For Week 1, you're earning points as follows:

1 point each day for logging in your meals and exercise
1 point each day for doing the Bikini Body Mommy workout
1 point for completing the introduction (thanks for all of you who already have)

Total possible points this week is 15.

So... what do you do? You log into MFP and log your meals/exercise every day. You also go to https://www.youtube.com/user/BikiniBodyMommy and follow for the workouts.

When I get all of the initial weigh ins, I will post the tracking spreadsheet and the teams :)

PLEASE let me know if you have questions!!! And feel free to "friend" me too.

Good luck, mommies!

    Great question!

    I will be logging each BBM workout as "Calisthenics, home, light/moderate effort" unless the workout is particularly rigorous (which would be the vigorous effort choice). Moms who use heart rate monitors can also log using the information from their device.

    Do you have another suggestion? :)

    I just created the exercise and logged it under "Bikini Body Mommy 3.0 Challenge". I have a heart rate monitor and log in the calories manually.

    I will be interested to hear what kind of feedback you get from a HRM. On the last BBM cycle, Brianna said that people were reporting burns of 600+ cal, which I find hard to believe. I logged it as "Calisthenics, vigorous", at about 200 cal per session.

    It depends on a person size as well. Like average person burns 100 cal/mile. I burn only 75 per mile. So depends on size of person. For fit test I burned 118 in 14:40 according to the HRM

    Pucca_belle, the only "timed" reporting is the weigh and measure in that happens every 2 weeks or so. Completing your online journal entries is on you... you just let me know at the end of the week how you did so I can tally points for the teams. :)

    Is there a place for logging this?
    I will confess that it's you people who kept me honest yesterday! I was thrown off by having a snow day, but I got my workout and logging done!

    So it seems like most days will be logged as calisthenics vigorous?

    I'm a day behind, so I just finished the cardio for Day 2... You don't realize how out of shape you are until you are totally winded after 30 seconds of jumping jacks!

    You're logging your info into your page and reporting your points to me weekly. Does that make sense?

    Which page for logging? I'm sorry.

    PS - I've been entering into MFP as calisthenics vigorous for cardio days and calisthenics light for strength days. But that's just how I feel. :)

    You log your personal information under food and exercise. You report your point totals to me on Sundays (the "week" runs Monday to Sunday).

    One more question about the points. How does it total 15? Log each day (7) + BBM for the week (6) + Intro (1). Am I missing something?

    Good question cbhutton. I'll be watching to see the answer.
