    Hello All, and happy Wednesday to everyone!

    10 cups of water - done
    45 mins of cardio- not done. ugh @ myself
    Under Calories- yes


    Bonus: Tell how taking steps to become more healthy will affect your life, family and friends!

    I need to be able to love myself and not feel insecure and more confident. This will impact my entire life and all my relationships.

    10 Cups Water
    30 Minutes Cardio: 15 minutes short, but it is a start.
    Under calories
    Bonus: I am just trying to become more health conscious about food and exercise. I have finally reached the point in the last year where I can't eat anything and everything anymore, so this is a big change. Thanks for all the support!

    Ok.... Wednesday's Challenge

    10 cups water - check!
    30 minutes on the Curves Circuit -15 minutes short =(
    (Actually I did play an hour on Wii Sports with my hubby and oldest son, I will be feeling that in the morning!)
    Came in well under on my calories!

    I think this will effect everyone in my family. I have an adoring husband who thinks I am beautiful and 7 awesome kids! BUT... when I am eating healthy and feeling healthy (and have more self-confidence), it effects me physically, mentally, and spiritually! I will be an even BETTER mama and BETTER wife! Sometimes it's so hard, but it will be sooooo worth it!

    10 Cups Water - 8 right now, but gonna finish Part 2 of my workout this evening, so I should get there no problem. I think my bladder is expanding.

    45 Minutes Cardio! --(Go to a class at the gym if you have a membership! or Take a long walk!) - Just finished 30 mins, but gonna do at least another 20 mins after American Idol ;)

    Under Calories - For the time being I'm 40 cals over, but I should get under before the end of the day

    Bonus: Tell how taking steps to become more healthy will affect your life, family and friends!

    What I'm hoping will happen is that I'll actually like seeing the image that's looking back at me in the mirror. My hubby and I are trying to conceive and my doc told me that I should lose weight first. We really wanna have a baby and I wanna be as healthy as I can for a baby. AND I've always hated shopping cuz nothing I put on fits or looks good on me so I never really benefit from having a girl's day of shopping and fun.

    10 cups of water YES
    45 mins of cardio NO tonight was my daughters birthday dinner so i could not squeeze it in!! ugh hate loosing!
    under calories YES

    Bonus: Taking these steps to becoming a healthier individual is wonderful. Going cold turkey is hard and normally does not stay successful but going into it with the steps taking each day at a time its easier for the transition to becoming a healthy individual! also showing my children it can be done and watching as they like the good stuff more and more makes me feel fabulous!!

    10 cups of water- Done
    Only 30 min of cardio, but this is so much better than my usual ( which is nothing). Exercise for me is the hardest part of loosing weight.
    And under my calories!!! TYhis was very hard, my family went to a buffet last night, but I stuck to the salad bar and one piece of baked chicken.


    Thanks everyone for the motivation!

    OH my goodness, I'm loving this!!

    There are so many of you ahead of me and ASKING FOR a CHALLENGE!!! Sweet!!


    I'll try to post a little more in advance especially since we have some people from the Eastern Hemisphere joining us! I know you all are a day ahead of the USA. So....

    Here we go...

    THURSDAY CHALLENGE:

    10 Cups Water
    Under Calories
    45 Minutes Exercise..(Include 10 minutes strength/or resistence training today. This can be lifting weights, pushups, situps, lunges, squats, etc.... or just use some canned foods and do some arm work! )



    FRIDAY:

    10 Cups Water
    Under Calories
    45 Minutes Cardio--- Try to do something outside... Depends on where you are at the moment.. Have a snowball fight, or rake leaves (I did this Wednesday)., or walk the dog.. Chase your kids at the park....

    BONUS: Try 25 Push-ups... You can split these up if needed and do 5 at a time. Also, do what you can, start on the wall and do wall pushups, or girlie, or go straight GI Joe and do Military or Diamond pushups!! Report how that went for you!!



    SATURDAY CHALLENGE:

    10 Cups Water
    50 Minutes CARDIO! (You can do this!!)
    Under Calories

    **Bonus---Eat back at least HALF of your exercise calories. For example if you burn 600 calories in exercise eat back at least 300 of those.


    SUNDAY:

    This is my rest and relaxation day. If you choose to exercise that's up to you.

    I do encourage some "ME TIME" every Sunday. I find that reading a book, your Bible, or taking a bubble bath are really nice. Yoga is a great way to relax, focus on yourself, and soothe those probably aching muscles. (plus you'll get a bonus calorie burn)



    Still drink 10 Water
    Under Calories!




    OK< i hope this catches us up for a few days!
