    As of October 9th this is how I am doing with my challenge: (yeah yeah yeah, I was a little busy yesterday)

    1. I honestly don't know how much I water I drank this weekend. But I KNOW it wasn't enough (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 107 minutes total (out of 60 mins each day)
    3. I didn't complete my log either day as I was out of town...and you know how that goes!
    4. I didn't complete my food diary as honestly as I could have.

    my starting weight is 192 and I have a cute red shirt I would like to fit into. Thanks for this challenge that I will report on daily.

    I went to visit my son in college AND completed a 5k this weekend!! It was my best race ever coming in at 35 minutes!!

    Happy Monday! I weighed in this morning at 124.4 - a loss of 4.6 pounds this week. Yay! (Although being sick a few days probably had something to do with it.)

    My goals for this week are:
    1. 64oz of water each day
    2. Yoga three times this week (45 minutes each)
    3. Stick to my diet like glue
    4. Update my food diary after every meal and snack
    5. And of course, I'm hoping for another 2-3 pounds off :-)

    Good luck to everyone!
