Excited to be part of this group and be motivated by all the team members to get healthy. I’ve been trying unsuccessfully for a while to lose weight and I’m hoping this challenge will give me more encouragement to reach my goals.6

Can you explain what you’re posting here? I’m new to the group for July.
It isn't something the group does, it's just something I do. It's just a shorthand to identify the types of exercise I've done. I was annoyed by how my news feed would always say something very general about my exercise. So was a friend, who started posting a breakdown using emojis to indicate the activity. I liked that idea and found some emojis to use for my activities.
So, for example, today my news feed might say (Mondays are a heavy exercise day for me):
burned 1,833 calories doing 238 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Aerobics, general"
And here in fact is what I did:
🧘♂️20 min; 💪26 min; 💗55 min; 🤽♂️50 min; 🏊♂️900 yds/30 min; 🚶♂️3.17 mi/57 min; 👣12,321 steps
And here is what those emojis stand for:- 🧘♂️yoga and/or pilates - did 20 minutes of yoga today
- ☯ t'ai chi - not today
- 💪 strength training - did 26 minutes of strength training today
- 💗 cardio - did 55 minutes of general cardio today (a Silver Sneakers class at my gym)
- 🤽♂️ aquafit - did 50 minutes of water aerobics today (another class at my gym)
- 🏊♂️ swimming - swam 900 yards in 30 minutes today
- 🚴♂️ cycling - not today
- 🚶♂️ walking - walked 3.17 miles in 57 minutes today
- 👣 steps - got in ~12,321 steps today.
I keep track of all this in a spreadsheet. I'm handy with formulas, so I am able to create various summaries of the things I track. I have an expanded version of this list of activities, but when I do a lot of various activities, the expanded version won't fit on one line:
🧘♂️yoga/pilates:20 min; 💪strength:26 min; 💗cardio:55 min; 🤽♂️aquafit:50 min; 🏊♂️swim:900 yds / 30 min; 🚶♂️walk:3.17 mi / 57 min; 👣12,321 steps
Feel free to use these emojis, or others, or just be more verbose, or just post your total. There's no one way to do it.
