    Thanks momwa,
    also I start each workout day with a total 7-9 cups of water before/during/after workout, then usually get about 2-4 more throughout the day.

    Wellllll, I thought this started tomorrow but already have my water in for the day, but will have to opt for the crunches since I cant do jumping jacks with my back issues. But I need to tone my core so the crunches would be a good thing for me!! Best of luck everyone!!

    I just joined this group and I think the mini challenges may be just what I need to stay motivated . . . I'm working on the water, and I think I'm going to opt for the crunches . . . I live in a second floor apartment and I don't think my downstairs neighbor would appreciate jumping jacks!

    50 jumping jacks done for this morning.

    I think I might alternate and do 50 jumping jacks in the morning and 50 sit ups at night.

    My issue is going to be drinking that much water, without spending the whole day in the toilet. :smile:
