    hahah nice try. The reason for Monday - Sunday is that is how MFP has a week. So if you look at your currently weekly total it goes for last week. Also the challenge it to push you to do more so if you already did the exercise then how is the challenge pushing you that little extra step?

    I am in. Have not done one of these before. I don't count the swimming I do for a living or the day to day running with the kids or the dog though. Just when I turn the world off and exercise.
