0.8|Standing/Waiting with surly disposition: 0 mph (∞ min/mi)

How many points do I get for standing in the train for 20 minutes? The train was shorter than usual so there weren't enough places to sit, there almost wasn't enough space to stand either. I stood between four people and had to lean on each according to the direction the train was swaying in at that moment.

I thought it was stuck on high speed?

Fantastic idea on the bike on treadmill. Now if I could figure out how to hook the treadmill back up...

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

I think we already established that our idea of "desserts" is different when you said fruit for dessert is cheap.

That is precisely why the drinks are per-drink, not per-day.

Let me see you see 6 desserts in a day.

What I realized with the way the points are figured is that once you've eaten the dessert (Halloween candy included), you've already lost the points, so you might as well eat 5 desserts. And eat dessert for dinner.

well, I guess I have been caught cheating already with the pizza and forgot about the halloween candy.

I think the worksheet is easier than fitday.com. It took me 30 minutes to fill in my breakfast.

Did I mentoin they are bitesize mints!!

Does riding a bike on the treadmill count? Maybe that will make it a usable pace for Michele??

How many points for not counting points?

um...that worksheet is a lot of work. Might try fitday.com for logging all your meals and activities. Anyone who meets their goal is a winner then.


-5000 halloween candy
+1,000,000 run 5K with Tracy in the rain WITH cape on. Laugh at other runners.

Well I can't resist the temptation to get healthy via a competition. Here's my score from yesterday:
+50 Fruit
+50 Veggies
+345 Jogging 2 miles
+115 Walk in woods with girls

Total for day: 560

I think 3 peppermint patties counts as dessert. I'm very interested to hear other opinions on this though. I do not think the Propel sticks count as a full sports drink though. Isn't there a ton more sugar in Gatorade?

Eric and I are in trouble - our treadmill isn't working unless you can run at full speed the entire time and never stop. That will have to change if we want to compete.

I would count that pizza that we ate on Sunday as 'fast food'.
But I would also count that walk in the zoo as 2 hours of a slow walk.

So how many points does Halloween candy count for? I'm on my 3rd peppermint patty this morning. The bike ride in this morning was lame, I didn't even need the headlight, pshhh.

It's as safe as the brakes on a big wheel, and we all know kids have the safest toys.... I still remember going full steam on the big wheel down Grandma's driveway(feet off the pedals).
My method takes some specialty parts depending on your hub style and size, the easiest method is buying a track bike wheelset.. the cheapest ones I've found are: http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=1618
I'll stick with my $10 dangerous mod. Patent pending

A wagner riding something unsafe? Preposterous!

I'm not convinced your method of fixing the gear is completely safe. When you come for a visit, you can show me what you did to the hub.

Was that ride in on a fix gear yet????

I just want to make sure I'm playing fair. I noticed that Gatorade or sports drink is minus points. I buy little Propel sticks, which are a Vitamin Enhanced Water Beverage Mix. They are 10 calories, 2g from sugar. It keeps me from purchasing sodas out of the vending machine. Are they negative points? Also, the serving size is half a packet. Who uses half a packet?


The bike ride into work this morning was fabulous, if only my student had showed up to take his test too.

Link to sheet was sent via email. If you did not get it and want to play, post or send me a note.
You can also subscribe to the sheet and get an email whenever it changes.

EO.

Yeah! We had a great time too. Thanks for visiting.

also, if you want to post a link to that spreadsheet, it would be great. I did not get the form ready in time. I'll set the link on the left.

I drove to the store to buy a tomato for my taco dinner just so I could get the +50. Then I thought Tracy might claim the tomato was a fruit, so I bought some carrots too. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to start a healthy habit, or just learn to hate carrots. It doesn't matter anyways because I needed to run to the store not drive, because AO just posted a marathon's worth of burnt calories.

+50 carrot/tomato.
+50 orange.
No soda, dessert, or exercise.

Sure I wrote mine down:

Frisbee 5 hours= 8*300*3.5*67.67/200= +2,842
Lemonade = -150
Dessert = -150
Vegetable = +50
Stretching = 2.5*10*67.67/200=+ 8

I will play your game....

-150 coke on drive home
-150 Sprite with lunch
+50 the apple I am about to eat only because I am already in the hole

Home again... Had a superfun weekend thanks for taking me to the zoo... I love the PA zoo.

+50 asparagus
+157 40 minutes weightlifting.

Am I the only one doing this?

thank you Veronica, Sarah, Edgardo, Daniela, Thomas, and Nico! We had a wonderful time!

Nice Halloween pics. I forgot to turn my light on until late last evening so I had a lot of candy left over. Matthew took a bunch when he left today. I still have more than I need though.

+50 canteloupe 9am. I have a spreadsheet ready if you need me to share it with you all.

deniela check your email

I figured out what is wrong with the email script for some emails. Will fix it tonight, then you can see that photo too.
