Pick a level. Set a goal. How much exercise can you get in this week?
- Fitness Enthusiasts (Beginners): Log 110 minutes of exercise
- Fitness Buffs (Intermediate): Log 235 minutes of exercise
- Fitness Elites (Advanced): Log 360 minutes of exercise
- "You Are What You Eat" (Rotating Monthly Challenge/RMC July) This month's challenge is to try and identify the most important nutritional challenge you face. Are you good all day but then can't stop snacking at night? Is lack of planning interfering with your diet? Are you planning too strictly and then finding yourself melting down on Saturdays? This week you can earn a ✓ by your name on the results list if you select a nutritional goal and meet it! Take long hard look at food journals and set a goal that makes you healthier and happier.
- Pick a personal goal for this week! Let us know what it is and how you did. I'll add a little ★ in front of your name on the leader board if you get it.
So what are your weekly goals? Are you going to be an Enthusiast, Buff, or Elite?

This coming week:
Aiming for Enthusiast again
Personal Goal: Need to complete a set of strength training/cardio training apart from the running programme.
'You are what you eat" Aiming to not have more than 1 cup of coffee a day; rather replace it with herbal tea.0 -

- I'm aiming for Elite this week. I dipped down last week, mainly because me and my alarm clock were having a fight.

- Terrible about eating out. Going to try to limit that for the rest of this week.0 -
I'm going for the buff this week.
My food goal is to try and stay between 25-30 on my fiber. I've been going way over.0 -
I'll go back to buff this week
you are what you eat - stay gluten and dairy free!
personal - get my 4 mile run in this weekend.0 -
Sorry that took so long to update! I am going to try to get to the gym more (not hard since I only went once last week). Also I would like to eat in for the rest of the week as my food goal.

I am going to try for the middle level this time. My food goal is to stay under my carbs 5/7 days this week. My personal goal is to exercise in some form daily. I missed 3 days last week
so I need to get my head back in the game. 0 -
I'm in for the challenge but haven't done it before. I really need to have goals. I like to run but with 3 kids and a FT job and no exercise equipment in my house, I'm having issues fitting it in. So accountability and motivation is key - I do well when I have a goal like a race that I'm signed up for.
I'll go for the Enthusiast beginner level though to ease back in due to time constraints. On maternity leave I was so active but since coming back to work it's been hard. I have not figured out how to exercise regulalry since going back from maternity leave after having kid #3.
My nutritional challenge is eating crap in the office just because it's there in the ofifce kitchen or at a function (yesterday there was a baby shower with snacks and cupcakes). I need to keep healthy snacks on hand so I'm not doing this out of hunger.
Personal goal - sign up for a race or some other tangible goal. My neighbor is trying to sell her Army 10 miler entry so I have to decide if I want to buy it or if I should start with a 10K or 5 miler since I haven't been running lately.0 -
This week I am going for Buff.
Personal Goal: My goal is to push myself with strength training, especially with working out my arms!
"You Are What You Eat" (RMC): My biggest problem is staying away from the sweets, especially when I am at work. My goal is to see how long I can go without eating from the sample tray! I want to try and have ZERO chocolate consumption at work for the rest of this week! I am only allowed to eat what is in my lunch bag or fresh fruit that is cut at work (without chocolate!)...I am allowed a little bit of chocolate when I am at home...like my fiber one bars or 100 calories fudge bar.

Last week was a total bust. Only thing I managed was logging my food every day :blushing:
Treadmill was broken (it's fixed now), I came down with a full-blown chesty cold, and I was tired every day so I OD'd on coffee.
But I'm still here!0 -
