    FRIDAY NEW YEAR"S EVE CHALLENGE:

    12 Water (to combat the sodim loaded foods and those of you who plan to drink alcohol!) -working on this one
    40 Minutes exercise--- did 45 minutes of spinning and 10 minutes of ab work. Gonna walk the dog and do a bike ride later. (also major house clean before the guests come over)


    Already kissed hubby and one kid, gotta hit the other when he gets finished with swim practice. Be safe everybody, agree with everything Tausha said about drinking and driving-it's just not worth it!

    FRIDAY NEW YEAR"S EVE CHALLENGE:

    12 Water (to combat the sodium loaded foods and those of you who plan to drink alcohol!)
    40 Minutes exercise--- This can include anything you choose today !

    Try your best to be good although many will probably be tempted with the holiday!

    PLEASE GET A DESIGNATED DRIVER IF YOU PLAN TO DRINK! IT'S FOR YOU AND OTHERS! DON'T RISK YOUR LIVES OR THE LIVES OF OTHERS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER THIS. PEOPLE LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU AND THOSE PEOPLE IN THE OTHER VEHICLES! THERE MAY BE CHILDREN, MOTHERS, FATHERS.....

    I PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY.

    And the best one of all...... Kiss someone you love! Even if it isn't at midnight! Kiss your baby, spouse, friend on the cheek, momma, daddy, anyone!! Tell them how much they mean to you. Really.... you never know when you will get another chance to really tell them how much they mean.

    Exercise - DONE!! 1 hr 15 minutes of shoveling snow! Thank goodness we finally got some here in Denver :-)
    Now time to start on the water!

    Happy New Year's, everyone!

    It says to kiss them, not hit them :laugh: Although I have a 13 year old daughter, so I may go with the hitting too :wink:

    Oh my word, I feel your pain! I have a 14 year old boy and a 15 year (almost 16) boy (who just snuck up on me with a Jason hockey mask on and is laughing hysterically at my shriek!) and the wanting to hit them is a regular occasion!

    Thanks to everyone for the advice on how to get all of my water in each day. After struggling just to get 5-6 glasses per day since I started, I was able to drink 8 glasses yesterday. Yeah!!! That was a big success for me. :bigsmile:

    Ok so I'm going to post a few days challenges in advance since I'm having trouble posting EVERYDAY challenges. I can't keep up! I have a 15 month old and the day gets away from me and then I realize, I've forgotten to post!

    Sorry about today! Oh yeah...welcome to the new comers!

    So, here are some for the next couple of days. Bump these up so that people can keep up!


    SUNDAY CHALLENGE:

    10 Water (80 ounces)
    Under Calories
    45 Minutes Cardio exercise (these don't have to be consecutive, but better if they are...break it up if needed!)
    10 Minutes Resistance training....(weights, squats, crunches, leg lifts,...you get the picture...whatever you can do!)

    Take 15 minutes completely to yourself today. Go to a quiet place. Read if you like. Meditate, or just have quiet time. Take a bubble bath with the door locked and tell the spouse that they have to have the kids for that time! lol.... Have some ME time!




    MONDAY CHALLENGE:

    WEIGH IN DAY!!!
    :glasses:

    10 Glasses Water
    40% rule for Exercise- Take 40% of your Body weight and exercise that many minutes. You can choose any activity...mix it up if you like, do weights, cardio, play basketball, whatever

    Example: If you weigh 100 Pounds 40% is 40 Pounds so you would exercise 40 Minutes

    And of couse Under Calories



    TUESDAY CHALLENGE:

    H2O Tuesdays= 12 Glasses Water!!! Come on! This will be for EVERY TUESDAY!

    Under Cals and Add 5 Minutes of exercise to whatever your % was yesterday. So if you were "supposed" to do 45 minutes then today you are "supposed" to do at least 50 minutes! :grumble:

    If it's not a dumb question, how much does everyone's weight just fluctuate before you worry about actual weight loss?

    I'm one of those who hops on and off the scales a lot, and the weight goes up and down like a fiddler's elbow? I can see I'm losing weight on a trend but the fluctuation around the trend is quite a lot.

    Thoughts?

    Lady you are awesome! I know we are still getting new members, but whew, you are amazing!

    Your new picture is so pretty! I like your shirt. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what is your name.... and if you do mind you don't have to tell me. or, if you don't want me to say it here, but want me to know only, you can send me a private message...hahah... ok enough.

    I'm looking forward to our first weigh ins tomorrow! I wonder if the earth will spin faster because of all of this weight loss we are causing?? haha!! Just kidding! Maybe we will cure that hole in the ozone layer somehow?? hahahaha!

    Ok enough of me being crazy.

    Talk to you later!
