I have a new kind of rule I try now. Accept for these cpl long ones, I walk in place, do yoga stretches, or calisthenics, while I'm logging on MFP. Also while talking on the phone. I always do things here or there throughout the day but I like this twist. I added another 61 min of cardio today just catching up on reading posts. It got me going. I didn't have an hour of posts to read. Lol Half that tho.
Did I read correctly there is a 1000 pt cap per person? I can pretty much guarantee that every week. I get closer to 1400.

Hey, @Dictorbutt, the cap is for the team totals, yes, but for the individual power rankings, the sky's the limit! I imagine you want to try to win that title this time around, seeing as you're with us from the start!1

Hey guys only 30 minutes for me today, which sucks because I've really been shooting for 45 a day during the week. We had to give the PSATs at school and I had a long break so I walked the building for half an hour! But now that I'm home I have a massive headache - why did it have to get warm and mess up my sinuses? Anyway if I try to move to much or even stretch it's going to cause a worse headache. I'm glad I took advantage early and at least got that much in. I did manage to get my water again though so day 3 of 5 done!0

Hey everybody. Sorry I have been MIA. Been really busy getting things ready outside for winter while it's still nice out.
I will enter my numbers later tonight.
@MissionEnforcer i live in Two Rivers Wisconsin. It is a small city right on Lake Michigan (I can actually see the lake from my front yard).0 -
Hi. Just relating to the Challenge 1. I am actually underage and for that reason I just wanted to let you know that I will not be accepting any direct friend requests!
@bjerzy I had the psats too!

Hey team! Did not get my exercise in today, but I did complete day 2 of the water challenge!
I was wondering, does anybody know of a good water tracker app? I was trying to use MFP's but it was a little glitchy.0 -
I ate under my calories today and got 30 minutes in of weight/circuit training. I completed day 3 of water challenge and I'm thinking I might continue to strive for 1/2 my weight in water after this water challenge is completed. I'll get more minutes in tomorrow, weight training and cardio. Good night!1
-
To ALL TEAMS: I have started to verify Challenge #1. What I am finding is that many people are leaving out the "brief description of where you live". Also, there are some people who are doing a great job, but aren't marking it on the spreadsheet. A few are claiming points, without making any post. I will try and finish tomorrow, as it seems most players have shown up.0

There's a "title" available. I'm intrigued, inspiring, and in the treadmill now!
I welcome a challenge that encourages more exercise... To start off the baking and comfort food cooking season. 1 -
Morning. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! I get tomorrow off work, so today is my "friday" and I am really happy!! LOL!
I did well yesterday, like a Hat Trick - I hit all my goals - calorie limit, water, and exercise! LOL!
@twitch82 - I've been procrastinating about cleaning up outside, but it's getting cooler everyday here. This weekend -must do it - the snow will be here before we know it!
Have a good day, Team 3!

Thx for letting us know. However we can help you in this journey, then post here. Welcome to the team0 -
Okay. My turn. Challenge #1 @MissionEnforcer
I live in a small town of 15,000 people in southwestern Ontario, Canada. It is Tillsonburg, and Stompin' Tom Connors even wrote a song about it..."my back still aches when I hear that word, Tillsonburg". He is referring to the days when priming tobacco was done by hand, a back breaking job, since this is tobacco country. Well, was tobacco country. A lot, but not all, of the tobacco has been replaced by other crops...fruits and vegetables...that like the same sandy soil. We are surrounded by farmland, but you only have to drive an hour and a half (in no traffic) to get to the Toronto International Airport. We are only half an hour from Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes, and two hours (give or take) to border crossings into Michigan and New York. Being in Canada, yes, we get all four seasons. Right now the maple leaves are beautiful in their red, orange and yellow hues. But after they fall to the ground, they have to be raked up. They are not so beautiful then!
I have friended everyone* on our team. I have also gone through and informed each member of who they are missing, so completing their lists will be a done deal shortly.
*except the team member that I told you about, mbansal123. She informed us that she is underage, and will not be accepting friends on MFP.1 -
I just did the viking chant video three times, and each of the drumming videos twice. I banged and jumped along to the intro video. All done. Yes, @hawkins410, it really gets your heart pumping! I found the pink ball video the toughest because she does more deep knee bending than the other girl. And I took several breaks between them!0
-
So I double checked all my friends request. I have only mbansal123 missing who has explained why not accepting. (sent second request per the rules-understood it won't accept so no worries there )

I will go next for Challenge #1 @MissionEnforcer
I live in a town called High Wycombe in South Buckinghamshire, UK, which has a population of 120,000. It is nestled in the Chiltern Hills with the river Wye flowing through it and there are areas in the valley that offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Chilterns. Like I said before, it is almost midway between London and Oxford (29 miles from Charing Cross and 27 miles from Oxford) and because of that served as a travellers' stop and a market town in the olden days. It was well known for its paper and furniture industry and there is a museum in town showcasing it's rich furniture history. It is a mix of the old and new with a weekly Farmer's market which is said to be operating since the Medieval period and new shopping malls and retail parks. It is mainly a commuter town with most people working in London, a short train journey takes you to the City. We also get all four seasons and winters are particularly difficult because of the steep roads. Thankfully, we haven't had much snow for the last few years!
I have friended everyone except mbansal123, so this is complete.
I am currently 3/5 for the water and the drumming workouts are still pending. I am planning to do them tmrw.2 -
Hey everyone, it's Tuffgirl19! We are currently living in Alexandria, VA and I've really enjoyed having four real seasons. The trees are beautiful and the leaves are beginning to turn. The flowers in the Spring are gorgeous! We were snowed in for a week last year and that was an experience! 22 inches- my son loved playing in the snow with his friends. We live in a high rise condo and that was an adjustment for me. We're within walking distance of a historic park and it's really nice for walking, playing, etc.
I find the people in the immediate area are pretty friendly. It has a small town feel and is pretty slow paced. Old Town is not far from us and they have great restaurants, shopping and many blocks to walk!
@MissionEnforcer I've completed 3 days of water challenge, after today is complete, it will be 4! Only a few ounces to go. My son wants to do the Viking chant and drums with me! I've sent friend requests to everyone on the team and accepted all friend requests received.2 -

I'm half way through the drumming - I didn't realize how terrible I am at drumming! It's as if I have no rhythm, which is totally not true! I felt like a fool. All of this means I had a great time doing it! hahaha It's fun and I'm looking forward to doing the other half.
I didn't get through the water today. I drank a lot of other beverages, but I've been peeing so much that I'm not about to chug 32 oz of water. It's okay, I'll get it tomorrow and Saturday. I'm having so much fun following along with everyone else - let's keep it up Team 3!1 -
Hey team.. I really need to be on regular computer to properly tell you about myself! But for now... I'm on track with water, first challenge done and will be hitting videos this weekend.
My little guy (yeah 5'7,148 13 year old!) Is having knee surgery tomorrow so gonna be a long day then a long weekend of nursemaid.
Stress from this and my Hs senior having last hs soccer games and senior stuff along with college apps and Id camps are kicking my behind... just saying stress is NOT my friend. Thankfully this challenge is starting to make me move a bit. Will update spreadsheet tomorrow or Sat. Thanks for listening... hopefully I will be chatty again soon!1 -
I completed my water today, 4/5!! I went to the gym and did strength training/weight lifting for 30 minutes and walked for 45 tonight! Im just starting strength/weight training and I'm a little sore in a good way. I was under on my calories and had a great day overall! Good night all. 1

@MissionEnforcer - Arizona.....We are dealing with 97 degree heat while others are getting cold spells. I am also friends with everyone in the group. I am on day 4 of water challenge. Thx!0 -
Life got in the way of my fitness for the last 2 days and I was not able to put up big numbers because there was just not enough hours in the day but I am proud that I still had 30 mins or more each day.
Happy Friday everyone.2 -
@MissionEnforcer - I completed challenge #1 - viking dance/chant.
Thanks!0 -
Nice work, @summ72! Doing what you can, instead of doing nothing, which is easier!
Always busy in the sporting household of @sandkp!
@smile_laughter and @tuffgirl19, you only have to tag MissionEnforcer when the challenge calls for it. In this case, it was the description of where we lived. When you complete the drum videos for challenge #2 or the water for challenge #3, you just enter it in the spreadsheet. You can tell us about it here, but you don't even have to do that if you don't want to!
Everyone seems to be doing well so far. I see a lot of exercise and a lot of completed food journals on my news feed! Keep up the good work!0 -
@MissionEnforcer this is the description of where I live. I live in Doncaster South Yorkshire in the UK. Doncaster is very diverse, it is an ex coal mining community but the mines closed a long time so there is a lot of deprivation in some areas and a lot of unemployment. I am very lucky in that I live in quite a rural affluent area. There are some nice green areas and fields to walk my dog. The area is reasonably safe for my children to play and it is a very friendly community, I know lots of people through the local school and feel lucky to live here.0
-
Completed the drumming videos and they were actually a lot more fun than I expected! The kids heard me and joined me, which made it really worth it.
I have a short strength session planned for tmrw and with that I will be done for the week...might get in a extra cardio session depending on how I feel.
We are almost in Iceland, Team! Another 220 miles!0 -
Hello Everyone! This is mbansal123. I live in Cary, North Carolina which is known for its research triangle and its diversity. I am a student that goes to a very diverse high school and I am interested in medical research as a future career. I am a very athletic student and I am a marathon runner and martial artist. My favorite things about the fall season are that I get to spend a lot of time volunteering and running underneath the colorful trees! We are almost at our goal! GL Team!

Hey everybody! Got 50 minutes in on the treadmill tonight! Also Day 4 of Water Challenge Completed! One more day left for me and I will have all the challenges finished! I have loved drinking more water. First day was a little difficult, but after a while you get used to it! Of course your bladder never seems to get used to it lol.
@mbansal123 Thanks for the suggestion, but I actually have an android! I downloaded an app to try called Water Time Pro and it seems to work pretty well. 1
