I haven't seen any mini challenges posted so I thought I'd start one, maybe a daily one.. Each challenge task will have points for each that you do. If there is a exercise you're not familiar with I'll explain or post a pic of it. If you cannot do a certain exercise you can modify it or skip that one. Once done, post which one(s) you've done, which level and the amount of points you earned. Must do the challenge the day it's posted in order to earn the points. Person with the most points at the end of the month will be the Mini Challenge Winner!
December 1st
MINI CHALLENGE
1. Since it's the start of a new month take a full body picture of yourself so you can do a comparison on January 1st. You don't have to post the pic. 3pts.
2. 25 Jumping Jacks 3pts.
3. 30 second plank. 3pts.
4. 15 Squats. 3pts.

Hard Level: 2 sets Double the points
Who's in? 😊

I'm in sounds good. If I do 25 crunches can it count for half the points?1

I remember there being min challenges as well and I thought some type of daily check in. It's been a while, so that may have changed. I'm in on them for sure, the best I can at least, lol.
How is everyone coping from Thanksgiving? Everyone back on track?

This YEAR has been going by so fast! It's hard for me to think Christmas is like 3 weeks away. Blessed for so many things this year, despite the pandemic... I am trying to stick to my plan the best I can. I have always been so hard on myself - if I made a mistake, went over daily, gained, whatever - I would be down for days and the cycle would perpetuate itself. This time I am really making an effort to be a little easier on myself. We shall see!
How are you doing????1 -
Within the main weight loss challenge we have another optional, but highly recommended, challenge. It is called the Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge, or the Mini Challenge. It is based on another MFP challenge group by the same name, or UAC.
The way it works is simple:
1. Log everything you eat that has calories in MFP.
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget.
3. Do at least20 minutes of activity daily. This could be anything that gets you off the couch and being active: run, walk, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.
4. Report each day on this thread (something to the effect of logged food: yes, under calories: yes, exercise: yes, and a brief description is nice)
****When you post your accountability, please put the date, or the day of the week to which you are referring. We are all in different time zones, and some people post in the evening for that day, and others post the next morning, so it gets confusing trying to decipher without a day or date. Thanks!!!*****
You get one free pass day a week (went over calories, could not log food, rest day, etc.) At the end of the week, if you have managed to be "accountable" (three yes's) for at least 6 of 7 days, you will be recognized on this thread as being in the Winner's Circle!
Date: Dec 1
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes
Goals/Day/Comments:
-I apologize for slacking, life is a bit hectic on my end. I hope to be a little more active soon!3 -
Hi All, Sorry was thinking next Sunday was the first weigh in. Anyway here it is:
SW - 200.2
CW - 199.23 -
@BEASTFIELD314 arent we our own worst critics but the biggest supporters of everyone else around us. It's a good thing you recognize the cycle now you can break it. I had to realize that I could either be my own worst enemy or my biggest cheerleader. One thing I do in the morning is right down 5 things I'm grateful for and then throughout the day I look for 1 or 2 events that causes me to laugh or smile...keep up the positive attitude. YOU GOT THIS!!!!2

@jillsmith8297 Hi, I noticed that other weights had been updated on the December chart. But mine (that had been posted Monday morning) seemed to have been missed. So, I thought I would repost it here just to be certain that it was seen. Thank you. I know you have a lot going on right now. 1 -

That seems like a good idea; take gentle care of yourself. Keep us posted.1 -
Hi! I am sorry; I haven't been doing a great job checking in. I am feeling pretty good; I have been back to work since August (teacher, teaching in person) but we are now taking a break to be remote-back mid January after MLK day. I miss being with my students in person, but it's also nice to be home with my family. I am pushing myself to get 10-12k steps a day; so far, so good!4

HI team,
Had a day when I remember why good sleep, a morning workout and a healthy lunch plan set the tone for my day...bad sleep, no workout, then felt overwhelmed and behind all day long. Wasn't my best self, best mom or best teacher today. Trying not to be too hard on myself.
Planning a hot shower and a nice long reading session before turning in; another day in the books!
How do you all reset after a tough day?4 -

I can so relate I had one of those days ...just remember you have the opportunity to restart don’t let rough days hold you down ..you got this3 -
I walked nearly 12,000 steps yesterday while my husband was in having an endoscopy procedure. But enjoyed a Sausage and egg McMuffin meal at McDonald's for breakfast. It was so good though 😉 My baby grandson has been prescribed a new formula which he seems to be tolerating. They think he is allergic to milk protein. We hope this is the answer to his problems 🙏4
