All right, there are 7 components of this challenge this week, and I am going to incorporate the dreaded food diary for this challenge (which is really hard for me to keep up with- hopefully this will get me started again)

1. Drink 9 cups of water every day
2. Post whether you completed the challenge last week (post what your score is- I completed 3 of the 5 components, so my score was a 3)
3. Weigh yourself today and next Saturday- post your total weekly weight loss by next Saturday. If you lost weight, give yourself a point for this challenge
4. Do 60 minutes of any type of weight training
5. Do 150 minutes of any type of cardio
6. Record your eating on your MFP food diary every day
7. Post your top three guilty food pleasures on this thread........

At the end of the week, just add up how many of the 7 items you have completed! Next week we will focus on some new individual exercises... Good luck!

    Ok, I can do this...

    1. Start tomorrow. Should be able to hit 9 cups per day.
    2. Did not complete last week as I was sick.

    4. What do you class as weight training?
    5. That will be easy as we stay fencing again this week!
    6. Had an up and down relationship with this in the past. Aiming to improve so challenge is welcome.

    1. Just saw this...so i'm going to start tomorrow. I should be able to do the 9 cups of water...i just need to add one more 20 oz bottle of water to my normal intake.
    2. I failed miserably last week. I definitely did 2 out of 5. I'm going to give myself the third one as i did 120-150 minutes of regular cardio workouts...and then friday did about 6 hours of slow but fairly continuous walking at the surf expo.
    3. I weigh in on Fridays...and I a 'bad' weekend. So, I'll stick with what I weighed in with last Friday...and will weigh in again this Friday. I'd like to see 1 lb gone, but don't know that it will happen since i lost 1.5 lbs this past week.
    4. Does this mean just do workouts that use weights? I know Comcast On Demand has a section for weight training 'classes', so i'll check out a couple of those...
    5. I may have to double up on some workouts to get 60 minutes of weights AND 150 minutes of cardio. Not sure i'll pull that off.
    6. No problem here. I've been logging pretty consistently.
    7. Ice cream, hot chocolate, sweets in general...i would say popcorn, but that's not all that bad calorie wise.

    fingers crossed for a good week. i got off track on friday with the surf expo...so my weekend was a bit of a mess. back on the wagon today...for the most part. looking forward to working out this week!

    Good start to the day: 25 mins swim in the ocean. I was going for 30 mins (all I could fit in before work due to traffic on first day of school) but I saw a blue bottle. I have been stung before so prefer to avoid repeat performances and quickly got out...

    I'm so sorry I've been slacking on this Challenge. When I went on vacation for 9 days, it was nearly impossible, then got out of the habit of my routine when I got back. NOW I have just started this week with Insanity and hope to stick with it for the entire 2 months. I will try to incorporate it with your challenge, but won't start that until next week. Just trying to get it all back in is a challenge enough for me right now.

    Keep up the great work you all!!!! You're doing awesome!!!!!!! I'll join you again soon!

    1. Doing good with the 9 cups of water.
    4. 40 of 60 minutes of any type of weight training

    Not looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow morning due to TWO big night out this week for birthday celebrations for a friend. Praying that my exercies today...light eating...and lots of water will help.

    I did not complete any of the challenges this week. I took this week to get adjusted to my new work and school schedule. However, I can't wait for next week's challenges!
