Gearing up for August Team Challenge on MyFitnessPal.com

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I am the team captain for Team Waistin' A-weigh on myfitnesspal.com's "Let's Kick The Crap Out Of August" team challenge.


Each week will consist of daily and weekly exercise and/or food and drink challenges. Each team mate earns points for completing challenges and weight loss. 
I set my weight loss goal for August - 10 pounds. Can I do more than that? Probably, but I wanted to be realistic. 
Here are the challenges set for week 1:


TEAM CHALLENGE: 
Log every day and not go over calories, Monday - Saturday 
Log at least 64 oz. of water, Monday - Saturday 

DAILY CHALLENGES: 
Monday - 100 jumping jacks 
Tuesday - Walk, run, or jog 1 mile (IN ADDITION TO YOUR REGULAR EXERCISE) 
Wednesday - 50 sit ups or crunches 
Thursday - 40 up and downs 
Friday - 25 pushups 
Saturday - 25 squat lunges 


It wouldn't be called a challenge if it weren't challenging. I can do it!!




Wish me luck!
