Ok we are going to start off simple, lets make sure we are getting enough water! To find the minimum amount of water you should be drinking calculate your weight time 2/3 (or .67 for the math challenged like me lol)

So, for me this would be 216 x .67 = 144.72 so 145oz a day...... Thats a lot of water lol


Please post with your total!



Part two of this weeks challenge is going to be the 1000 crunch challenge......the goal in to complete 1000 crunches by the end of the week!

I know it seems like a lot but that's why its a challenge :wink:

Hope you all have a fab & fit week


:heart: Stacy

    Thanks so much posting!! I love challenges to get me going.

    I had thought my water was fine at 8 glasses/day....nope! I rounded mine up to 13 glasses!

    Stacy...yours is 18?!!! You are going to be peeing nonstop!! Lol. I bet we end up eating less bc of all this water in our bellies!

    It all sounds great, and I enthusiastically accept! The crunches are about 143/ day!

    Thanks again and good luck everyone!

    Ok .. Mine comes out to 12.8 so I'm rounding to 13 .. I thought I drank enough but I will definitely try the 13. I'm so excited to do this challenge and just wanted to thank you for taking time out to put it together.

    Curious as to where you came up with that formula for water. According to the Mayo Clinic women, on average, should try to consume about 9 glasses of water. Check out this article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283

    Yes the mayo clinic says for "any average, healthy adult" which for women means someone around 120-130 pounds which would by the calculation that I used would fall in with what they said "The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day."

    I am totally on board with your challenge...One more question: Are we counting just water or all beverages? For instance, I tend to drink green tea and herbal tea while at work and water before and after workouts... I would agree that coffee and soda should not count, but healthy juices and other drinks. What do you think?

    Wow thats a lot of water but I will try to drink 13 8 oz cups a day, as of yesterday I think I drank 5? I know that not enough but that was water only, so if I add my coffee and tea it would be like 8. So I think that I can do it.
    And I am excited about the crunches challenge will be a challenge but I am ready:)

    I need 12 glasses a day, and that's about right on with my intake.

    I will crunch, crunch, crunch. :)

    I have a 32oz bottle of water with me at all times too. I try to fill it up and drink it at least 3x a day. I live in the DC area so traffic here is horrible. I always find myself stuck in traffic and desperately needing to pee!

    1000 crunches? Yikes!
