great way to chat it up with others who are doing the same!

    THAT IS AWESOME!!!

    Tuesday Challenge:

    12 cups H2O - Done, was I the only one that had a hard time with this?
    45 min activity - Done, it was my rest day but I put in 20 minute light elliptical in morning and got my *kitten* out office for a 35 minute lunch walk. I wouldn't have done the walk if not for the challenge.
    Caloric - stayed under on calories that was easy since I have been increasing my intake over the last week.

    Bonus: I joined because this looked like a realistic and fun challenge. It should fit well with my major goal to loose fat not muscle.

    Already have my 45 minutes of cardio for today time to start drinking water (yuck)

    Good luck everyone,
    Daniel

    I failed at all the challenges yesterday :( water- I WILL drink 10 cups today :). Exercise was tough because I started working with a new client yesterday so time was a little tight and it was RAINING, hard. I didn't get to walk and when we got home it was homework and bed for my daughter... Calories- I was doing really good until dinner- even after dinner I was doing okay, then I opened an evil package of truffles a coworker had given me for valentines- I just wanted to try one! UGH! I need to give the rest away!!! I will do better today- Thanks!

    12 Cups Water! - I got 8 cups in yesterday, which is actually less than I usually get. But honestly, I was kind of water-drowned from the 20 cups I had the day before (I ate really sodium full things this weekend and was just THIRSTY).

    45 Minutes activity--- (you choose today! Report what you did,. If you need to break it up into 15 minute segments!) - I didn't manage this either. I wish there were more hours in the day. :-/

    Under Calories! - I did get this done! I was 194 under.

    Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge?

    Even though the VDay challenge didn't get me 10 pounds lost, it was a kick in the butt and a daily reminder to DO IT. I've got 27 more pounds to go, so if I can lose 12 by Easter I'm going to be really close!

    My Tuesday Results:

    45 Minutes Exercise: Check! I got 2 hours in !

    Under Calories: Yes, I actually just finished my diary from yesterday

    12 Cups Water: Check....13!

    Why did I join? -- Well, I made this challenge b/c I have made some awesome accountability buddies by doing these. On days where I feel unmotivated, I can come here and read all of YOUR wonderful successes and think, "man, I need to get going!"

    I am loving what this is doing for me! Smaller clothes, a new found self-worth, more energy, the list could go on and on!

    Cups of water: 8 cups
    45 min of exercise: no =( had way too many chores to accomplish unfortunately
    Under calorie goal: YES!!
    Bonus: I chose this challenge because I need something that will help me stay on track! I am going to Vegas in June with my husband and some other couples and I really want to look amazing!! I am hoping to be at my goal weight of 120 by then! If not the weight, then a size 2/4 is what I am really wanting... I am only 5'3" so I know this goal is attainable, if I just put my rear in gear!! All the support is so wonderful! Yall are all amazing!
