WAIST AWAYS - April 2019

I'm wondering if my K-to-Grade3 School Teacher friend could help me adapt the Baseball Scoring to encourage my French Review Homework efforts (which are very much IGM firmly keeping wheel away from Responsible Decision-Maker Dude mode these days ... kinda like @jugar getting started on her "need to put in place before even starting" concert review project.
I DO respond well to "tasks framed as games". That's why my Wii exergame has been my primary cardio for so many years ....
Instead of "singles", I could make it "1/4 way up the Eiffel Tower", or something like that.
Any ideas? Either for "scoring visual" or "how to break it down"? (15 minutes on flash cards; 5 verbs written out in all tenses; plus a whole hour of concentrated work (regardless of type) = All the way up / Home Run Equivalent.)
Since we don't know the content of your homework formats, the simplest and hopefully effective thing could be by time: 15 minutes single, 30 minutes double, 45 minutes triple, 60 minutes home run or whatever numbers work for you. Easy but could work. If you have particular exercises that are harder to master (or make yourself start!) then they could have a shorter time frame for the same result. Do you have someone else who is doing the same course? You could compete against each other if you're both game.0 -
BASEBALL SUNDAY 21 APRIL
I'm still not 100% sure of our lineup, so we are too many for now until everything settles in. Bring in the stats -- you don't have to figure out how many bases it's worth, just list your number of serious workout minutes and / or number of steps for the day. I'll figure out the scores - no worries!

Just so you know how the scores are figured out -
STEPPING
7,500 STEPS= SINGLE
10,000 steps = DOUBLE
15,000 steps = TRIPLE
20,000 steps = HOME RUN
WORKOUTS
30 MIN workout = single
45 MIN workout = double
60 MIN workout = triple
120 MIN WORKOUT HOME RUN
1 workout = one particular activity. You can do 30 minutes treadmill, 45 minutes zumba class, 45 minutes bike for example = single double double Sometimes 2x45 gets you more bases than one activity for 90 minutes! Just post your times for each activity and we'll figure it out...
Steps for the day include everything, even if not officially "workout". So your treadmill workout might be 30 minutes, but your step total be a lot more than just that 30 minutes. Give me both the minutes of workout and the total steps. They both count! If you're not counting steps, your minutes of "real" workout all count, so it's OK too.
I know it is a bit complicated, but just report EVERY DAY what you have done, and you will score. We are a great team, and the next 2 weeks will be even better!
If you need a rest day, let me know in advance - then it is a BUNT, and you still get on base 1. If I hear nothing and you report nothing, it is a strike out.0 -

I just got a Fitbit Zip and my son helped me get it synced to my new tablet ... so now I get to see how many NON-exergame steps I can get in a day. I won't be joining the Step Challenge yet .... and absolutely NOT syncing it with MFP at this time .... it's only been active since ~4:00 p.m. today .... but it will be fun to see what happens over the course of an average week or two. I am just not sure how it decides on "active minutes" unless it is a question of pace .... because this model clips on your waistband (or neckline if jogging) and isn't built into a wristband to check pulse.
I wonder what it will make of my bike time, and my Core Cardio (dance) time?1 -
Still Looking for Sunday People (I realize that with today being Easter Sunday, you may not have even signed on ... but let us know A weight ASAP please)
@Andreabroadley
@MrsRecinos0507
Heads Up for Monday
@reflectionofme
@tdrjustus3 (if you would like to change your weigh-in day, please let us know - it is easily done)
For some of us, Monday will be Back to Normal / for others, one last day for an extra-long weekend. Which for you? If you are off (like me) what will you be doing? Post-family gathering clean-up? collecting up all the extra-well hidden eggs the kiddies missed (because you deliberately "hid" them too high ....
) hitting the half-price chocolate shelves at the drug store and or grocery store?
The cost (in calories) is just as high tomorrow as it was yesterday, no matter WHAT the change in sticker price. Be sure to read the nutrition info label and decide if it is TRULY worth the "calorie cost".
Don't forget about my "180 calories for a 1/4 - bunny" post from earlier this weekend. That would have been 720 calories JUST for that ..... which wouldn't have even been "part of a regular meal" ... but rather a "side snack"0 -

@jugar here are my Sunday stats- 18k steps and 3 hrs walking2 -
A total of 47 minutes (43 minutes walking and 4 minutes climbing stairs) for Wed. Steps were 6832. The rest of the days nothing steps were under 4,000.
Starting week Easter (Sunday) I got a 31 minute walk in walking around the auction. Steps nothing to count.1 -

Even if you don't have enough steps for a baseball hit, send in the count anyhow. They ALL count on the steps team. And you are on both!0 -
BASEBALL UPDATE - yesterday is looking beautiful! Fill in the gaps, and then we have to figure out if anyone wants to share one spot, or not be in the "official" stats
since we can have only 6 official members. We can keep our own internal score though - I'm happy to be unofficial, or share a spot if someone wants to alternate days, only do one week, etc.

Fantastic job on getting all the weigh-ins done, people! Tomorrow morning will be a cinch for our team.
Baseball news:
Today is the last day of the first 2-week series - results will be posted as soon as the scores are all in.
For the next 2 weeks, here are questions and confirmations I have:
@jlbtnc - do you want to continue?
@sue_01 - confirmed
@martinesther88 - confirmed
@kittu125 - do you want to continue?
@fourathomej - do you want to continue?
@evangsimmons170 - confirmed
@leni1us - are you interested?
I'll continue even if we already have 6 players - but just keep my score internally for fun. If I'm needed to make up the 6 I'm in, or if anyone can only do one week, or some other "ringer" situation. We can be flexible. I will also continue to keep score and drive you crazy with too many posts!
NO MATTER WHAT - everyone who is still in or coming in as new players - be sure to track your exercise tomorrow and post it so that the new series gets off to a flying start!
I was out of town this weekend so I'm just now responding. I'd like to join if it's not too late. If you already have enough players, I can sit this one out.0 -
Steppers!
Another great week, but there are a few number missing:
@Blackbeautysue - all week needed
@jlbtnc - if you had any numbers for Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat - I know it was a week of sickness and troubles, so don't worry if you have none!
@leni1us - Friday and Saturday
@Kittu125 @sue_01 @mari_moulin Saturday
Thanks!
Here ya go....I was out of town this weekend but still kept track on my Fitbit...

SUPER job! Tough choice - everyone on the team is fantastic. But for now, I'll step back and just be the score keeper, and @leni1us will also be with me on the secret home team. We'll keep tracking, and if anyone needs to drop off at some point, we'll be ready to jump in.2 -
You can use a replacement for me for for today (Monday), I tried exercising and all I am doing is coughing and can't breath. Will walk tomorrow because have to pick grandson up from the bus stop.2

I wonder what it will make of my bike time, and my Core Cardio (dance) time?
On the bright side .... my Core Cardio 45 minute trial did register as "43 active minutes" and multiple 1000's of steps .... (three trials on the bike with the zip clipped first to waist, then to bra, THEN to sock all call out zeros or negligible for each 5 minute test. The 5 minute jogging-game steps test was in the 800's.)
By the end of next week, I will know if it is "worth " being on the "hidden BBall team" .... without risking getting sidetracked to too much jogging time / not enough French time. That was happening when I could ONLY count steps though the game ..... but that limitation no longer applies ..... in the IGM vs Rational Decision Maker Dude at the helm sense of the word "worth"0 -

You are complicated! Your IGM Rational Decision Maker Dude will have to turn you into une francophone bien relaxe qui ne fait que de ce qu'elle sait va se faire respirer profondément!0 -

Will do! I really hope you are feeling better soon - this cold seems severe, and had better leave soon, or else!1 -

It's time for the STEP report!
Our ever-diligent stepping team has travelled 765,644 steps this week. That is 638 km / 383 miles. That is exactly the distance from Montreal (QC) to Waterloo (ON), for those of us up here in Canada. I used to drive that route frequently! It would be a LONG way to walk.
The same amazing team members are still the TOP 3 as they have been all month. They switch around a bit, but the same 3, consistent, committed, diligent. They are amazing. This week the order is:
@reflectionofme 107,396 steps / 89.5 km / 53.7 miles
@sue_01 106,585 steps / 89 km / 53 miles
@Kittu125 86,527 steps / 72 km / 43 miles
On average, just over 7 miles each per day. Every day well over 10,000 steps.
The whole team averaged 10,938 steps per day. That is serious!
A rousing WELL DONE to the whole team.4 -
Steps Sunday 4/21 5,630
I am over 12,000 today. Maybe I’m back on track. IDK. Hope so. 42 minute walk. Over 50 active minutes. My water has been pretty good today.3 -
