CHALLENGE FOR WEDNESDAY JULY 5TH:
1. Post a message on this challenge board. Even if it's just stopping in to say, 'Hi', I'm still here.
Hey, I've been gone for some time, spending the long weekend with family, but I'm still here.
2. Eat within your calorie limit and drink at least 8 glasses of water.
This should happen just fine, thank you very much. Not too sure about the past three days though...ah, familial celebrations!
3. . Don't look at the scale today.
I really, really am tempted to check if any damage was done this past weekend. I didn't eat that badly, but still. My weight is historically sensitive.
4. Plank or Modified Plank
I'm going to the gym after this message. Will do.
5. Back Extension, 2 sets of 10.
Ditto 4.
6. Re-evaluate your fitness plan.
I considered staying in Fast Break after this weekend's setback, but after further consideration of my goals and remembering some of the better choices I made, I decided to move on to Healthy Diet Habits as of Thursday, the two week SP mark for me.

Gatorgrad & Welleg - don't think of it as failing, you're still here working towards great success!!!
Gatorgrad - I hope you enjoy your new gym membership, I love going to the gym and the only time I go is in the morning when the kids are still sleeping.
Hobo53 - where can I get your lifestyle - playing all day in the water sounds amazing!!
Hope your dentist appt. goes well Xiomi!
Lindsk - yayyyy - two days in your calorie range - way to go!!
Welcome Angelala, Racemom, Runnerkatt & Losinglilly1. Join right in. I'll be posting the Thursday challenge soon.
Jwahlton- don't worry, I'll post some more bonus challenges soon, Have fun at your meals out today!!
Sitaroundsue - drinking water is a habit for me now, it's second nature but it took a few weeks to get into the habit. I just always have a glass nearby - when it's empty, I fill it up again. I also drink green tea midday and in the evening.
Congratulations to everyone for working so hard at this. I'm hoping you'll see some results at this Friday's weigh-in.!!!
Have a great day!!
Jules

I've missed the bonus challenge this morning
Went to the supermarket, bought some fruits and yogurt. I'll be eating smoothies this 2 days. And soups, this are home-made too. So I guess I've accomplished today's challenge, except for the calorie range. I'll be "eating" liquids and smooth things all day.
Check up later

 I would like to join your challenge as my mid term goal was to lose 6 lbs. this month, if I lose one more all of the better.
|
|
|
|
Sitaroundsue;
I walk in the mornings and I absolutely crave water the whole time, and afterwards. It makes me drink a great deal earlier on.
|

|

Hello all, I hope everyone is doign great, I personally REALLY like this challenge and I think I am doing pretty good so far. I need to learn to start drinking my water earlier in the day. What I have been doing is drinking it all at night and then I am up all night, well, going to the bathroom  but I am trying to get better with that. How do some of you drink so MUCH water throughout the day? I am starting to take a water bottle with me as much as possible, but I still feel I drink most of my water at night!!! Okay, well that is all for now, I will be back later to post how I did on the challenge today, so far so good! I will have no internet for about five or six hours today though, so HOPEFULLY I will still be able to post later, wow this is long! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day! Keep up the good work!

Hiya everyone.. just got back from a walk and I'm tuckered.
You all sound like you're doing so well! Great motivation 
I hope you're having weather like we are; high of 76-78 and not a cloud in the sky, but a lovely breeze. Great cardio day!
Didn't do the exercise challenges this morning but I plan on doing them soon. I love planks, and I've never done back extensions, so it's a great combination!

Hello,
Just a quick note to say that I've told my daughter and my husband that I have to lose 7 lbs in the month of July. Always helps to share this burden and ask for help, right?
July 4--Day 1--SUCCESSFUL
July 5--Day 2--SUCCESSFUL, BUT HUNGRY
July 6--Day 3--SUCCESSFUL

Good Morning anyone. Well at least it is morning in California where I'm at.
I'm really liking this challenge. I've never considered setting daily challenges until this group. I know it is only the 5th day but I think I'm hooked.
One thing I decided for July was to give up soda. I believe that is really helping me to stay within my calorie range and I'm drinking more water so I think I'm hooked on that too.
Well our homeschooling day has begun. Have to go

Hi everyone. I need a challenge and this one sounds good. I'm a little late getting started, but oh well. Today is a new day. Good luck!
