Hi All Purples! Hope you are doing well meeting your challenges! Here's this week's stats for me:

Mon: 70 minutes, 68 oz.
Tues: 30 min, 68 oz.
Wed: 45 min, 68 oz.
Thurs: 40 min, 68 oz. (I drink the same 2 bottles of water every day, so this is a low estimate)

Totals: 185 minutes of exercise and 272 ounces of H20. Also, 789 calories burned.
Today's weight: 155.2 lbs. I can't believe I lost another little bit!

This challenge has been really been motivating for me!!

for those teammates having trouble with drinking enough water: i bought a refillable water bottle that hold the recommended daily value of water 8 glasses/175 oz at Rite Aid. i know they sell them at k-mart too. I fill the bottle every morning and do my best to finish what it holds by the end of the day. it makes it a lot easier for me becuase i wasn't too good at keeping track just by glasses. drinking a lot of water helps SO MUCH when trying to lose weight even before this weeks challenge i had been trying to drink 8 glasses on a daily basis. good luck & go team purple!

Totally agree. I bought 2 water bottles from WalMart that are 32oz. You get to drinking and don't even realize you've downed 64 oz in the first few hours of the morning. I tend to drink 96oz per day. Better than drinking 5 million glasses/bottles of water every day LOL

Not sure on the water intake-to me that's a challenge and I don't think there was 1 day where I met that goal.

I think I lost 2 lbs. I used my moms scale (which is off) but last week it said 162 and this week was 160 but really it translates to 163.

As far as the week challenge goes. . . did not do well ( mins and calories reflect actual working out not cleaning and cooking)

Monday: 35 mins 225 calories5 glasses of water

Tuesday: 30 mins 149 calories 5 glasses of water

Wednesday: 45 mins 141 calories 7 glasses of water

Thursday: 1 1/2 hours 715 calories 6 glasses of water

This week's challenge has been so much easier for me, but strangely enough I feel like more progress has been made. Is anyone else having this experience. I know that we have all a progressive goal so last week's work is showing this week, but it is sort of taking charge this week.

My challenge info is in my signature, but when I weighed in on Friday I lost 4lb. To me that is amazing, I never thought that I could get that much of a result so quickly, now I just need to continue on.

Thanks for the support, stopping by this site multiple times a day means that I feel your support and efforts.

Terri_39

Ok, I missed the new challenge for this coming week??

If you gain, you gain -- we're here to support you either way

~SommerJo~ Did this challenge start on Friday, because I never saw it. It wasn't on the regular challenge thread. I just found it posted by jrdoty on the Red Spartans team thread for a Friday start. Darn it. I'm three days late!

rschmmidt

Thanks for the new mini-challenge. The sodium thing will be a challenge for sure, but I know how important it is for good health!

Good luck, everybody!!!

I weiner that as well. If it did start on friday im a little late. Lol

SommerJo

Hi guys -- for those wondering -- yes -- jrdoty posted the new challenge on Friday -- I think she only posted it in her forum and the main one. I've reposted it in our forum -- it's in the comments on my profile page and I also put it in the spreadsheet.
