TEAM PURPLE! *Lose 10lbs in August*

So I just realized I've been under estimating my water intake this whole time I've been on MFP! I've been counting my usual glass of water as 1 cup...the light bulb flickered on and I realized I've been counting a 16 oz. glass as 8 oz.! Well, nice to know I've been getting around the daily recommended amount. 82oz for today! :drinker:
And then my little frustration for this evening, realized as I got to my gym that, not only did I forget my membership card, but I also forgot my combination lock and my ipod. None of this would've been so bad if I didn't have the responsibility of my work laptop in my backpack...which wouldn't have fit in the quarter lockers. So needless to say I had to pass on the gym. But! Instead of waiting for the bus to go back home, I walked all the way And even made a detour for a longer trip...with my heavy backpack. I didn't get the elliptical, but at least I still got the exercise.
Bag is all set, lock and all, for tomorrow. Bring it on!!0 -

Suceeded in meeting the challenge on day two. This is awesome. Let's see if I can keep it up.0

Seraph - that's great! What a great head-space, that you made a way to get the exercise in even when things weren't ideal. Great work.0

Sick today. Met water, no exercise.0

So far this week I have done:
Monday: 65 min of exercise and 80oz of water
Tuesday: 40 min of exercise and 88 oz of water.
I think this is much easier than 500 calories a day!0 -
Is everyone eating the calories they are burning off?0

So far so good this week. I would love to see the scale move southward, but I'm just happy that this challenge keeps me active and focused.0

This challenge this week is killing me. I just got back from vacation so no exercise i counted yesterday but i did drink about 7 glasses of water.0

I am curious about this too. I just adjusted my daily intake bc I had lifestyle too active in my profile and now my exercise calories mean a post workout snack.0 -
I'm not sure if I got extra cardio or not in, since tonight is usually when my boyfriend and I hit the gym for strength and cardio workout. I compensated because I do this when I'm not feeling well.
He mentioned he has a terrible headache and was having a bad day at work, so he wasn't sure if he would be able to work out or not. Usually he powers through; I never do in these circumstances.
Just in case (and because it was a GORGEOUS day today) I took a somewhat intense bike ride along the river trail. This group is working wonders.
Hope you all are feeling the motivation, too!!0 -
Made up missing exercise yesterday by doing 146 minutes today and have already gone over water goal and the day isn't over yet!0

I wasn't during the July challenge and I didn't lose any weight either. I exercise pretty intensely and need those calories. When I started eating what I burned off, I started losing weight. I want to meet my calorie goal everyday or within 60 calories. One or two days I have been over by about 200 calories. When my body needs the fuel, I feed her.0 -
Another good day...64 oz of water, and 75 minutes of exercise. I did not eat all of my workout calories, so I will have to do better tomorrow.0

72 oz water; 25 min Elliptical, 235 calories burned.
GO PURPLE REIGNS!0 -
UGH. I haven't hit my burn at all this week unfortunately. We had a death in our family late Sunday night and the whole week has been devoted to my family - my workouts have taken a back burner until Today.
I doubt I see a good loss this week - but I hope I have something at least.
I get my elliptical tomorrow though so once it gets here I can start using it and really burning up those calories!0 -
Doing ok on this week's goal but I'm not counting water past 8 cups (i didn't realize I was drinking so much!) because I end up losing count lol....
Monday Rest Day 8+ cups
Tuesday 41 min 567 Cals 8+ cups
Wednesday 60 min 791 Cals 8+ cups
Totals 101 min 1358 cals 24+ cups
I'm really glad I found this group it's really motivating me to stay on top of things!0 -
