    Last week's challenge

    - Fitness Enthusiasts (Beginners): Log 110 minutes of exercise

    - Fitness Buffs (Intermediate): Log 235 minutes of exercise

    - Fitness Elites (Advanced): Log 360 minutes of exercise

    --To earn a Fitness Enthusiasts+, Fitness Buff+, or Fitness Elites+ designation you need to drink 8 or more glasses of water everyday!
    (8 glasses = 8 cups = 64 ounces)

    Results

    Fitness Elites:
    Paul+
    Carrie+
    Sara Grace+
    Susan+

    Fitness Buffs:
    Stacy
    Ellie+
    Debbie+
    Jackie+
    Melissa+
    Sonya

    Fitness Enthusiasts:
    Hcdawg+
    Jill

    Our total minutes were 3,465!! We beat our numbers from last week by 720 minutes or put another way 12 hours!! Great work all!

    If you'd like even more data (and who wouldn't) our average per challenger has been increasing steadily! Week 1: 236.5 minutes. Week 2: 305 minutes. Week 3 (or last week): 315 minutes


    Ok! I logged 359 mins of exercise last week. Where should I have logged my data?

    I decided to suck up the neck pain and at least walk today (you know, so I can have a few glasses of wine tonight :wink: ), so I did 40 minutes of hill intervals on the treadmill. So I'm up to 180 minutes :smile: Looks like I need to get in almost an hour of exercise this weekend to hit Buff, seems doable!

    I logged in day 45 as of yesterday - water is going well, exercise minutes . . . meh. Definitely feeling "off" this week. Just can't get in the right mind-set. Pre-occupied with happenings of the next few days . . . I should be somewhere around 180 after tonight - depending on how long my "as many reps as possible" take. :tongue: Then I'll have to hit the trails hard again this weekend to make up for eating out way too much.:frown:

    I'm shooting for Fitness Elites (Advanced). I missed it by 1 min last week even thought I didn't check in. Time to burn some calories and clock some mins!!:drinker:

    Well the week is over and I've done the math, well just looked at my exercise record i finshed the week with 514 minutes for 6162 calories burnt. My water has been 8 cups a day too. Sadly i didn't manage to cycle round the reservior so that little star will have to wait. Not bad at all though even if i do say so myself. Hopefully things will go well next week and i'm going to try for 4 gym sessions. I know i keep saying that and then work gets in the way and my need for the couch takes over.

    I'm JUST squeaking by buff this week with 240 minutes. I got my carbs at 40% 2 out of 7 days, which is a tiny bit of progress, but nothing to write home about. I need to be diligent next week!

    alright I'm calling it at 316 minutes. Man, I would have had the elite if my tennis lesson hadn't been cancelled yesterday, oh well. I ran this morning and then played an hour of tennis with my mom and my legs are so tired. I do not think I will be moving unless necessary for the rest of the day....

    48 days
    251 minutes/1714 calories
    minimum 8 glasses of water a day
    Personal goal of watching sodium - under 2500 6 out 7 days :tongue: We ate out this evening after Todd's baseball game so that pretty much destroyed the sodium levels. But, I probably sweat out at least half of it and drank enough water to flush the rest! :drinker:

    So, I made my goal of Elite this week!!! Woo hoo!!! Worked out 370 minutes with 2584 calories burned! :happy: Thanks to the hours of walking at the zoo, I made it! Next week I am not going to the zoo, gotta work extra hard to make it! The water is an issue here too. Unfortunately, did not make it on that goal every day :frown: I need to really make sure I get all my water in, something I will keep working on! I tend to forget to drink all the time.

    Ok I just did my tallies and my weekend was so off due to my obsessive compulsive issues with losing my HRM somewhere....

    But alas....here are my totals:

    Calories burned: 3444
    Minutes exercised: 547
    Daily water: 8+ glasses
    Days logged: 65

    Hope everyone had a great week!

    The one plus of the hike of despair is that it got my exercise minutes up to Elite. Though, honestly, I did not feel very elite completing it. If I had been going at a normal speed I would not have made it. Not sure how to best handle that.

    Minutes: 372 minutes
    8 glasses of water: 5/7
    Personal Goal (Tracking everyday): 7/7 (even the terrible tequila night!)
    Log Ins: 5 days
