Fitter Fitness For Fall: Crossing The Final Finish Line

We made it! We are here at week 8 of the 2024 Fall 5% Challenge, and we’re approaching the final finish line! Heidi (hicim705), Diane (Dianedoessmiles1), Barb (ladyluk1), and I (Ceriusly1) are honored you chose to share your healthy lifestyle journey with us! Thank you for your patience and understanding, as we tried a slightly different format. We were definitely on a learning curve. We hope to see everyone back in the New Year for the 2025 Winter 5% Challenge!

🏁 Race 🏁

It's a foot race! Each team has a goal of 6,000 minutes and a "ribbon to break." Exercise to break the ribbon before the end of the week as your team crosses the finish line. One minute of exercise = one minute closer to the goal. 120 Minutes Max.

Take Your Measurements!

The final Healthy Habit for this challenge is "Take Your Measurements!" If you took your measurements in week 1, take the same measurements one time this week.

If you choose to track publicly, the Spreadsheet is set up for the following measurements.

Bust
Chest
Upper Arm
Forearm
Waist
Hips
Thigh
Calves

How did you do? Do you see differences? Can you see the value of taking your measurements as a motivational tool?

I found this article about the benefits of tracking measurements, which helped me identify untapped areas of success.

Exercise Summary: Each minute you exercise, moves your team closer to “Break The Ribbon” and reach 6,000 minutes! Remember, it’s 120 minutes max to count.

Healthy Habits Summary:
✔️To score points this week
1. Take Your Measurements: One time this week = 15 Points
2. Incorporate FIBER into your diet. Look at the table and the daily recommendations of FIBER. Try to incorporate more fiber into your day.
~ If you have mindfully incorporated fiber into your day, give yourself 5 points.
~ BONUS: If you have met your suggested daily requirement (or get within 3 points under/over), give yourself 5 more points!!
Scoring = 0 points; 5 points or 10 points.

We will record this on one thread. (example)
Saturday (Please also note the day that you are reporting about)
My Exercise: 40
My Fiber: 5 + 5 (Bonus) = 10
