April Challenge
Replies
-
Goal: Now fewer than 3 runs per week. A run must be 3 miles minimum to count.
Track: Endomondo will post to my wall for friends. I will check in here for the group. I rarely use MFP on a real computer, so this will be part of the challenge.
Reward: pedicure
Caveat: I will be hiking/camping in the desert with students for the first week of this challenge. For safety reasons (staying with my students), I may not be able to meet goals for that week. I assure you that I will hike enough to make up for it.0 -
I think the way I'm going to do this is award one point per week for each person completing their challenge. If we, as a group, earn 90% of our points by May 16th, we will have earned our rewards. This provides enough leeway for a couple of us to have an "oops" but not enough for everybody to blow off a week.
If you are sick or injured, I'd be open to awarding half points, but we are all busy and over-committed. That's why we're doing this.
That sounds good!0 -
Goal: Complete 4 weeks of C25k by running 3x a week, also kickboxing at least 1 day a week.
Tracking: It'll be on my diary
Reward: Knowing I'll be able to run more of the ROC Race in June.
Week 2 day 1 of Zombies Run 5k app complete. Plus an additional 30 minutes of walking/running.0 -
I'm in!
Goal: Eat at no more than maintenance until my half. That should be about 1700 calories net daily+ exercise calories. And stretch daily!
Track: My diary is open. I will log my stretching daily.
My reward: A massage! Oh, yeah!0 -
Goal: complete 250 squat challenge by the end of this challenge plus some other strength stuff every day
Track: will be in my diary as strength training
Reward: buying a fit bit if I can afford it
2 days done, planning to complete today too0 -
I'm confused. Have we started already? Or do we start on the 15th of April? And do we post our stats here?0

Kept within my calorie goals for the week, had to be a bit creative when I was on holiday but everything was logged.0

Reporting in. Did my 3 days of at least 10,000 and then 4 days of 5,000. So I made it!0

Goal 30 Active minutes or 12k steps each day. Turns out that getting the steps wasn't as hard as I thought.

RAWR.0 -
I completed six days of at least minimal strength training (convict conditioning) = met my goal
Please post your results by 12pm on Monday.0 -
Great job, everybody who's posted so far. It's hard for me to find excuses when you don't0

Reporting in...Week one goals met! Stretching is good. My TDEE is higher than I expected, so my daily target ended up being 1830. That seems like a lot, but I managed to use most of it. ;-) Project maintenance in effect. RAWR!!!0
-
Week 1 done. 4 runs over 3 mi, including a 7.7 miler today. I'll be off the grid for week 2. I'm bringing my running shoes into the wilderness, but I may not be able to get away from my students for real runs. I'm giving myself credit anyway. It'll be enough hours hiking with a pack each day to honor the spirit of the goal, if not the exact letter.0

That's what I found too. I can hardly wait to find out what Laura's maintenance calories look like.
1830 is a good solid calories allotment that will give you ample room to get all your micronutrients in.0 -

These are YOUR goals and you planned for this at the outset. I've already put you down as completing the Week 2 challenge.0
