Suggestions

I don't know if anyone else has found this or not, but I kind of thought the points for 20 push-ups were too high. It only takes Mike about 30 seconds to do 20 push-ups, and he gets 3 points for it. Does anyone else second the motion that we move that down to 2 points? I haven't tried the sit-ups, but if crunches are the same thing as sit-ups, I'm assuming we would find the same thing on those (that perhaps they should be worth only 2 points). What say ye, bloggers?

Also, do people get the blog posting points for commenting also, or is it just for posting?

And about the water: at Weight Watchers, they told us that you actually only need 6 8-oz glasses of water per day to be healthy, unless you are nursing, in which case you should have the 8 8-oz glasses. Is anyone else finding themselves (like Jennifer) feeling a bit water-logged? If all were in favor, we could change that to be 6 8-oz glasses (for everyone except me and Emily).

Thoughts?

(And SJ, I think we're waiting for you and Whitney to actually change any points or rules since you guys are the ones "in charge," so be sure to give a final yea or nay after reading the comments. Thanks!)

6 glasses of water is fine.

You only get points for POSTING, not commenting.

As far as the push-ups/sit-ups go, though, has anyone (besides Mike) tried that? It was quite a bit harder for me to do the push-ups and the sit-ups than it sounds like it was for Mike, so I felt proud to get the three points. What do others think?

I can certainly do the push-ups, and I've been doing them each night. The sit-ups on the other hand.... I just did crunches and called it good. Was I wrong for doing that? I can take away my points if I need to.

Which one were you counting Heidi? The 1point crunches during TV commercials (which is hard with DVR, by the way) or the 3point 50 sit-ups?

Yes, I was feeling very water-logged. I didn't check the blog until the end of the week. I hadn't actually reached 8 glasses some of my days, but now I realize that I did reach 6, so I'm going to go back and give myself points a couple of days that I hadn't reached 8.
