hehe i had visions of you bloated in water and rushed to the hospital to have your tummy pumped

my doc asked me to reduce my water consumption as i was drinking more than 3 litres each day. i find it hard not to reach for water but at least my bladder doesn't wake me during the night now

2 pts exercise
1 pt water
2 pts healthy meals.

breakfast is still my big downfall. i tend to skip it as when i get up in the morning, the thought of food just isn't appealing. it takes a lot of "convincing" myself to even have a bowl of cereal it's a work in progress.

sooo, 5 pts today.

Thanks for the help Sweet Pea and Wide in Winnipeg - Ok I've got 1pt water, 2 pts exercise and 3 pts healthy meals.

Again with the questions - I was very good today - no cheating, but how does that fit in? If I have broiled fish and salad for dinner that is good, but If I follow it with 1/2 gal of ice cream... (not that I'm going to) - Do I just not report the good meal?

I'll check in tomorrow - This is great - I'm glad to see we are all having a good start.

good question kelly. i was wondering the same thing.

Wendy you machine, 1hr and 20mins of working out, well, **** I am not up to your caliber there, lol .

Great effort everyone

It is 9:20 and I just got finished tucking away the kidlets and had planns to try and get some more time on the treadmill but DH just got home from work and is going running and quite frankly I am just too tired. SO I am going to watch the election coverage. Here is my totals;

Exercise- 1pt I'll do better tomorrow I promise
Water - 2pts, yes that 4 litres, can't believe I did it.
Healthy Meals - 3pts

So thats 6pts all told,

Not bad for my first day!!

3 points for exercise
2 points for water
2 points for food choices
total for Day 1 = 7 points!

Is there going to be a running spreadsheet somewhere, that would be really cool if we could see it all laid out like that?

Water: 2 (4L)
Exercise: big fat 0
Healthy Meals: 3

Total of 5 points.

Planned on hitting the gym after evening class today, which I had would be just an intro today and not the full three hours (I just got out, and it's already 10pm). Grrr! Was dressed for it and everything...

Oh we started already. Well I am going to get on the ball now!
So do we have someone to keep totals? Is it going to be updated daily then a weekly over all champion or something? maybe monthly?

How many ounces in a liter? I drink by ounces so if someone knows the conversion, I'll post in liters.

Getting motivated already.

approx 33.8 ounces in a liter! Cheers!

added another 45 minute workout after i got the kids to bed.

ladypeace i think we need to keep our own totals. it's too big a job for anyone to do unless anyone would like to volunteer?

Liz - wow that's a lot of exercise. you earned more points in 1 day than i did in 2 days hmmmm more work needed
