    I'm in ! I really need to work on my abs/core and tomorrow morning, I WILL do the new Yoga DVD I bought but haven't done. I will carry my HUGE water mug with me all day and will enter all calories I eat/drink. GREAT Motivation. Looking forward to Saturday double double (and no, I'm not talking about a Tim Horton's coffee).
    BRING IT !!

    I'm in! This is just what I need. I'll jump on the elliptical in the morning and keep my water bottle with me all day. Instead of reaching for a snack I'll grab it first! Thanks.

    Double your water~within healthy limits...:drinker: :drinker:
    That reminds me, what are healthy water limits? 8-10 does not seem like enough for me. Is it cool to drink 13-16 of the 8-oz servings if they are spread throughout the day?

    The guideline I have read on the boards in MFP are divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces per day....so if I weigh 160, I should drink 80 ounces...which is 10 8 ounce glasses. If I am exercising heavily, I drink alot of water. Feed the thirst I say. However, I have read that you can overdue it. Maybe someone in the health profession could address this for us. :flowerforyou:

    I'm planning on a 2-3 hour walk/hike with friends. We're looking at high of 16 degrees today, but currently it's 5 degrees :noway: , so I'm bundling up :tongue:

    Good for you Sky! Your body will work even harder to maintain a healthy temperature! Dig out the longjohns girl! :)

    Does working a 12-hour serving shift at a restaurant count as double exercise? I'm on my feet all day with no time for the gym! Maybe tomorrow

    I feel great! Worked out really hard at the gym... my friend got there before me and did 25 minutes of ellipticals before I was there, so we only did 5 minutes of cardio before the strength training machines. I feel awesome because after she left, I stayed and did 45 minutes on the stationary bike!

    Gym cardio is my foe -- I had only planned to do 25 to get my 30 min cardio in, so I'm pretty pumped. 6 cups water so far.

    I want in - its the weekend that always gets me....I need all the motivation I can get.
    Started the morning so far with an hour workout and hope to get a 2 / 3 mile walk in with Leslie Sansone tape later
    today....its about 6 degres outside and freezing! .Water going good just have to keep saying to myself:
    "No one can change me but ME"

    Thanks for the inspiration :)

    16 ounces water: down. I don't drink a ton normally so I am following a previous posters advice on dividing my weight in half and drinking that many ounces. So I will need 67 ounces.

    I will need to up my exercise to 2 hours today to double (which I needed because I skipped yesterday and I am trying to get 3500 calories burned in a week).

    Now, does this challenge mean we get to double the calorie intake, too! LOL!!!

    Wow that's cold! Way to go for getting out there...have fun!

    I am working until 2 today but I woke up early to make my own healthy lunch at home instead of getting fast food. I'm also drinking lots of water instead of my usual diet coke! Going to the gym when I get off work...

    Went hiking with 2 friends through the snow in single digit temperatures. We're estimating we went between 10-12miles. 3&1/2 hours and 2012 calories later, I feel great! :happy: Skinny Saturday accomplished! :drinker:

    Amazing!! I can't hike that fast yet...I'm closer to 7 miles in 5 hours!! But we just moved out to Seattle from fairly-flat Iowa, so I have to build up my endurance!!

    I did Jillian Michaels Power Sculpt this morning - did both level one and level two (with warm up and cooldown as well) and then walked for 2 hours. I didn't try and walk real fast because I am exhausted, but I did try and go for a long time to make up for it.
