This week's challenge (Will run through Monday to allow us to report in on Tuesday.)
It seems like the goal times worked really well for everyone last week. I am going to stick with them. Let me know if there are any other changes you would like to see.

Sometimes we all need a little support to get started. Is there someone in your life who needs encouraging? Get them to sign up for next week's challenge and earn a ♥.
So what are your weekly goals? Are you going to be an Enthusiast, Buff, or Elite?

A big fat THANK YOU Sara for doing all of the leg work to keep us all motivated!!!!!!
Hope everyone has a great week and I am going for the big daddy again this week with a playtime goal of playing ball in the yard with my toddler and a personal goal of burning 3500 calories!

I think I will end up in the enthusiasts this week. I'm planning to do three runs and take saturday and sunday off before my 10K so there won't be a lot of minutes clocked for me.
Going to to try and keep up 10 glasses for water a day and also setting the goal to complete my food diary every day (no matter what it looks like!).0 -
I'm in for buff - hope I can make it without any gardening this week!0

Greetings,
Looks like i have been recruited this week. Should not be hard to get "buff" as i have two baseball games this week. (at least 90 min each) Talk about doing something you loved as a kid. I have not been in this much pain for a long time, and i love most of it. Going back for more punishment Thursday night and Saturday afternoon.
I have logged in for 30+ days in a row... and i was recruited by Susieq101178.

I knew he was an easy sell0 -
Personal goal: be active EVERY DAY of the week (even if it's just a 20 minute walk or 30 minutes of weeding) . . . normally I have two rest days just so I can catch up on life.
Maybe this goal will help me hit Elite again . . .0 -
Very pleased to have made the Elite list and even more so to have managed my cycling challenge. Lets see what this week has in store for me :-).0
-
Exercised 45 minutes yesterday to start the week....Not committing to a certain bracket yet this week, since I am still not 100% I was struggling a little last night on my work out....all stuffy and congested still in my head I have been doing really well with water lately though, so that's good!0
-
I'm still trying for the 400 mins/4200 cals
At least 5 cups of water.
I'm also trying to do some push-ups. I won't set a number.
I'll be at 45 days of logging on Wednesday.0 -
Today I worked out for 45 minutes...so far this week I am @ 90 minutes of exercise and am still drinking lots of water...0
-
As of yesterday I am at 155minutes for the week and I hope to add at least another 65 minutes to that later today! I hope everyone is having a productive week so far things have been busy for me!0
-
worked out tonight for 50 minutes...up to 140 minutes for week so far...maintaining the water intake!0

Quick clarifications:
- You have until Tuesday to get in exercise this week. I figured we would all be busy on Monday with the holiday so we could extend the week a little. (Sorry Paul.)
- This week you just need to find someone willing to participate for next week. I was thinking this week's goal would be find/recruit someone and next week support/encourage them. Mostly I did it that way so that everyone would have time to find someone and their person would have time to join in on a complete week.
Susan and Todd, you can count your participation this week toward next weeks goal too. Over achievers! :-)0 -

Actually Sara that's great news for me. With work being so busy my cycling time has been cut in half. Add to that the fact that my strength training workouts now take about half the time of my old mostly cv based workouts I'm struggling for my minutes this week. An extra day is going to be very helpful indeed. The only plus at the moment is with the hot weather my water consumption is through the roof. 15 glasses yesterday!0 -
So excited this is going to be the first week that I will make the "elite" group!!! I already have 355 minutes and that's not counting tomorrow's workout!0
