    Worked out today.. GO ME - not as much as I wanted too, cold coming on and draining like crazy. I know TMI :tongue: Anyway - 20 mins on Treadmill and 20 mins on Bike only came out to 202 calories though. But something is better then nothing. :heart:

    So I ended up drinking 65 oz of water yesterday. Reached my goal!! I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning so I didn't work out...yet. I will work out later today when I get off of work. I am having oatmeal for breakfast. So good start so far.

    Good luck to everyone today!!

    After work today I'll be doing Kenpo for an hour and I'll report back with my calories burned. Trying to get all my water in today and keep eating clean. I'm kinda in a grumpy mood, but I don't really know why. I think after my workout I'l shower and just plop myself in front of some homework for the night.

    I got the Jillian Michaels Wii Ultimate Workout game - haven't tried it yet - can't wait.

    Still working off Christmas and New Year's eve - 2 heavy meals in one day - Olive Garden and Carrabbas I did go over my cals but not by too much - I used portion control and selected the best things I could - got right back to it yesterday = that's pretty much a victory to me even though I still have 1 pound to lose from Christmas/Funeral comfort foods....

    My body is sore today from doing that 5K yesterday and then playing the Wii. The Wii can certainly make your body sore. I didnt get to go to the gym this morning. My hubby called and told me not to go out because it was sleeting and raining and there had already been roads with ice and plenty of accidents already. So I guess I will just do stuff around here. I do have a Biggest Loser cardio DVD and a Taebo Dvd but I have gotten out of practice of doing them. Maybe when my girl goes down for a nap I will do one.

    Hello everyone and Happy New Year. I missed posting on the board yesterday but did good for Day 1. I drank all my water, exercised with the Biggest Loser Boot Camp i got for Christmas (and it kicked my butt - I'm feeling it today) and stayed within my calorie range. Off to a good start!! :smile:

    I have a question for all my fellow team mates - can those carbonated flavored waters count toward your water goal each day? I tend to really like them and they are better than plain water. Or can they count for some of the water goal? I do drink plain water but like to mix the carbonated ones too.

    Thanks! :smile:

    I have a question for all my fellow team mates - can those carbonated flavored waters count toward your water goal each day? I tend to really like them and they are better than plain water. Or can they count for some of the water goal? I do drink plain water but like to mix the carbonated ones too.

    Thanks! :smile:

    I only count clear water - I figure the other stuff all has "stuff" added to it.


    I have a question - are we creating our own challenges/goals? Is that what I'm seeing??

    I have lived in Oregon and Minnesota and not Michigan and some how it has stuck with me that it is Soda Pop - best of both. :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Thanks - I also like those cyrstal light powder additives. I guess you're right - it all adds something. I'm not quite sure about the challenges. I think everyone is making suggestions.

    I did my Wii Fitness Coach and it said 235 for my calories burned, but I soooo want a HRM to be more accurate.

    Hey! I didn't know we started this week... OOPS! haha well I haven't been doing all that great but not horrible. Haven't worked out but I have to go to the gym to set up my account again. I have definately been cleaning away a lot so I have got to burn calories that way... I will get on my routine now that I know we are all ready!

    So if we don't have a challenge for next week, how about we get back to the basics... Lets start by tracking our water intake... Water can consist of flavored waters as well but no other beverages... Just track your water intake and report here!

    I've set myself up to drink 25,000 ounces of water in 2009!

    Breaking that down it's a little more than 64 oz a day - but sounds better with 25,000!!!

    That's my New Year's Resolution. I hope to knock it out of the park and go way over but it's a challenge to myself!
