All right, everyone... my goal for March is to have many of us post our points. With that being said, I am going to borrow a challenge from a friend who posted the first challenge I ever really got into.. It will be simple, but intensive....

1. Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day- One Point For the week if you do this
2. Work out every day for 30 minutes (1 point for each day you do this) For every day you work out for over 60 minutes- give yourself 2 points a day!
3. If you stick to your diet for 5 out of 7 days, give yourself 1 point. If you make it for all 7 days, give yourself 2 points for the week.
4. Every Monday, weigh yourself. For a loss, give yourself 4 points. If you maintain, give yourself 2 points. If you gain, 0 points.

Total points you can earn each week is... 21

Let's make it happen!!!!

    water shouldn't be an issue.

    i'm off to a bad start this week with exercise b/c i was sick on Monday. :(

    should be ok sticking to my diet for most days of the week. i'm usually under my calorie goal.

    the weigh-ins are tough for me since i only lose weight like once a month if i'm lucky. i just went down 1.8...so i don't expect another loss for a couple weeks...or unless i starve myself! ;) it's really hard loosing the last 5 lbs.

    Week 1:

    1. Water - 0 PTS - i'm pretty sure i did NOT drink 8 cups EVERY day this week. So, today is a new day and a new week. hopefully i'll get my point this week. :)

    2. 30 mins workout each day - 6 PTS - worked out 4 of 7 days which is bad but i was sick Monday...but Fri and Sun i worked out more than 60 minutes...i included some crazy heavy gardening as working out on Sunday.

    3. Sticking to diet - 2 PTS - I was under my calorie goal 5 days and a few calories over for 2 days...but not a blow out by any means. I consider that sticking to my diet.

    4. Weigh in - 4 PTS - I still prefer weighing in on Fridays...so i had a big loss from Friday to Friday...like 2 lbs. going Monday to Monday i had a small loss...like .8. either way it's a loss. back to the grind today! Need more losses to make it happen before vegas...and then again before the wedding and honeymoon!

    TOTAL = 12

    Week 3:

    1. Water - 1 PT

    2. 30 mins workout each day - 4 PTS - worked out 3 of 7 days with one day over 60 mins

    3. Sticking to diet - 1 PT - I was under my calorie goal most of the week. Friday I may have gone over, but i didn't log, so i don't really know. didn't log Saturday or Sunday, but measured my food and don't think i was bad.

    4. Weigh in - 4 PTS - Same weight Friday and Monday. looks like i lost the water weight i gained last week. i sure didn't lose anything due to my workouts. going to try to get back on the horse today...hopefully with my first couch to 5K training session. should be interesting

    TOTAL = 10

    Running Total = 29

    Still horrible. :(
