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.

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!
:bigsmile:0 -
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.

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
-
Worked out last night for 25 minutes, because that is all I had time for...165 minutes so far this week. Going to try to get to Fitness Buff!0

Ok I just finished my Sunday workout and getting laughed at by my husband while I tallied my excel spreadsheets... I am happy to report I kicked some A and am proud of it this week! Here are my stats this week:
Minutes exercised: 525
Calories burned: 4744 which means I met my personal goal this week of burning 3500 cals
Days logged: 85
Water drank: 8-12 glasses per day
Fun goal: I played in the yard with my toddler his choice of activity (baseball then gardening..yes the child lives to garden...I hate it)
Recruit: I did not get her to join our group but I went on my morning bike ride and took a new rider with me.
I don't think I forgot anything....0 -
Exercise Minutes: 453 minutes - 3106 calories burned
8+ glasses of water daily: yes, 9-14/day
Personal Goal: yes! - I managed to squeeze in some kind of activity every day this week
Playtime!: no
Days logged in: 65 (70 as of today :happy: )
Recruit: yes - Todd will be joining us in the challenge
And as of Friday, I have completed stage 2 of NROL4W! I may have to actually take the full week off this time before stage 3 since we have been scrubbing our deck this weekend . . . that's a total body workout, and man am I sore. :ohwell:0 -
Everyone seems to be posting their numbers and damn they are some big numbers too. Very well done guys. I thought I'd post mine today too.
Exercise Minutes: 538 for 5267 calories
8+ glasses of water daily: Yes, very much so. With the weather as it is 8 glasses is hardly enough!
Personal Goal: Not this week, my plan was to do 2x figures eights around the reservoirs but i only did 1.5. Not to worry. Gives me a goal for this week.
Playtime!: Yes, my cycling is way to much fun to be anything other than play.
Days logged in: 70
I'll be going for Elite again this week and as i'm on duty at work and cycling there and back 3 or 4 times a day and cycling to and from the gym i'm hoping for some big numbers. My Personal goal will be to do the double figure 8 i mentioned before which hopefully will happen next weekend.0 -
I'm not even posting my numbers this week they are so sad! Between resting from lifting and resting for my 10K I hardly clocked anything. I did get all of my water in though. 0

Weekend got me all out of sorts!! Lost track of last weeks exercise. I'll be back next week!! 0
-
Exercise Minutes: 268 min/1512cals

Days logged in: (rounded down to the nearest 5) 105

Crap!! Exercise Minutes: 582 min - 4102 calories . . . I have no idea how I managed to short myself, but I just went back and looked my weekly totals as of Sunday and this is what it should be, not the 453 - 3106. No wonder I wanna curl into a whimpering ball. :ohwell:0 -
