Beach Ready Challenge

Got all 64 (actually 70+) oz of water today! Burned 524 calories...2976 left to burn for the week!

My update:

SW: 186
CW: 183
GW: 150

I totally blew this weekend- (it was my birthday and I ate like a pig) then my body rebelled and I was sick all day yesterday. So I think that is one of the reasons I actually lost.

My daughter who is the reason I am on this journey- and I started the 30 day shred last night.

The water challenge is not going to be that big of a deal to me- as I gave up pop about a month ago. I can not however give up my caffeine. I have horrible withdrawal!

Goals for the week: 3,500 calories and 64 oz. of water a day!

Mon: 45 minutes - 190 calories - walking my dog in the neighborhood (rest day) - 64 oz. of water
Tue: 95 minutes - 729 calories - treadmill and strength training - 64 oz. of water

Left to go: 2,581 calories and 320 oz. of water

Met the soda goal today thanks to my friend. My husband brought me lunch and forgot about the no soda aspect of this weeks challenge. A very large and yummy Dr. Pepper, I am sure. My best friend, also in the challenge, swooped in and took it from me before I could even smell it. She proceeded to take it to the kitchen and pour it down the drain. Didn't even get to listen to it bubble just a little...and I didn't blow the challenge.

Good morning everyone!

I'm guessing it's ok that I join, never heard otherwise!

So today is really my first day for this week, I will post my calories burned and my water later today. The water wont be a problem for me, but burning 3500 calories just might. I try to work out regularly, but I'm going to have to put it up a notch to get the 3500calories. Dont think it will happen this week because I'm starting 2 days late in the week, but I will try to get as close to it as possible.

Have a great day!

jenny-I think as long as the calories are burned at some point in the day, you will be fine. WTG sticking with the goal even after skipping 2 days of workouts! Plus, a workout in the morning will boost your metabolism for the day. And I feel good exercising in the evening because I feel like I am burning off the crap I ate all day, lol.

Shawna-happy birthday to your baby boy! Good mom to make him that good breakfast! Good luck this afternoon.

wf0439- I have heard tea can "sometimes" count...like you shouldn't have more than 2 of your 8 glasses be something other than pure water? But I sometimes count milk in my glasses because it is hydrating.

I'm doing great with the 8 glasses of water per day. I was doing about 7 per day, so it's not that different.

For exercise, I had 843 total, so I am a little behind. I am going on a bike ride this afternoon and to hardcore Zumba class tonight. The instructor for the class I am going to tonight always kills me, lol, so I know I will be back on track to meet the 3500 cals burned goal!

I want to join. Even though I'm late to start! Just signed up today. Very exciting!! I do most of my exercise at home (Wii Just Dance2, Wii fit, Eliptical , etc) Would love to meet some "buddies" for support.

Thanks so much!!

P.s. Picture is a motivation..not actually of me..lol

Good morning!
So I know I'm defintily not going to hit the 3500calories burned this week...I've been so slack! I'm feeling very exhausted this week so its been hard to get my butt in gear!
The water is no problem, I drink about 96oz of water a day at work...and I dont drink soda so I dont have to give that one up.

So yesterday; Wednesday, I burned 200cals. I only did half of JM -Banish Fat Boost Metabolism video. I ususally do the whole thing, but like I said, I'm so tired, I think I might be coming down with something.

I am going to work out when I get home this evening.
I think next week might be a little easier, I'm going back to my regular position at work after being placed elsewhere for 2 months, and there I have the chance to go out for little walks on my lunch break...so I might burn a 100cals...but it all adds up right!

Hope you all have a great day!
Rhonda
