So happy to see the first challenge and to be able to say that I'm already done with it! I usually walk outside every morning and just last week I upped it to 4 miles, so I'm already done with one. Yay! The other two shouldn't be a problem. I'm a little sore today after moving all that stuff around yesterday and the jumping. I'm still doing the Rajio Taiso from two weeks ago and that helps. Hope we continue to climb this week. I LOVE that we are not in last place!3

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!2 -
Gah!!!! My rainbow post didn't save!
Dang it, sorry guys!! I just never thought to recheck after Saturday morning. Dang I'm mad at myself. Not going to let THAT happen again... 0 -
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?0

@novten82 When you complete your diary it has to say that you were under your calorie goal. If your goal is 1200 and you log exercises and your daily goal on MFP changes to 1500, you need to be under that. If your goal is 1200 and you exercise but don't log it, so MFP doesn't adjust your calorie goal, and you eat 1300 calories you will not be able to count that day.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?
I personally don't manually log my exercise because my Fitbit does it automatically for me.

@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.

Perfect timing, Mondays are walk days so got my 4 miles in today! Did the first muve video twice, like them much better than the tasio, I think the music is just so relaxing. Here's to a good week 4s, I think we may be the only "full" team left.2
-
@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.0

Under my calorie goal - check!
3 outdoor walking miles today - check!
Lots of minutes today - check!
Kept it super nutritious today - check!
Water water water - check!
Got my workout clothes laying out and ready for me tomorrow morning - check!
Didn't get any of the MUVE videos done because I forgot about them until it was too late and I was literally climbing into bed. On the plus side, it's 8:30 and I'm not far from sleep. I'm not totally sure what I'll be doing at the gym tomorrow, I'm thinking maybe some running. I'll have to see about my soreness andnwhich parts of my body feel like operating haha.2 -
@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.1

I entered my exercise in manually (46 minutes) and don't usually eat the exercise calories.
Had a great day yesterday. 46 exercise minutes, 1.2 miles outside, 2 of 8 total videos and under my calories! Today should be much of the same, with a few more exercise minutes. Have a great day everyone.3 -
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.2 -
Forgot to get coffee whitener for my coffee yesterday when I was at the store, and HAD to drink it with milk. The horror!! lol It's only at desparate times that I can swallow it down.1

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

G'mornin, all! I was MIA here for the past two days, sorry. Been busy at work and home. So, Hawaii, huh? Way to rub salt in the wound for the week...today's high is 67, but Thursday we're expecting snow and a high of like 39. Booo winter :P Oh well, it is what it is. I'm going to count the 8 miles of running outside since I've got my half marathon next week. Did 3 yesterday and another 3 planned for today, so I'll get it done quickly. Need to do the videos at night or something. I stayed under calorie goal yesterday and will do so again! Gotta get these last 15 lbs off!
You are all amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

@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.1

Oy vey, sometimes the message boards are a scary place to be. I swear vultures hang out on those things and just wait to pounce!! I asked a simple question about the current medication I'm on and it turned into people telling me I need to eat healthy and exercise, riiiiiiight because I don't already do that? Jeepers! I'll wait to talk to my doc, and forget I even asked for peoples personal experiences.2

I'm so done with this spreadsheet and app
It's gone again and I can't edit. I don't know what happens to it. I think I probably have to use it on my desktop to bring it up again to sync to my phone. Can someone put in 20 min for yesterday and 55 for today, please? 0 -
@taradaniel40 Done.
I'm curious if we can do this though. I know there was a post about not entering things if it wasn't yours. I also know that at the beginning we were told that if we couldn't get things entered to let our team know so they could do it. Might need some clarification. I did enter it for you though.2 -

@TaraDanielle40 have you tried going to the original "link to spreadsheet" post? Last race, every week after they closed I had to open it from there again. Hope that helps!1 -
I got my first .91 miles done tonight after work. It was pretty nice out. Then I did 1 of the dance video2
-
Moving right along with all the challenges; 4 mile walk done, under calorie goal for two days, and 4 videos to go. I wanted to be super lazy today but I didn't want to have that empty space on the log sheet so I jumped on the treadmill and did some videos. I was able to log 60 mins. There are lots of empty spaces this week. I hope everyone is still moving and just saving up their minutes.1
-
I did my muve video's this morning and yesterday so right on schedule with that. I managed to get a mile in today and timed it perfectly to get soaked! lol! I'm also on track on the calories.2

Figured it out. I had to use the original link from "desktop" mode in order for it to work. It wouldn't from the mfp app, strange.SmashleyM914 wrote: »TaraDanielle40 wrote: »I'm so done with this spreadsheet and app It's gone again and I can't edit. I don't know what happens to it.

@TaraDanielle40 that happens to me sometimes, moody sheets!0 -
My weeks getting away from me, I can't believe it's already Wednesday. I've hit the gym every morning so far, so excited about that! But in regards to work, I'm going crazy! I'm only at my office 3 hours a day because my son has half day kindergarten and I just feel like I'm falling behind. On the plus side, my moms getting him off the bus today so I get a nice full day at the office today! Pathetic I'm excited about that, huh? lol oh well. I haven't even started the MUVE videos, I'm hoping to start them tonight when my hubby goes to the gym. I'm still at 3 miles for the outdoor walk from Monday, I'll get that last one in don't you worry! Not today though, it'll be dark by the time I leave my office.
Being under calories is going really well too, I haven't been too hungry so I've kind of been forcing myself to eat.
Happy hump day loves!!1 -
Also can everyone please start putting some minutes in? We're moving back down the board because of all those blank spaces. Being higher up is encouraging, so don't wait until the last minute! Plus, it saves me time having to send out tons of messages.
Thank you!2
