Daily Health Challenge (Spark, WW, everyone!)

[gkashmira]

OK so let's get a mini-challenge going! I posted this up on Spark as well. We can then just check in and tell if we did or did not do it! It's small things that we can all do to improve our health, lose weight if you need to, and just get a little motivated (for us who have motivation problems... um like me!):

October 9 - Do 50 crunches (any type)

Kash, thats a great list!! I'm working on the water now!

[jenvh]

10 oz of water down, 54 to go.

[trisha0612]

32oz. down.........on to my next bottle!

[gkashmira]

Oh no! I posted this up and then never went to get any water! How ridiculous - I'm going right now!

[melglnh2o]

20 oz. down the tubes so far for me.

Kash - what a great list!!!! And you say you're not motivated This list sure motivated me. Small, do-able challenges. It's GREAT!!!!

 

Ok, so I'm almost done with the 64oz of water. I have about 20 more to go.

 

Um, still haven't used the new treadmill yet. I know there are no excuses but I did have a busy weekend. I plan on using it tonight for at least 30 minutes. Plus I've been sticking to my target calorie intake all day, and I'm doing good so far. The scale still hasn't moved, but I guess maintaining is better than gaining, right

[*JillD*]

I'm going to have to guess, I think so far today about 24-30 oz, so almost half there.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that today is Day #6 without Diet Coke. I even went to Subway today for lunch and turned down fountain soda (which I LOVE!!!!) But that just means I'll drink more water.

Jen I really want to get that book you were talking about, it sounds really good. So what do they say in the book about DC, I know you've mentioned its bad for you. I have heard that before too that it expands your waistline, if that makes sense?
