Week 12: Bonus Challenge 8/30/08-9/05/08
Each day that you drink a minimum of 64oz of water, AND you sleep for a minimum of 8 hours, give yourself one point.

I know we've done these two before, but I am combining them into one for this weeks challenge.

Just a reminder:

Water: Assists chemical reactions such as the burning of glucose and the breakdown of fat for energy

Here are some interesting facts:

* 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (This likely applies to half the world population)
* Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
* One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
* Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. :svengo:
* A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
* Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
* Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day (half of that coming from food and drinks other than plain water) could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.


Lack of sleep increases overeating
When you’re sleep deprived, your ghrelin levels increase at the same time that your leptin levels decrease. The result is an increased craving for food and not feeling full. Add the fact that sleep deprived people tend to chose different foods to snack on—mainly high calorie sweets and salty and starchy foods—and it’s easy to see how these small changes can lead to long-term weight gain.
 
Sorry about my points this week guys.. i have really been in a funk lately.. i think school starting really got me stressed out and I had too much on my plate.

I had surgery on my ear yesterday and am not able to exercise for 2 weeks they say.. I did not know that or I would have worked really hard earlier in the week to get some points in! I thought i was just getting a mole taken off but it was a lot more serious..I have also not been able to sleep because I have to sleep sitting up straight which doesnt fly with me.. i prefer the fetal position lol..

I had to get a skin graft on my ear after the surgery and they say that the graft will not take if blood rushes to my head or i accidentally bump it or anything so i am walking around all slow like a zombie bc i don't want my ear to shrivel up!!! they told me i even need someone else to tie my shoes for me and I am not able to wash my hair because of the bandages!!!! 2 weeks with nasty hair!... i usually take 2 showers a day so i have really been down in the dumps bc i feel nasty... anyways...

maybe we can work something out for this week where my points don't count against the team or i get the same points of my teams average? I can defiantly do the bonus challenge of sleep and water but i dont want to hurt the team! Let me know what you guys think..

Hey Christen! Holy Moley! Sorry to hear about your mole situation. I'm getting a small one removed in a few weeks too, I hope I don't have to sleep sitting up! Yikes.

I hope you take good care of your new skin, that's what is most important.

As for points, I can totally do the teams average with 3 people instead of 4, until you are able to exercise again. If you think you can do the bonus challenge, you can just try to get those points meanwhile, or you can opt out on all until you are well enough.

I'll leave it up to you, but it won't hurt your team at all if I average just 3 until you are back. So don't worry! Take care of yourself.

Thanks for figuring all of that out MJ.. if you are just getting a mole removed it probably wont be that bad!! The only reason mine was so tough is because of the location.. they had to cut off the tip of my ear to make sure they got it all out since it was precancerous.. then since it was on my ear.. they didnt want it to look like a rat took a bite out of it so i had to get a skin graft...thats why i cant exercise or anything.. i actually feel great but the doctor said i cant bend over and tie my shoes, exercise, sweat, or anything that would make blood rush to my head or the skin graft wouldn't take!! i dont want it to shrivel up so i am just taking it easy! :chillpill:

I am sure yours will be fine!! I am going to get some of my stitches out on Thursday so I am going to ask if I can do some light exercise.. hopefully they say yes!

Was it your left ear? Just curious, because I get a lot of sun on that side when I drive. I've been noticing little freckles forming, I'm going to have to step up the sunscreen.

I'm glad they were able to do some cosmetic on your mole, no rat bites for you! lol
 
hey guys just wanted to check in I've been attending to a few things....there was a death in the family so I've been preoccupied with that

yeah i was my left side...you dont really think about sunscreen on the ears! but if you have fair skin its important.. im glad they cut this thing off i dont want cancer..but it itches like hell! I cant wait to get this bandage off next friday!
 
Has ANYONE gotten together with their roomies and reserved rooms? I posted about rooms quite a while ago and no response (except from Mac).... Are we REALLY doing this Vegas Trip or what? Cuz if not, I want to make other plans and I don't want to waste my money if people aren't really going so.... what's up? Here is the original post:

Okay I have done my research on the hotels. I say we stay at The Sahara. It is right on the strip so we can just walk everywhere.
All the rooms are just standard rooms (two beds) and are $163.75 a night. That is the rate for Thursday the 6th through Saturday the 8th. So, total for each person with taxes and cancellation waver is $140.73. Going off of the responses I did get from the PM's I have made room lists:
ROOM ONE
MJ (flying in Thursday)
Humps (flying in Thursday)
LeeLee (flying in Friday)
Jess (flying in Thursday)
ROOM TWO
Alta (flying in Thursday)
Alane (flying in Thursday)
Christenhere (flying in Thursday)
Erika
ROOM THREE
Shemoves (flying in Friday)
Shaun (flying in Thursday)
Paula (driving in Thursday)
Josh (Paula's husband)
*We can get a trundle bed for shemoves when she gets here on Friday for $10 extra a night so that Shaun and shemoves don't have to share a bed" ;)


Scroll down to The Sahara and click on "book it"... it will walk you through the rest.
If anyone has a problem with their room assignment, please refer to the complaint department lol... honestly I did the best I could based off those who responded first and based on when people were coming into vegas and the odd number we have going... so hopefully it all works out. One person from each room will need to make the reservation and give a credit card number to hold the room. That will be between each room, not me.
 
hey ladies.. just checking in! hope you are all doing well :)

anyone have a plan on who should book the room???? If i could do it I would but I wont have the money until November so we wouldn't want to wait that long...
 
I'm guessing we'll book our room this week. I will be in the middle of month end close at work so unfortunately I have to fly in Friday night or early Saturday morning. I'm getting excited though...it's right around the corner!!

I think you all know my left shin and my right ankle are really bothering me from my marathon training. I've decided to take a few days off this week from exercising to rest up for my 18 mile run this Saturday. This means my points are going to be unusually low. I'm sorry ladies...I am in pain and I'm doing the best I can to try to squeeze in breaks for my legs between my long runs.

I'll try to at least do weights for the other body parts and maybe some pilates...but not sure yet. Hope to be on track soon!!

Diet is good, sleep is good, water intake is good....hopefully I can loose some weight this week!!

Go Playmates!!

Hey Sensa!

Sorry to hear about the death in your family. My condolences.

I know your mind is probably not on points right now, but I noticed you posted on the forum almost every day last week, and even on Friday, but never posted any points at all during the week. I know this because I was searching away for anything with points on it to help out the Playmates.

Just want to remind you and anyone else reading this, that events come up unexpectedly, and posting your points during the week, will help out the team, in the event you can't post anything, or have an emergency to tend to.

Sensa- If you want to take this week off from points while you are preoccupied with the family, let me know, and I will average the team with 3 players this week.

Take as much time as you need. Let me know either way what you want to do.
