    OK -- Start weight 187.4
    Day 1 -- Jumping Jacks done
    Water: 16 and counting
    Calories: barely under (work lunch!!)

    This was my "rest day" so I did my jumping jacks (and threw in some jump rope and cardio punches for good measure!!) and took my nightly walk. Tomorrow I will be back to regular workouts, plus the challenge!!

    good luck everyone -- Let's go Team AMAZING GRAC!!!

    Sounds like everyone had a great day!! I too finished below my calorie goal (which dropped again when I updated my goals with the new weight...BOO!!) Swam for 30 minutes straight (sometimes on my back just kicking my feet-but always moving!) Drank all my water and did my jumping jacks. Now I need to get to sleep because tomorrow I need to do an extra mile so I need to get up early to fit it in. (It's a long work day tomorrow!)

    Have a good night everyone!

    Good morning, Team A-G! Hope everyone's great today! TOM is beating me down today - I'm feeling sooo cruddy and my back is KILLING me! I'll be WALKING that challenge mile today, and no doubt very liesurely! LOL!

    Is anyone else doing kettlebells as part of your routines? I'd love to hear from you if so. :)

    Ouch!! All that swimming yesterday is letting me know about muscles I had forgotten about! But I did my one mile walk this morning-partly to loosen up and mostly for my team. I got up early to do this (crazy work schedule today) and I HATE MORNINGS!! I will do my regular stuff at lunch/breaks, but I had to make sure I got that mile in!

    Hope everyone has a great day!!

    Good morning team!!! Its a beautiful morning here in Indiana. I walked 3 miles this morning for a little over an hour. I normally do 2 miles 5 times a week so today I added my extra mile for the challenge. Let me tell you...that last half-mile took some effort but so glad I did it.

    Good night all!!!

    Oops.... I did not get my jacks in after running 5.5 miles last night and having dinner. Sucessfully, I was under my calories for the day and drank my water! My starting weight is 173.4

    Tonight I am going to go swimming and run a mile for the challenge (even though it is an off day). I need to start getting my water in for the day... darn meeting first thing stopped me from filling my water bottle as soon as I got to work. :ohwell:

    Grace I will send you the pic via email tonight after I take one :blushing: lol

    Drank 9 glasses of H2O
    Under calorie goal both yesterday and today!

    Did 50 ab crunches to work on my belly blob!! A little house work, Zumba, and gardening to complete my day!!

    Loved being a housewife for a change!!

    Joyful in the Journey!

    Decided to take the long, way-out-of-the-way, scenic route home today on my bike. Instead of my normal 7.2 mile ride, I covered 19.9 miles!!! I thought about asking if the extra 12.7 miles on my bike could count as my extra mile. But instead, when I got home, I just grabbed my music and hit the road for a 1.15 mile run! That mile of running was TOUGH after almost 20 miles on my bike, but I did it!! WATCH OUT AUGUST!!!

    Extra mile - DONE
    Diary complete and under goal.
    14 glasses of water.
