      34oz at noon!!! I plan to drink just as much the second half of my work day -- and then I usually have about 2 16oz bottles at home!!! That would put me at......... 100oz for the day!!

      That's awesome! 100oz! :happy: I guess I better get up and fill this cup.

      ok, so for our 1st challenge, I think we'll keep it simple. How bout increasing our water intake? this is no problem for some, but difficult for others. The recommended daily allowance could be a debate, but if you're on the low side, try to increase it, and if you're just wanting to improve, here's your chance! We all know there are a many benefits to drinking water...so fill up your cups, glasses, bottles and canteens...and go back for more!

      This starts tomorrow, Thursday 10/20 and ends next Wednesday 10/26. Good luck everyone!:drinker:

      re the push-ups...good idea! that is one of the areas I dislike the MOST. I think with all the yo-yo dieting I did for 15+ yrs, and never any resistance training really damaged my triceps. Not sure I can do much there, but I am willing to try! I have a question tho...is it ok to do push-ups every day? does there need to be a day or 2 off between working the triceps? I don't want to be doing them every day and it not being beneficial. I always hear about taking a day off so muscles can repair and rebuild...don't know if push-ups fall into this "theory"? anyone?

      Since we are just beginning here, let's stick with the water challenge. If you want to do push-ups that's fine too. Still waiting for an answer about doing them every day??

      I'm at 32 oz done. Gonna head out for a walk here shortly. How's everyone else doing?

      It's my belief that you should limit strength training to 3 times a week if your into heavy weight lifting...so, alternating push-ups and cardio is the best way to maximize your workouts.

      If anyone is interested, I've started a Ripped in 30 thread:

      yay! I got my 64oz in for today....

      Here's a water trick that has a few calories, sparkling water, pomegranite juice, fresh squeezed lime. I think 1 oz of pom juice is 20ish calories and fresh lime juice is about 5.

      Think of all the antioxidants...
