It happens to be a bonus for me that I'm in the late stages of marathon training right now....so yeah...I can earn quite a few points. And it didn't hurt that I had my first ever 19 mile run the day after the challenge began.
Last week stacked up like this:
Miles Walked/Ran - 45 miles = 45 points (1 point for each mile)
Miles Bike - 21 Miles = 7 points (1 point for each 3 miles biked)
Hours Strength Training - 1 hour = 3 points (1 point for every 20 minutes)
Total Points - 55 - Woot!! Woot!!
You can also get points for 7 servings of fruits and veggies everyday. I didn't really track this but doubt (sadly) that I met that most days. So this week I have something new to focus on.
Hope you are all staying fit and active through the Holidays! I know I ate enough this weekend for 3 people.....NOT GOOD!! I wish I could say I feel fat and happy, but really I just feel fat!
What are you doing to stay in shape this holiday season????
I've been so busy /w work and my knee has been acting up so I've been taking it easy. I too have been eating a lot. lol I must bust some bootie too. And read blogs, I have to catch up!
ReplyDeleteMy exercise schedule rarely changes whether it's holidays or not. I even get up early on Christmas morning and go for a run with whoever I can talk into it - it sets you up to have a happy day.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the points! You got lots, especially considering you didn't even get the fruit/veggie ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my post today. That's what I love about the blogosphere. You guys get it when I post something like that. Some of my real life friends would roll their eyes that I complain about less activity.
Awesome week! You are really getting some impressive mileage in!
ReplyDeleteI change nothing during the Holiday season..I keep same diet and same training
ReplyDeleteGood job on this week's workouts!
Well done Michael!
ReplyDeleteThere is little variance in my schedule, but I hope to get my annual miles up over last year- so that will help against the food intake part. Really, I could be more careful with food choices year round though.
Maybe they ought to give negative points when we do something bad... um, maybe not, I would have a hard time breaking zero!
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna bust up that contest and win! 45 miles! That's huge. That's what Dick Sporting Goods said.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the running and the points!
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a great start, even w/ Thanksgiving thrown in. Way to bust some bootie!
ReplyDeleteGreat mileage! I've been keeping it low just doing some 5ks but trying a new Insanity dvd just to change it up for a bit.
ReplyDeleteYou had a GREAT week Michael. Wait to go!! I am loving the HBBC challenge and I am hoping it will help me make up for eating for 3 over the holidays too. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great Thanksgiving.
great job!! it's amazing how a few points will make me want to workout a little more
ReplyDeleteThats more then I have done this weekend, I was super lazy and ate more then I should have
ReplyDeleteNice job on racking up those points! Don't feel bad about eating a lot! It's just one weekend so it's more than okay!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a new program to stay fit during the Holidays. I just wrote about it on my blog. It's Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer! Less cardio, more weights...something new to me but I am really excited about it!
Holy Moly...I can't compete with you! My HBBC points have not started off so stellar :-(
ReplyDeleteSweet! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've transitioned to early morning workouts, I'm sure the holiday workouts will be much more regular. After all, it's not like I'll be shopping at 6 a.m., so I may as well go work out then... and then shop after work!
awesome first week of HBBC!!! you rocked it. i must admit...it has been a huge motivator for me as well!
