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!!

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

Sick today. Met water, no exercise.

Is everyone eating the calories they are burning off?

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.

Is everyone eating the calories they are burning off?

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.

Made up missing exercise yesterday by doing 146 minutes today and have already gone over water goal and the day isn't over yet!

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.

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!

Have I mentioned I hate water?? I got about 6 glasses yesterday and 30 mins and 149 calories. Today is crunch time to make up from lack of exercise this week so far today I have done 1 hour and 463 calories. but only 1 glass of water. I am going to try putting some crystal light in it to drink more. Does that even count??

How's my team? From the looks of it -- you are all doing very well!!! I'm seeing lots of water drank -- calories burnt -- and minutes movin!!!

Tomorrow is weigh in day -- it's time to send me your numbers in a message.

Remember to send how much water you drank -- how many minutes you exercised -- and how many calories burned. I'm just adding those up so we can see the total lol -- it was pretty cool to see how many calories we burnt last week!!!

Also -- it looks like we'll be sending out the new challenge tomorrow -- and run them till next Friday -- weigh in day will stay the same. I know alot of you don't weight in till Monday or Tuesday and I'm totally ok with that.

Again -- if there are blanks by your name and youknow you sent me your info -- shoot me a message -- we'll get all your information caught up.

Best of Luck Guys -- I know you've been working really hard!!!

I weighed in this morning and I have lost nothing this week. I am trying not to be disappointed since I am coming off of 3 weeks in a row of losing, but its a little discouraging. I am keeping it very strict this weekend and see if I can't get a good number next week!

Tues. 96 oz. water and 31 min. aerobics --> 223 cals. burned

Thurs. 104 oz. water and 61 mins. hiking, walking --> 411 cals. burned.

Friday is my rest day and I weigh myself on Monday morning, but I'll still be logging in to see how awesome everyone is doing, over the weekend.
