    2. I exercised for 78 minutes & 107 minutes each day total (out of 90 mins each day)
    3. I completed my log but went over big time.. (daily calorie goal is 1500)

    Thursday night I passed out before 9pm. It felt good to just let loose and surrender to how tired I was! But it meant that I didn't check in with this challenge and yesterday was Homecoming so you know how that goes...

    As of October 17th this is how I am doing with my challenge:

    1. I had 128 oz of water (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 120 minutes today (out of 90 mins)
    3. I am going to eat more than my original 1500 cals because I am upping my workouts (daily calorie goal is 1500)
    4. I completed my food diary as honestly as I could today.

    my starting weight is 192 and I have a cute red shirt I would like to fit into. Thanks for this challenge that I will report on daily.

    This morning when I got on the scale and realized I haven't lost any weight for a month I asked myself "What am I doing?" I am working out like a mad-woman but staying up late and eating! For what? Tomorrow my reminder will go off that says I should weigh 175 according to MFP. I am 190 today.
