    Good for you.....I have a friend that started running and she said the same thing....so I gave it a whirl....NOT.....My knees just can't take it. Too many baton twirling injuries I guess. I have always had a problem with my knees. Can't ride a bike either and I used to love to do that. Have fun and good luck!!!

    Ok, so yesterday I did 50 pushups, could not do the situps because my back was hurting so I did extra pushups. And I got 16 lunges in when my knees decided to protest. Hopefully today I can get more in. I may have to work up to the 50. I drank 16 cups of water and got in 5 servings of fruits and veggies.

    I have been told that I drink way too much water, is that really possible?

    Hey everyone! :O) I hope you all are having a great week so far. I started P90X yesterday and I'm following that workout schedule and also making sure I try to meet our weekly challenges, so my numbers for some days are going to be higher than others. My body sure is sore today, but I know that's a good thing right!? lol I really need to work on getting in my fruits/ veggies- mainly because I need to go to the grocery store, so I will try to do that this afternoon!

    Monday- 4 c. water, no eating out, 0 fruit/ 0 veggie
    Tuesday- 6 c. water, no eating out, 0 fruit/ 2 veggie, 200-225 crunches (Ab Ripper X), 128 push-ups, 50 lunges (each leg)

    Thanks cnbethea! I used to go to WW too until I found this website, I stopped going to meetings a couple months ago. I don't know how you can not look at your weight though, that takes a lot of will power! Good for you! =)

    went for a rollerblade yesterday morning before getting in my car to drive home to visit my family. On my way.. my car broke down on the highway!! So it was a 2 hour detour while CAA came and took my car to a shop, luckily, it was a quick and cheap fix. By the time I got home I scarfed down a homemade burger and hit the mall with my mom to go shopping for a graduation dress to go under my gown. I have to admit we found TONS that we liked :) I was size 12 (snug) and now I bought two 10's. I also fit into size 8's!!! a lil snug - not something I want to wear to sit in for hours but it was a nice surprise. Than my mom and I went to see Sex and the City 2 - loved it!!!! and I didnt eat ANY popcorn :) went to visit a friend who is expecting.. and ended up having ice cream with her and a mars boy. Ohhh boy - way to ruin the day!!! I had a very busy day so I didnt manage to do our challenge, but that means today its double the push ups, lunges, and crunches. I did drink my 8 glasses of water yesterday, and had two servings of fruit.

    ohh and Good News - I GOT A JOB!!!!!!! Just for the month of July - but its better than nothing!

    Thanks for that website. I checked it out and it says to drink 5.1 liters of water a day or 171 ounces. So, I am right on target for my weight and exercise and the amount of water I drink. :)
    Ok, so yesterday I did 50 pushups, could not do the situps because my back was hurting so I did extra pushups. And I got 16 lunges in when my knees decided to protest.
