    I'm in! We have a deck of cards with exercises on them and everyone draws a card every hour and we all do them together. The first set had a squat card!! (Only 8, but that's 8 down!) The water will be my biggest challenge - I haven't been drinking much at all lately.

    Challenge completed! 60 squats were not that easy actually. Last summer I was in a challenge and reached upto 150 squats level. Target was to progress slowly towards 250 squats within 30 days!! This group will get there too I am sure:)

    Ouch....almost made 60 squats. Unfortunately the knee said NO and tumbled me on my butt at about 46, LOL! Note to self...work on squats!! I'm working on the water. I am only at 4 glasses so far. I wasn't home most of the day and totally walked out without my water bottle. Gonna try to get the rest in! If not I'm ready for tomorrows challenge!

    46 is not bad either. Good effort!

    60 Squats - check!
    10 Glasses of Water - check!
    Staying under calories... ok, that's a little more complicated since I met with a dietician yesterday and am in a 5 week class with her, so we set my target calories minimum and maximum and it was way different than what MFP said. I adjusted MFP to my minimum, but my dietician said to just keep it in the range. I was 20 calories over my minimum but 380 below my maximum. I'm calling that a win! (I also learned I am a VERY emotional eater - I stuffed myself silling last night because I was so upset and then regretted it instantly, something else I'm supposed to be working on [the regret/guilty feeling])
