Week Three of our get off the couch and move Valentine's Day challenge!

For those who want to jump in, here is a little info! This challenge is inspired by one of my favorite sitcom couples: Jim and Pam from the office! They are just so adorable! So we are starting off in Scranton, Pennsylvania and heading to NYC: The closest romantic spot on earth! Time square! Central Park! Empire State Building! Boy, we have a lot of touring to do when we get there!

So its 120 miles from Scranton to NYC. The goal is to move 120 miles. Run, walk, jog, elliptical, swim, whatever your preference! As long as its you moving your body: It counts! We are keeping track daily whenever we log miles on MFP. Just check in with the thread! Here's an example of how to check in:

Goal: 120 miles

Mon: 3.5 Miles (Running)
Tue: 0
Wed: 5.0 Miles (Elliptical)

Total for week: 8.5
Complete Total:
Left to go: 111.5

If you want a ticker for your signature just go to tickerfactory.com and they will be listed under fitness and exercise. Once you've created it you can copy the code, come back to MFP, click on signature right up top where it says "Home, Recent Posts, My Topics, Signature..." and then paste said code in there!!

  • So I haven't been able to exercise for like a week and a half and I went to the doctor today and he told me no exercising for at least another 2 weeks until my follow up appointment. I am so bummed and I doubt I'll be able to catch up when he finally does clear me because i'm sure I'll have to go easy at first. :( So, I'm pretty much out of the challenge, but I hope that everyone else makes it to NYC!!! I will try be signing up for a new challenge as soon as I'm able!

    Thanks! It makes me sad cause this was the first challenge I joined. I am surprised at how much I miss exercising. I want to do it so badly now that I can't! haha. It's also making it harder to stick with my eating habits because I feel a little defeated...but I will not let this throw me out of whack!! :)
