Thumbs up Flex Challenge - July

Jaime (SuiteJudyBlueEyes) is on vacation, and asked me to start the new month's thread for her. The instructions, taken from June's thread are:

Here's the challenge in a nutshell: instead of making goals related to how much weight you can lose in a month, we're focusing on what it takes to get there: water, food, and exercise.

You get 2 points for every day you are on plan (eating your base points + any activity points earned + weekly flex points). No splitting them up, either you get 2 points or you don't.

You get 1 point for meeting a personal exercise goal. Mine is to exercise 30 minutes each day. Even if you plan to take an off day, you don't get a point that day.

You get 1 point for drinking an individually determined amount of water. I chose 64 oz. You can choose a higher or lower goal depending on what goal you want to meet. No half points for only drinking half your target.

At the end of the month we add up our total points and see who comes out on top. It's just a fun little way to keep track of progress and stay accountable. You can go in and edit your post each day or come back and record how you did every couple of days or whatever works for you.

2 points for being on plan:
1 point for drinking 2L of water:
1 point for 50 sit ups:
(As I don't count activity points since I am generally pretty active and don't make a point of doing the treadmill or anything specifically related to exercise these days, 50 sit ups is my goal instead!)

July 1 - (4)
July 2 - (4)
July 3 - (3)
July 4 - (3)
July 5 - (1)
July 6 - (1)
July 7 - (2)
