Hey! Just seeing that no one has posted here in awhile, just wondering if y'all needed a little kick in the butt to get going? :)
I suggest we have a couple friendly challenges going on just to keep everyone active :)
Feel free to add in your own challenge here like this:

Challenge 1 - Drink all 8 glasses of water!
Challenge 2- During commercials (While watching tv or during whatever small breaks of about 2 mins each you have time for) Engage in some vigorous cardio! Ex- running on the spot, continuous push ups/sit ups, jumping jacks, burpies... etc..
Challenge 3 - Log every single bite! even the smallest tastes

When you complete a challenge post it here saying Challenge x completed!
These are some pretty basic challenges I think but I thought it would be a good place to start :)
Hope this can get some more energy back into the group and give everyone a nice little push :) I know I need it

Let me know what you think

    Lol... challenge 3 complete! I don't know about 1 - even when it's was 135 degrees here I never got up to 8 cups of water a day... most was 6 I think. I'll have to check. Our bathrooms are a hike to get to and when you have to go it's not a fun trek to get there! I'll do an alternate event for 2 though, whenever I get around a tv.

    Hi guys!

    Challenge 1 and 3 accepted and completed:) Don't watch tv so that one's n/a for me, but I did just do a fitness assessment at my local rec center tonight and it was an awesome workout. Will that do?

    Yeah, getting up to 8 glasses is a real challenge for me that's why I put it on here but hopefully I can make it! Good job!

    I am a consistant no-go for challenges 1 and 2 - but I got 3 down easy!! Not around TVs unless I'm in a dining facility (only time I actually eat in the dining facility is Sun; everyday other day I just take a to go box and bring it to the office). And I have nothing but bottles and bottles of water - I just do not drink enough. My count so far today is 4 cups (or really 2000mL which is slightly over 4 cups) but still no where close to 8!

    Hey Smoke, 8 glasses of water is 2000mL, a metric cup is 250mL so you're doing great!!!!!!

    oh, wow then i'm totally underestimating then!! because each bottle of water here is 500mL - so instead of each bottle being 1 cup it should be 2? Hm...okay. i can live with that. so that means i've already drank 2 bottles=1000mL=4 cups?

    Yes Liz that is right. a standard metric cup is merely 250mL of water and very easy to drink 8 of those a day. Particularly in hotter climates.
