Morning all. Yesterday I got in 7/10 glasses of water and no exercise.
However 7 glasses was probably 6 more that I have had lately. Been slacking in that area.
Today I am at 3/10
So I guess by NSV will be to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. :drinker:
Thanks for the group ya'll sound like just what I need!0 -
Didn't get my exercise or water in yesterday. I hope to be able to today. How can anyone drink 10 glasses of water in one day? I have a hard time getting 8 in. Are these 8 oz glasses?
yes..8oz glasses. so pretty much aim for at least 80 oz of water/day.
I have a 1 liter bottle that I will make a point to drink and fill up 3 bottles/day. thats 12 cups of water. I usually drink 1 before noon.. my 2nd one between noon and 4, and my last one with or after dinner.. it helps me stay on track.0 -

It's CRAZY how much water your body needs! I'm one of the heavier girls in this group, and I learned I needed to drink anywhere from 97 to 120 ounces a day. (See Hydration Calculator at http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm) When I really started increasing my water intake, my energy levels are higher, my skin looks better, and I just feel so much better! Need more motivation? Check out what Bob Harper says about drinking water:

We are up to 48 people now! If we all reach our GWs, we will have lost 473 pounds! That's like an entire class of kindergartners!! In the last challenge, we lost 291 pounds with 31 people checking in at the end. I challenge each one of you to keep with us until the end! Regular check-ins make a big difference in motivation levels and staying with your weight loss goals. Don't worry about weeks where you gain; it happens to most of us. Just keep checking in, no matter what! If we all stick together, I'm positive we can lose over 400 pounds this time. Let's get healthy for the holidays!!!0 -
Yesterday met water and exercise. I'm doing JM 30DS so for right now that thirty minutes works out. We will see though hopefully I song take a break.
On a side note I am wearing work pant today that haven't felt comfortable for 6 months. :P0 -

Yesterday I did the Jillian Michaels 30Day Shred and ran for 35 minutes on the Treadmill.
Today my goal is to eat only a healthy dinner and that is it after I get home. I do great when I am at work and then falter when I get home sometimes.
I also want to do the 30DS and run at least 20 minutes today0 -
Doing great today. I actually did get up early and get my exercise in! I have also drank my water today.
I am happy we are getting back to the basics. I think I needed this after this past week.
Now, did I miss the link to the new spread sheet? or will we using the same one?0 -
I'm in! This is exactly what I need to get back on track!

NSVs
1 - Comfortably wear an old dance costume for Halloween (planning to go as an ice skater - I can get into it now just not quite comfortable). Last time I wore it I was 15.
2 - Complete a 10 mile race on 10/29. My NSV is to maintain my training schedule - I have a tendency to do really well for 3-5 weeks and then miss one and fall off the wagon. To complete 10 miles in 8 weeks I need to stick to my schedule like glue!
3 - Have the guts to post my before/after pictures.
You can add me to the schedule for the challenges for one week. Preferrably in October (the company I work for gets REALLY busy in Nov and I may be distracted then.
*edit - you can just put down NSV #3 in the spreadsheet.0 -

yes, just post your weight weekly and any NSV you would like to share, weekly challenges, etc. probably should have said report in weekly, not weekly reports0 -
FINALLY....I made it to the "Y" during my lunch hour. I haven't done that for at least 4 weeks and IT FELT AWESOME!!!!
Fingers crossed that the hip doesn't hurt tonight.
My new motto needs to be:
One day at a time....One meal at a time....One workout at a time...I will succeed at becoming healthier!0 -

Thanks for re-posting the link! I'm getting a message from a member who's having a hard time accessing the spreadsheet. When she copies and pastes the link, she gets a "Page Not Found" error. Is anyone else having a problem seeing the spreadsheet? Does anyone have any suggestions for people who can't see the spreadsheet?0 -
My only suggestion would be to make sure you have the most updated version of internet explorer or firefox (whichever you use) or browser in general.. I can see it just fine and I'm pretty sure I'm still on IE7.0
-
Thanks Stacy...gonna update my browser now. I have yet to be able to pull up the spreadsheet:(0
