    I have updated the spreadsheet to incorporate the food and exercise challenge. It seems to always be a work in progress, but I hope it is easy to navigate. Enter "1" if completed food, or "0" if you didnt. For the exercise challenge, only put in 30 for minutes, even if you exercised for longer. Below is a screenshot of how I set up the tracking, and I have a "key" of what the emojis mean at the top of the sheet.

    Tracked: yes

    Exercise: yes
    Steps: 12,314
    Water: 113.8
    Food: yes stayed on plan
    Exercise: yes, 30 minutes bike

    Today I managed to meet all goals despite November 4th being a tough day for me. Today marks 10 years since my father passed away, but I am staying focused. I had a lot of activity (moving a bunch of boxes, pallets, etc) at work, and just finished the bike. I am going to feel it tomorrow as this was one of the roughest(physically) days for me at work!

    What unit is the water measured in? I can convert what I track and join you if that's ok :) Also how do I access the spreadsheet please?

    @Tracie_Lord I have been using ounces for the water. I just added you to the spreadsheet! Here is the link to the spreadsheet

    Just let me know what you want your step goal to be! I will adjust it once you let me know 😊

    WEEK 1 - Question of the week

    Other than walking (which a lot of our team members do as shown in the step challenge), what types of exercise do you fit into your week? This is for me because I’m very good about walking on the treadmill, but I think I need to add something else.

    Looking forward to your answers and good luck on this first week in November.

    I’ve been doing monthly challenges off and on with other MFP users. Currently in upper body challenge (curls, expansions and pushups) and a kettle bell challenge (swings, squats and lunges). These types of challenges really help with variety.

    @cmhubbard92 please add me to the spread sheet, I will try to add this info to my updates

    Exercise: yes - ttraining with PT at gym. Everytime I turned around in bed last night, I thought about my trainer. I felt him in my muscles.

    @petrocoetsee :D Sometimes I wish there was a laughter button as one of the options! This is hilarious, but also means you’re doing good.

    "Pre-log your food for 4 days(breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks). Challenge yourself by sticking to your pre-logged plan for three of the five days!

    Things like fruit/vegetables can be changed if you run out/they go bad"


    Just re-read the “rules” to this challenge and realized I was not following it completely. I pre-logged my food (I do it in a journal first and not MFP), but realized I had an extra snack (within my calorie allowance) both days this week so I didn’t “stick” to the plan. Lessons learned - plan more snacks :)

    I pre-logged my snacks for the first time ever this week because I knew I couldn't get through without having them and we still have candy in the house.

    I messed up on numbers as well... instead of five it should say 4 🤦‍♀️ I planned 2 yummy slices of pumpkin loaf each day... somehow able to avoid the candy!

    @Coral333 thank you! I'm glad it's inspiring you all! My progress has slowed down a lot, so I was a little bummed out, but planning on focusing way harder as the holiday season approaches. The day before thanksgiving(Nov. 27) being my 1 year mark on this journey!
