BTW I do wear a good bra and shoes

I'm kind of bummed that the outside challenge wasn't last week! Last week was beautiful and I did spend some of it outside but this week is supposed to rain! Right now Thursday and Friday look to be the best chance with "mostly cloudy" as the forecast. I'm not sure that I want to put off the challenge until then without a better guarantee of good weather. If we get a break in the weather I could talk my husband into going with me but in the rain, I'm on my own! Unlike @SmashleyM914 my dog, Lucy, is an almost 14 year old border collie and would not be able to get up the next day if I took her 4 miles! She doesn't even get excited anymore when I put on my running shoes.

I did do the muve video twice already and I'm headed for my workout. Upper body today-arms, @TaraDanielle40 don't be ashamed of your weights. I am using 3 & 5 pounds as well. I am up to 8 pounds for biceps but shoulders the dr. says still have to be 3 pounds. Just keep working on it and you will be able to work up to more. For trimming though less weight and more reps works well!

For the calorie challenge this week. If my calorie goal for the day is 1200, but I exercise 300, does that mean I have to be under 1500 (1200+300) or 1200?

@SmashleyM914 is there something I have to do (other than link my fitbit and MFP) to have my exercise count? MFP doesn't seem to be getting the info from fitbit.

@scherzie do you think doing the muve videos would be relaxing before bed, or do you think it gets you moving too much?

@novten82 on the MFP app there's a section called "Apps & Devices", you should be able to sync them up from there. I believe that's how I had originally done mine.

@novten82 if you can't get them to sync up, you can always add your exercise into MFP manually, it will adjust your calories accordingly. However keep in mind that the calorie burn estimates on here are notoriously very off, generally way higher than what you actually burn.

Hi all-

Well I walk 5 miles every day so I have already completed the 1st challenge. Went outside and it began to rain half way through. Next I will tackle the MUVE videos. I was under goal yesterday. Working on the 21 day diet because it is nice clean eating.

Congratulations everyone!! We are in 3rd place.

Hi team!

My run ended being a walk today & it didn't take me to the gym as I had planned when I left. I woke up at 4am & couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided that since I was sore from yesterday, really tired, I would just walk to get challenge #1 done & more exercise minutes. I didn't want to risk hurting myself at the gym (I am doing strong lifts & squats are hard when I have energy!)
I also need some reserve energy because I need to get my house clean. We are really busy all of December so we will be decorating the house in the next week, so that we basically have everything done for Christmas before we go on our cruise December 5th. Once we are back it will be less stressful & maybe I will get to enjoy some holiday baking instead of rushing around like a crazy person.

I will do a couple of the MUVE videos, on cleaning breaks today

@carinamenina Sounds like our weather. We are expecting record highs tomorrow and then snow on Thursday. I'm okay with some cooler weather, but the snow can stay away.
