This month has been crazy! I'm already wondering what happened to September lol
So, what would be most helpful for everyone? Should there be weekly posts for the hour log? Monthly ones? Please post below what would work best for you along with any general questions.
I'll be announcing the theme of September either later tonight or early tomorrow. Since the September part of this challenge is so short, I will post a separate September board.
Hope everyone is having a good day!!!

Weekly is better than monthly for keeping people involved
7 hours a week will be a fair challenge for me though!0 -
I also think weekly. If I do not have to post regularly, I will start missing days here and there.0

Okay good to know! I'll set it up like I do for my biking challenge :-)0

I agree- weekly or I'll forget to post here 0

Weekly will be fine.0

Hey everyone,
I created a Google Spreadsheet for myself, so I can easily type in my minutes each day and then see how many minutes I have to go by the end of the year. I thought some others might be interested in using the document as well. That way we can check on each other's progress as often as we want
LINK: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rpsKXx8QG9KqHKD46HITywDld2YujYcB-ozZwQibG2g/edit#gid=0
I have it set up so anyone with the link can edit. Just add your MFP username to a column at the top, and you can keep track of your minutes. If no one else is interested in doing it this way, that's cool. Feel free to check up on me anyway lol.
I'll still post here each week as well. It's already after noon on the 24th here in South Korea, so I'm officially starting my 100 hours a day late.0 -

What a good idea! :-) Hey, at least you're getting it done. What did you end up doing for exercise?0 -
Ah I'm still at work for today, and I'm not a morning exerciser lol. When I get home I'm going to do at least an hour of exercise videos. Probably more than usual, since I won't be getting a walk in today. It's been pouring since last night!0
-
Do we log in this thread! Im going try to do this. Today my exercise was walking for my hour!0

I put up a new September post! Better a day late than never :-D0 -
The spreadsheet is awesome! I think I might take advantage of that.
Other than that, are we posting daily or weekly?0 -
Yay I'm glad other people might be able to use the spreadsheet I'm a dork and I have all kinds of charts and checklists for exercise hahaha. If you put just the minutes (no text) in the box, it will automatically calculate your total minutes and how many minutes you have left. 0

Once a week is the minimum. Feel free to post as often as you'd like though :-)0 -
Nice spreadsheet :-)0

I like the idea of posting more frequently. I think it will keep me focused and stop me trying to do 7 hrs in a day at the end :-)0 -
The spreadsheet is an awesome addition!0

What to do when injury strikes? Saving up my hours for later :grumble:0

Just do what you can do! ANY activity counts..walking, cleaning, etc.
Sometimes you do just have to wait it out. What did you injure?0 -
I finally made it to a computer and was able to add my hours to the spreadsheet. Yay!0

LOL. So I dunno what happened on the spreadsheet. Went to log and it looks like the data was deleted. Just wanted to let y'all know. :P0

I just reentered my stats.0 -
Something went wrong with the spreadsheet and all the entries have been deleted. I'm going going to re-enter my name/stats to the spreadsheet but if this keeps happening then I won't be using this spreadsheet any longer. I don't have the time to re-enter my information all the time.

Oh I just saw this, guys! Sorry I moved out of my apartment a couple days ago, and I've been storing suitcases and boxes all over the place with friends, and have been super busy/stressed the last couple days. First time I've been on my computer, so I had no idea until now something happened with the spreadsheet... Unfortunately I wasn't really keeping track of my minutes anywhere else I see some people have reentered their data, but like dfaulk said, I also don't want any of us to have to reenter data... I guess that's an issue with a spreadsheet that's open to anyone with access to the link...
Okay there's a place where you can "see revision history." We might be able to get it back to an old point. I'm going to copy the new entries and then try to get it back to an older version. Let me see if I can figure out when things went wrong :-/0 -
Okay.. I was able to restore to a previous version and add the new minutes in.0

I hope you're getting settled in okay! Moving is always exciting and stressful at the same time.
I'm really bad with spreadsheets lol I hope you can put together your time from last week! *Hopefully* the revision history will work for everyone! I guess that there should be a back-up, too? Maybe take a screenshot after you input the numbers? At least it happened now instead of half way in, right!
Thank you for fixing it! I usually am mobile so I hadn't had a chance to get on my laptop.0 -
Actually not settled anywhere yet :-O I've been living in Korea for 3 years, and I'm moving back to America to stay with my parents at least till the end of the year on October 19th. Until then, I'm staying with different friends for a couple nights at a time and traveling around Korea a bit. So... it's me, a carry-on suitcase, and a backpack for the next couple weeks. (Keeping my 2 big suitcases for the big move back home with a friend while I travel around Korea.)
So I'm totally off my food and fitness routine the next couple weeks. I'll get some walking in when I travel, but I'm honestly not really logging food the next couple weeks and not doing my regular workouts. Just enjoying time with friends while I can. There's a lot of stuff going on back home... Dad has been seriously ill and in the hospital since June... so I figure I'll get back on track when I'm at home. I won't be working so that I can spend time with him at the hospital, or if he's released soon, I'll be his caretaker, but that means I'll have tons of time to log minutes for this challenge and to cook healthy meals for my family, even if the next couple weeks you don't see me on here too much

WOW! That's a lot of changes! I hope you take some good pictures :-)
I can relate; I traveled last week for just a few days and that really impacted my routine. Definitely do the best you can and when you are back home, you can focus better. Most of all, have fun!!! Best wishes for your Dad 0 -
Thank you~ Just checking back on this now. I havent had my computer with me and the new community section of MFP is way confusing on the phone at least. Ive gone to some traditional Korean cities, the beach, the film festival village, etc. this week, so I have taken a nice variety of pictures 0

FYI I had to revert back to the spreadsheet from October 14th. I noticed my column had been overtaken by a new member, but I copied her minutes into her column. So if you logged anything in the last day or 2, you'll want to add it in again. Sorry about that!0
