    10 cups of water- Done
    Only 30 min of cardio, but this is so much better than my usual ( which is nothing). Exercise for me is the hardest part of loosing weight.
    And under my calories!!! TYhis was very hard, my family went to a buffet last night, but I stuck to the salad bar and one piece of baked chicken.


    Thanks everyone for the motivation!

    OH my goodness, I'm loving this!!

    There are so many of you ahead of me and ASKING FOR a CHALLENGE!!! Sweet!!


    I'll try to post a little more in advance especially since we have some people from the Eastern Hemisphere joining us! I know you all are a day ahead of the USA. So....

    Here we go...

    THURSDAY CHALLENGE:

    10 Cups Water
    Under Calories
    45 Minutes Exercise..(Include 10 minutes strength/or resistence training today. This can be lifting weights, pushups, situps, lunges, squats, etc.... or just use some canned foods and do some arm work! )



    FRIDAY:

    10 Cups Water
    Under Calories
    45 Minutes Cardio--- Try to do something outside... Depends on where you are at the moment.. Have a snowball fight, or rake leaves (I did this Wednesday)., or walk the dog.. Chase your kids at the park....

    BONUS: Try 25 Push-ups... You can split these up if needed and do 5 at a time. Also, do what you can, start on the wall and do wall pushups, or girlie, or go straight GI Joe and do Military or Diamond pushups!! Report how that went for you!!



    SATURDAY CHALLENGE:

    10 Cups Water
    50 Minutes CARDIO! (You can do this!!)
    Under Calories

    **Bonus---Eat back at least HALF of your exercise calories. For example if you burn 600 calories in exercise eat back at least 300 of those.


    SUNDAY:

    This is my rest and relaxation day. If you choose to exercise that's up to you.

    I do encourage some "ME TIME" every Sunday. I find that reading a book, your Bible, or taking a bubble bath are really nice. Yoga is a great way to relax, focus on yourself, and soothe those probably aching muscles. (plus you'll get a bonus calorie burn)



    Still drink 10 Water
    Under Calories!




    OK< i hope this catches us up for a few days!

    I'd like to join! I had such a great time doing the Valentine's day challenge at it was a huge motivator for me. I only have 7 lbs to goal so I won't be going for the 12 lbs loss, but I figure these last 7 may feel more like 12!

    Oh, starting weight for this challenge is 122.2
    Goal weight is 115 (hopefully 2 days before Easter, my birthday!)
    Long term goal: Rugged Maniac 5K September!!!

    I'm also doing a 100 push up challenge. I'm just starting and I'm on week 2 day 1 with a total of 59 pushups...

    Good luck everyone!

    Responding to WEDNESDAY's Challenge (a little late):

    10 Cups Water - Check
    45 Minutes Cardio! - Pilates (taking it light due to a cold I am fighting)
    Under Calories - Check

    Bonus: Tell how taking steps to become more healthy will affect your life, family and friends!

    Taking steps to become more healthy will provide my life with more energy in general and it will give me a heightened sense of self-confidence which will affect how I interact with others. I think having more energy will help me to give more and having more confidence will help me to reach out more.
