so...
my final numbers for January were 60/5/1200/-1116
it shows proof that I need to revamp my workout time
to get a real schedule going
I'm shooting for 80/5/1600

workout smarter doesn't have to be workout longer !!

I love the gym
but it's important that it doesn't also
take all my time.. I work midnights and there
is too much to be taken care of at home as well

Happy February everyone !!:O)

I skied/taught on Saturday for about 2 hours and 45 minutes. It would have been longer, but it was COLD!
On Sunday, I skied/taught for 4 hours.

So my numbers for the month are: 60/5/600/-1003.

Days worked out in week 3: 1 of 1 (Started on Sat.)
Days worked out in week 4: 3
Days worked out in week 5: 3
Days worked out in week 6: 1 of 1

For next month, I'll try to figure out how many days I'll be skiing, and add on about 4 hours for each of those days. That will make the numbers I'm striving for more realistic. Also, I really have to work on getting those weekday workouts in.

I didn't get my 20 miles in for this week..
I suppose I need to remember it's a goal
and not the end of the world if I don't reach it

Hi Everyone!

I'm an long-lost member that had fallen away for a while, but I'm back and ready to kick it into high gear!

I started on Saturday, so my numbers are just for the second 2 weeks of the month. Also, my biggest challenge has always been actually working out the number of days I plan to, rather than the amount of time I exercise (mostly because I prefer longer outdoor activities such as hiking and skiing to working out in a gym, etc.), so I'm going to make a special effort to really hit that number, and will track that, as well.

My starting numbers for January are: 60/5/600/600.

On Saturday, I skied and guided a lesson for about 4 hours.
On Sunday, I skied for about 3.5 hours.
On Sunday, I skied and taught a lesson for about 5 hours.

So that makes my new numbers: 60/5/600/-150. (See what I mean about not often having a problem meeting my numbers?)

Days worked out in week 3: 1 of 1 (Started on Sat.)
Days worked out in week 4: 2 of 7
Days worked out in week 5: - of 7
Days worked out in week 6: - of 1

This is how to work the numbers!! Easy Style!!
Ok I am sorry I did not understand the Challenge before but with the help of George I finally got it. I am a simple minded person what can I say... LOL
George wrote to me so that I can understand
"Basically there are 4 numbers. The first number is the number of days you pledge to workout, the 2nd number is the number of minutes you pledge to workout per day, the 3rd number would be your total for the month and the 4th number is the number of minutes you have remaining. For example:

5/30/500/500 would be workout 5 days a week for 30 minutes at a time and 500 minutes would be the monthly total and you have 500 minutes yet to fulfill your pledge. Then if you worked out a couple of days for 30 min. each time, your numbers would be 5/30/500/440. The 440 is because you've worked out a total of 60 minutes so the last number would drop 60."
See its simple,
