1. Exercise 3 of 5 days
2. Drink 8 glasses or more of water/liquid

Looking forward to see who is in and who is successful.

Now if you fall off don't stop...record it and move on - THIS IS A JUDGE FREE ZONE where mistakes happen.

    so far so good for the week for me. Monday was a struggle (emotionally) but I went to the gym yesterday (Zumba last night) and today. I am so far under calorie goal, drank my water, and tracked - happy hump day!

    I didn't get out to the gym for the past two days, but it's not my fault--there were tornado warnings! I stayed within my calorie limit and drank plenty of water though.

    Today I'm planning on hitting the gym with my gym buddy. If she can't make it, I'll look up an exercise routine online (which may be hard, since my computer room has very limited space available).

    I'm also going to look into the free classes offered by my university's fitness center. I've heard a lot about Zumba, and want to get involved!

    Great job everyone! I have hit all aspects so far with my water and exercise and love reading the progress of everyone. @firstloveyour I understand about tornado warnings and do not blame you there. I live in an area where they will start very soon.

    Stay safe.

    Day 6
    No exercise today and I'm only down 6 glasses of water. I did drink a 32oz fountain diet coke though so I guess I got my liquid in at least.

    Well according to WW that is a measurable liquid (haha not that I haven't spent hundreds of $ to know) way to go on the H2O!
