Yes! Name the bet and I'm in. I need something to keep me motivated because I'm completely depressed by the uncertainty that faces this world right now. If it's a monetary bet, we can donate it to charity.
Yup. I know I'm eating and drinking more. Part of it is the fact that I have to feed my kids in my house 3x / day, and we always eat meals together as a family. And part of it is stress / anxiety induced eating and drinking.I'm WFH for the foreseeable future and I only got 3200 steps yesterday
Gonna be tough to keep up the progress if this continues for a while (like it seems it will).

I don't really care about 10 miles but that's what you were going for so we could work towards that if you want. Or now that you're not training specifically for a 10 mile run we could do a fastest 5 miles or fastest 10k or something. Or we could just do something around total miles or total number of days running. I don't even care about the stakes it's just nice to have some accountability.fred_1_15301 said:
I like the idea of a group goal as opposed to a competition. Perhaps target a pre-specified cumulative number of miles each week.
So true. We're all struggling. World is turned upside down, more so for some of us than others based on geography, I assume. I need the holes in my sack to finish healing up so I can get back on the erg. and I need to figure out how the heck to do it twice a day, to offset the ridiculous depression eating and drinking.MAC_32 said:
I would imagine most of us working from home are saving a bunch of money on a weekly basis, I know I will be. Maybe we need some sort of short term wagers/motivations to keep us all engaged. Losers toss $5 each at some agreed to charity. Small amounts for each of other who are likely buying lunch/coffee/etc at a lower rate, while as a group potentially making a difference to someone doing some good.
I've been doing Sun Salutation ever since you suggested yoga earlier in this thread - and I love it! I do some lower body stretching first and then go through the sequence 3 times and hold each pose for 5 seconds (not sure if that's how you are supposed to do it, but that's what I do) - 15 minutes tops each morning. It's paid dividends for sure because I can now workout/walk/etc. without my back giving me problems and causing me to stop those other activities.
Just signed up - thank you for this! I'm going to start tomorrow.
In any case, I will do the 30 days of yoga to mix things up a bit!
Signed up earlier today with the plan to start tomorrow. We’ll see if I do. I’m doing pretty well with the exercise and eating so I may give this a shot.Just signed up - thank you for this! I'm going to start tomorrow.
Today is a "rest day" for me, after finishing my three separate team challenges and my 110-day challenge yesterday. Happy to report that, from Nov. 29-March 17, the only two days I did not do at least an hour of purposeful exercise were Dec. 26 and 27. Frankly, this was really tedious, and I was ready for it to be over. But I might start up a new string of days tomorrow.
Gyms are going to be hurting badly during this shut down. Not sure what industry will fare the worst, tourism, travel, restaurants, bars, or gyms.
i'm a lifetime member as well. they also sent out an email stating that all dues will be credited, as long as they are closed. good company.
I could add to a group goal. The more incentive I get, the better.
I think a realistic goal for me at this point would be ~ 15 miles a week. That assumes I can average 2 miles a day during the week and a 5 mile run on one of the weekends. That seems doable given my new schedule.
To be clear, I don’t want to be competing against anyone, just myself. I’d be in for trying to hit the goals.
That's what i want too
