    7/9 exercises done under sodium I like to watch sodium too. it so plays with your body!! :( 377 burn
    7/10 exercises done...modified. Knee messed up again. Will be under sodium. 267 burn
    7/11 exercises done under sodium 377 burn
    7/12 no exercises under sodium 0 :(
    7/13 exercises done....under sodium 292 burn
    7/14 exercises done under sodium 200 cals burned

    So hope I did the spreed sheet right. weight I am leaving the same at 124. I have been any where from 124 to 127 all week so who knows. The heat here has been so hot. TOTALLY NOT typical for Northern Michigan. I happen to be in pig heaven over it but not many people other than me are. We are just a tourist town and they love it and are here by the tons. Which is good for the $$ but good lord there sure are a lot of them!!

    It's still hot down here too. Thankfully not the 100+ that we were getting before. Stay cool there Libby.

    I don't see any updates. Are you using the correct sheet?

    These are the challenges for the week of July 16th.

    WEEKLY – FRUITS AND VEGGIES!!
    We are supposed to get 5 Fruits and Veggies a day. You can earn 1 point per 5 F/ V that you consume. This is for a FULL serving not a partial serving. You must add the total daily and list what you had. You can get unlimited points based off of how many fruits and veggies you consume (1 point per 5 consumed). We will do partials, so if you have 12 servings your points will be 2.4.
    http://athletics.macalester.edu/custompages/Deno_Videos/nutrition/Fruit_and_Vegetable_Chart.pdf

    BONUS – Log as many miles as you can. Treadmill and elliptical machines count as one point per mile. Spin and stationary bicycles count as 25%. For example, if you run 2 miles and cycle/spin for 10 miles, you earn 4.5 points… 2 for the running and 2.5 for the cycling. Let me know if you have any questions.

    no I wasn't using the right sheet!! But it won't let me add anything either. I am useless when it comes to these sheets. I did exercise all days but Thursday. under sodium, 5 days and burned 1513 calories total for the week.

    That's alright. I will add it for you :)

    BetterWithAge Posts: 691 Member
    Nu, no worries about not checking in daily. You loaded all of the information on Sunday so you did good. :) As for the sodium, it is very difficult, but it keeps us aware of the silent menace. Good luck on that exam :)

    Libby, it looks like you entered the information just fine. :)

    Hi Ladies...seems like it's getting too difficult for me to catch up with the challenge and report in. I am preparing for my presentation and it takes all my time. I do try to put in exercises but this week I could not do anything for the challenge. I am going to be very irregular till 11th August but then I get back.

    In the meanwhile if the next challenge starts, count me in. Though I am not sure how much I can do in the starting of next month. Once I get done with this exam...I will be relaxed but till then stress levels are way high :-)

    Bad week for me! Can't decide if it is the heat I love or being lazy or not much exercise. Probably all of the above. Just read that Belinda is doing the challenge for August. I am in. I need to be back on track and doing the right thing. Way too much snacking .
    We need some more people for our team!!!
    I will post and see if we can get anyone.

    We needed the motivation, so we challenged each other. It will be nice to be a team again, instead of rivals. LOL
