CHALLENGE OF THE LIVING DEAD (CLOSED)

Sounds Great! Thanks For Putting A Challenge Together This Week!!!!

looks like a great challenge! Thanks for putting it together

I'm loving this challenge! This outta motivate me to stop eating crap.

sorry to be a pain, when you are viewing the spreadsheet are their meant to be other members on it too or just your own, and can others view it. Also is there an easy way to access it as i have always got to copy the link then paste it into google

CHALLENGE:
This week is a nutrition challenge, just like Fitness is a big part of losing weight, so it was you eat! Since today is Tuesday we'll start Wednesday because I know some of you are overseas.

All right I need you to fill out your own nutrition info from MFP

NEEDED:
Calories
Carbs
Fat

Optional (must pick one or all 3 of the following):
Protien
Sodium
Fiber

or you can add your own, if you'd like.


The way it works is stay in the green on your food diary! Simple as that. So when filling out your sheet all you need to put in is how many green or red numbers you had. If you stayed in the green in calories, carbs, fat, protein, and fiber but were in the red for sodium, then you get 5/6 points. Easy right?

Now I know for some of us this is difficult to keep track of everyday, I just hope you try and that is why you also get 1 cheat day! (to use when ever you like) So you only need to do this for 4 days (doesn't sound to bad right?)

Now for your weapon (or your mini goal for the week) I hope you do pick a fitness like 10 minutes of yoga every morning, or 10 miles in 5 days or something like that.

Keep in mind for most people going into the red on protein and fiber are fine, or even good. I expect to go red on protein every single day. So I would consider taht a success.

You can change your nutritional goal settings to customize them. They default to 55% carbs. I have mine changed to 40% carbs/40% protein/20% fat. Just go to Goals -> Change Goals -> Custom Settings

Even if you reset, I assume you're going red on those most days - because you generally want to eat AT LEAST that amount, as opposed to calories and fat where you want to eat NO MORE than that amount.

acowboykid: so sorry to hear that you have so much going on right now. I hope the treatment goes well, i can't imagine how difficult it must be for both of you. Take care if yourself try not to work too hard you will be no use to anyone if you make yourself sick x

Ok everyone, we are still looking for people to help me if anyone is interested in helping that would be amazing....really amazing!


Now...Don't worry about this week too much, this is a transition week for me running this comp and it's a little stressful, what with work....


Anyway, I honestly don't have the links to your spreadsheets, if you want to forward me the messages that ACowboyKid sent you with the initial link so I can check your progress. Thank you. If anyone would like to volunteer to do the spreadsheets or help come up with some challenges, that would be wonderful. Also we could use team Captains for Melee and Ranged.


Here's the challenge since tomorrow is going to be too crazy for me to post anything...also, hopefully if everyone gets everything to me by Tuesday, I'll post the totals then.




Week VI - THE EYE OF THE TIGER


The faint moans of the undead slowly crept through the valley where the survivors were packing up their gears. A few ears perked up, fear covering their faces. One person said, "Don't worry about it, we'll be out of here before they get close enough."

They continued packing, the moans growing louder and louder. Their hands moved fast, packing their bags but before they could run away from the mountains, there was a group of 1000 or so zombies, blocking their paths. They could go back through the mountains, they way they came, there was no problem out-running them...but they would waste a few days of travel just to get back to were they are.

Suddenly, one of the survivors drew their gun, cocked it and shot one of the undead square in the forehead. "Let's do this!" They yelled.



THE CHALLENGE:

All right, so this is the first big fight. I have a strange fitness goal for you all this week:

I want you to punch the air in front of you (you can choose to hold weights, water bottles, or hold nothing at all) . I want you to do at least 100 punches a day,

Then i want you to lay down on the ground, propping yourself up on your elbows, bend your knees and take turns extending them (whats it called, bicycles?) 50 rotations (left leg, right leg, count 1, left leg, right leg, count 2...)


Sorry this isn't well informed exercises, I'm still new to this.

So I want you to do this 5 times this week (that's 2 days off) I feel like 100 and 50 are do-able numbers, however if you don't think it is challenging enough, do more or when you do them use weights or if your doing the legs and want a better work out, try putting something heavy (like books) on your stomach.










Again, I'm sorry for how bad I am at this. This is the first challenge I've ever been a part of and now I have to try and keep it going. I know we are losing people, and I'm very sad to see that. Please don't leave because of how bad I am at this, I'm trying to get better! It just might take a couple of weeks until I get this up to par.

Thanks Rikki for stepping up again this week. You're doing a great job! I sent you my spreadsheet, let me know if it doesn't work.

Also, should we try to get a headcount for all of the teams? Have a lot of people dropped out?

I forgot to add that my weight is now 227.4.
