    Are we ready to totally kick *kitten*, guys? :D

    I just woke up to complete some last-minute work for my internship, and then I'll be going into the morning workout routine that I hope to keep up every day of this month and beyond. I was just wondering what everyone's typical workout schedule is like? :)

    For me, it's:
    -- stretches (at least 30 minutes)
    -- dance (at least 2 hours)
    -- 30-Day Shred (30 mins)
    -- P90X (1 hour)
    -- plus the exercise challenge

    I think the hardest thing for me will be drinking 8 cups of water. I usually only get in 3 or so, but I'll be trying my hardest to drink more at work. Maybe then I won't be so prone to eating, haha..

    Vivianleemit - try using a water bottle with a straw, and add some lemon juice or a drop or two of fruit juice. I think ou will be surprised at how many times you will need to fill your bott by just sipping during the day. Or, time your water like medication. one glass in the morning, one with each meal, one before bed....

    That actually sounds like a great idea. I'll try the "drops of fruit juice" idea -- my main gripe with water is that it tastes too bland, so hopefully that should help! I also found a great thermos that is tall and thin, so it doesn't -look- as if you're drinking that much, but in reality it's equal to an 8 oz cup (two gulps brings the water level down an inch!)

    Signing in for week 1, weight today was 175.2 for starting weight. Forgot to do a set of jumping jacks before I left home so they will all have to wait until later. I just don't think I can do them in the bathroom. :blushing:

    We definitely need to log (I also write it in my exercise notes). I think it's good to keep the rest of the team updated on your progress, so just a simple "hey, I finished!" shoutout on this thread should be good, what do you guys think?

    Ok. I logged and was under calories although I ate horrible things today. Again, I know it was NOT healthy, but it was in range. I did finish the water, which is a major accomplishment for me. I also did my 100 jacks in addition to my 25 minute cardio circuit. Go team thin to win! Yea!

    Still having trouble with the water :( Just drank my 5th cup, only three more to go! Hopefully I can finish them, that's the only thing standing between me and completing the challenge today. Hey, if it was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge, right? :)
