    Hey all!!!
    I did not reach the 3500 calories goal- I logged in at 2841.

    I will maintain my water intake :)

    And in case you missed it:

    MINI CHALLENGE FOR NEXT WEEK:

    1. Don't give up on the water!
    2. Make a plan and follow it!

    Let me explain...a lot of people have a really hard time sticking to any sort of "diet" or workout regimen because they have no plan. They just half-@$$ throw something together and actually do it only about half of the time and don't see results like they want to (hmm...wonder why...). If you already do this or don't want to do this or whatever, then stick with the 3,500 calories burned. If you want an extra push and some accountability, then by Sunday evening I want to see the following - a menu for Monday-Thursday AND a workout schedule for Monday-Thursday...as in...I literally want to know what time you're working out what day and what you're doing for that workout - as well as what you're having for each meal each of those days. THEN...I want you to EXECUTE YOUR PLAN on Monday-Thursday. You may not be much of a planner, but just TRY it...it's only 4 days! I understand that life happens and you may not stick to your menu 100%, but I fully expect your workout schedule to be followed. You have to make time for yourself and properly managing your time/resources (food) is an easy way to take control of your healthy lifestyle, no matter what stage of it you're in.

    Woo! I am so happy that I am finally losing again! Lol. I was at a stand still for a bit. I have seriously been working harder, that I am also doing office exercises. It's embarrassing for me still, but I have been doing them on my breaks. When my cubicle buddy steps out :P.

    Also, great job on everyone's losses!! You all are doing such a fantastic job!! No one said it would be easy, but all of you make it look that way ;)
