TEAM PURPLE! *Lose 10lbs in August*

So this weeks challenege got the best of me

Monday: 35 and 225 calories and 5 cups (40 oz) of water

Tuesday: 30 mins 149 calories and 5 cups (40 oz.) of water

Wednesday: 1 hour 15 mins and 216 calories 7 cups (56 oz.) of water

Thurday: 2 houra 15 mins 809 calories and 6 cups ( 42 oz) of water

I am scared to weigh myself I hope yesterdays workout paid off.

for those teammates having trouble with drinking enough water: i bought a refillable water bottle that hold the recommended daily value of water 8 glasses/175 oz at Rite Aid. i know they sell them at k-mart too. I fill the bottle every morning and do my best to finish what it holds by the end of the day. it makes it a lot easier for me becuase i wasn't too good at keeping track just by glasses. drinking a lot of water helps SO MUCH when trying to lose weight even before this weeks challenge i had been trying to drink 8 glasses on a daily basis. good luck & go team purple!

Totally agree. I bought 2 water bottles from WalMart that are 32oz. You get to drinking and don't even realize you've downed 64 oz in the first few hours of the morning. I tend to drink 96oz per day. Better than drinking 5 million glasses/bottles of water every day LOL

Down 2 pounds this week! Yay!
Did a total of 240 Minutes of exercise
Total burn of 1416 calories
Not sure on the water intake-to me that's a challenge and I don't think there was 1 day where I met that goal.

This week's challenge has been so much easier for me, but strangely enough I feel like more progress has been made. Is anyone else having this experience. I know that we have all a progressive goal so last week's work is showing this week, but it is sort of taking charge this week.

My challenge info is in my signature, but when I weighed in on Friday I lost 4lb. To me that is amazing, I never thought that I could get that much of a result so quickly, now I just need to continue on.

Thanks for the support, stopping by this site multiple times a day means that I feel your support and efforts.

NEW MINI CHALLENGE FOR WEEK 3:

45 minutes of exercise 6 days (minimum of 270 minutes)
8 glasses of water 7 days (minimum of 448 ounces)

AND

Stay under on your SODIUM every day!!!!!


Thanks jrdoty for posting this for us -- I know the sodium is going to be a huge challenge for me!!!

We've got a lot of blanks -- I know some of my group weighs in on Mondays -- so we'll update those numbers. But if you've just missed the weigh in or don't like your numbers this week -- don't fret!!! Having an off week is no reason to give up!!! If you gain, you gain -- we're here to support you either way

Thanks for the new mini-challenge. The sodium thing will be a challenge for sure, but I know how important it is for good health!

Good luck, everybody!!!

~SommerJo~ Did this challenge start on Friday, because I never saw it. It wasn't on the regular challenge thread. I just found it posted by jrdoty on the Red Spartans team thread for a Friday start. Darn it. I'm three days late!

I weiner that as well. If it did start on friday im a little late. Lol
