Idea is simple, on Wednesday (not really Hump Day this week - but more of a Pre-Thanksgiving Kick It Up)

:heart: :heart: Double your exercise:heart::heart:
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Double your willpower:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Join me in kicking it up a notch before Thanksgiving and rolling into the long weekend strong.

    Count me in. I'm drinking my water, already did one workout (MMA boxing) and I'll do a Turbo Jam workout tonight after dinner, dishes, etc. Working out at night relaxes me and keeps me from snacking too much :)

    Oh, crud. Today's not Wednesday....I'll double up tomorrow, too :blushing:

    I am planning to post it each week on Tuesday for the following day. I was doing this with someone else when I lost previously on MFP and now that I am back, I need that midweek motivation...

    Look for it each week.

    Plus anyone who wants to send friend requests - they are always welcome.

    Let's rock the Mid Week Hump Day!!!

    Hello all

    Still early here on the West Coast so the water has started and the Will Power is definately there as I have avoided the donut box at the office for the third day in a row.....

    Walking at lunch and need to figure out an evening workout tonight.

    Keep strong everyone!!!!! I will check back later

    If you are already at 100 - 125 ounces, I wouldn't double it unless you know for sure it is safe. My doctor says it is really hard to get water poisoning unless you drink litterally gallons all at once. Just to be safe though, maybe just add a glass or two to shake up your routine. Way to go on the calorie burn.....I just can't do it in the AM.
