December CRUSHERS Motivation Challenge (Page 20)

D001 - 2010-12-28 11:59 PM The spreadsheet I set up has three columns per week: a) Minutes of activity b) total fruits/veggies c) Points assigned -- which is automatically calculated. There are 4 sets of columns. One for each week. The final column sums up all the points for the month. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tpa5iZ6XoKc4GxdRCYPtniA&...

Once we finalize the spreadsheet I will start up the thread!

Are we making teams or no? If so, how do I make the spreadsheet behave accordingly?

DEEEEEEEEDERS

D001 - 2010-12-29 5:26 AM Hm. Too bad that I don't have space in my sig lines for this ^^^^. LOL

I love the spreadsheet! Thanks for putting this together!

I think that we should have a third category... just because 2 feels so naked. Any suggestions? Maybe 1 point for every junk food free day?

Emmanem - 2010-12-28 9:33 PM

Couple things:  Are we doing 1 point for each 7 f&v or for every day you hit 7 f&v?  If per day we need to change that column but i think 1 point per 7 is better.  I do think we need a category or 2 more.  I like the idea of having more categories and more opportunities to accumulate points especially on days when life gets in the way of training or sick days.  Here's some suggestions for changes:

2 points per 20 minutes of swim bike run (since we are triathletes of course... could allow walk for those with injuries etc)
1 point per 20 minutes of other activity (strength, yoga, etc)
1 point per 7 f&v
1 point per day that you drink at least 8 glasses of water/ 64 ounces (something I really need to work on)
1 point per soda free day 

Others: 1 point per junk food free day, 1 point per sugar free day...

Let me know what you think!

Emmanem - 2010-12-29 9:09 AM Mom just called.  My great-grandma died yesterday.  All of our family still lives in Sweden so it's hard when something like this happens since we can't be there.  She did live to be 100 and from what they told mom it seemed like it was just her time.  Kinda a hard morning for me tough....

Sounds good to me!

Would this many variables behave well in the spreadsheet Dee? Must establish dominance over the spreadsheet...

D001 - 2010-12-30 12:47 AM OK, check out the spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tpa5iZ6XoKc4GxdRCYPtniA&... It's a little cumbersome. So if the challenge works and you want to do this again in the future, we can talk about switching the columns and rows around. But for January, let's see how it goes with this format..... Spreadsheet info: 1) Enter your name in the 1st column. 2) Do not change anything in yellow or orange highlighted cells! (The formulas will calculate your points.) 3) Minutes of Swim, Bike or Run --> Enter total minutes for Week 1. You get 2 pts for every 20 min of activity. 4) Minutes of OTHER activity --> Enter total minutes for Week 1. You get 1 pt for every 20 min of activity. 5) # of servings Fruits &Veggies --> Enter total servings for Week 1. You get 1 pt for every 7 servings. 6) # Days drinking at least 64 oz water --> Enter total DAYS for Week 1. You get 1 pt for every day. 7) # Days with NO sugar, junk food or soda --> Enter total DAYS for Week 1. You get 1 pt for every day. 8) Repeat all of the above for weeks 2, 3 and 4.

THANK YOU DEEEEEEEDERS

your fluffy avatar looks like a very cold uberwhite version of ... comeandgetit.

D001 - 2010-12-30 1:42 AM Heh. Comeandgetit LOVES the snow! He doesn't want to come back inside. Ever. Eventually, he starts shivering and I pick him up and carry him in. We've lost about 5 tennis balls in the snow. Good thing I stockpiled a few cans of them before the snow started. LOL

Emma, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Emmanem - 2010-12-28 8:28 PM I bought new goggles today for $1.97.  They were discounted from $13 or $15 I can't remember which but I'm glad i finally got some new goggles and if i don't like them they didn't cost me much.

Good find. That reminds me. I need to get me some new goggles too.
