Challenge #1: Did both Option A and B (only have to do one though )
Challenge #2 Did Option A and B (another challenge has a goal of 100 minutes a day so I used this to help bump me closer to goal)
For Option A I did a low impact cardioboxing workout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1pDHRweBXk
For Option B I did a combo of dancing, jogging in place, walking in place, and some calisthenics

mrsjhardin

mrsjhardin

@Zindroth Way to go getting the challenges in. Great goal for Challenge #3!

mrsjhardin

@zindroth I apologize I just realized I hadn't added you to the spreadsheet. You are on it now. You can either post here and I'll update or you can update points yourself on the spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NAFJxOtNmv6IUXnUqwAschL6kt9C-knNAukXJTwxdo0/edit?ts=5ad8f536#gid=637110687

zindroth

@mrsjhardin no worries!

This week I will likely post here, I am a little confused on how the exercise points are calculated. Once I get it, I will update the spreadsheet to save some work

mrsjhardin

@zindroth no problem

So for Challenge #3, I really thought about it. A lil backstory. I'm working on a school committee with someone at school this week and she really pissed me off via an email on Sunday. She wrote IN CAPS (yeah...) about how an idea of mine was RIDICULOUS. Mind you the email was CC'd and BCC'd to about 20 people. After, I politely said that it would help our money balance, she went quiet. I decided that I wasn't going to let her stress me out. I know a lot of my health issues can be triggered by stress. She is not worth me feeling sick or eat things just because I think the taste would make me feel better. Well, today is Friday, I have seen her for 5 days and I just smile and move about my business. I made it. So, that was my challenge. Be mindful of MYSELF and not let others negatively get put on me.

Challenge #2 Option A... played tagged with my kids. I’m still kinda fast

zindroth

long post - sorry, trying to figure scoring out

excercise min:
M - 53
T - 0
W- 65
Th - 16
F - 68
S - 80
I think this gives me 9 points

Challenge#1 - 8 pts
Challenge #2 - 12 pts
Challlenge 3
6 days of meeting my water goals - 6 points
3 days of tracking - 6 points

I believe this is 41 points. Please let me know if this is correct (so I can just do the spreadsheed going forward)

mrsjhardin

@zindroth. You get 8 points for having 4 days over 31 minutes plus an extra 4 (since its also over 30). I made it too complicated. If we do another round. I'll make it easier.
