OBLF: January Challenge - Get Moving!
The first challenge of the O:BLF is meant to get everyone moving. Since it is the first one, the challenge is simple:
Log at least 300 minutes of movement by 1/31/12. How you get your movement in is up to you, whether it's 300 minutes in one week or 30 minutes ten times this month, the goal is to get moving. We will be on the honor system for counting minutes, so keep track of them however you can. Note that 300 minutes is just a jumping off point, anything above that is awesome and completely supported.
There will be a check-in post two weeks from today and the final tally of minutes will be due in the end of month post.
There will be one prize: The person with the most movement minutes on 1/31 will get to pick next month's challenge. To keep it simple, I will post the challenges every month but the actual content of the challenges will be decided by the winner of the previous month.
Get moving, get thinking of a challenge and be less fat!

We'll see.
Is there any way to make tickers for the people who are participating?

Um, it's only 1/3 and I already have nearly half of the challenge done. Take that.

Since challenges are supposed to start on the first Monday of the month per "the rules" we made in the OBLF post, let's say it started yesterday.
Do you want a ticker or a siggy badge? For a ticker you can go to the Nest tickers and make one there for the minutes. I think? If not, let me know and I can find us something.
If you would like a siggy badge, I can make one of those today for OBLF. Let me know.
Today the scale was the lowest I have seen it in a while--which means not only did I not gain during the holidays, but I actually lost a pound or two. So I'm pretty happy and it has me motivated to keep it going.

I don't know... I guess no one else wants one.

We still have some of that in our fridge and pantry because I have to learn how to be around it without going overboard. However, I did replace somethings with things like spinach, pear cups with the pears in water, and a few veggies (asparagus and zucchini).
That's a very good point, Julie. Self control. Sometimes I have to hide things or put it out of my reach, which is easy because I can hardly reach anything in our house.
Since you guys like zucchini, a recipe you could make for supper is Zucchini Enchiladas or just adding zucchini to your enchiladas mix. I've had it both ways and they are very good and don't take a lot of time to make.
I pinned a bunch of stuff over the weekend and made a Healthy Eating board on Pinterest. Due to several things happening, I wasn't able to cook any of it this weekend but I can't wait to.
I've had 530 calories today so far. I just need to be good at dinner, which is my weakness.

You will be eating at least 1200 calories today right??

Oh I'm sure--when I'm seriously dieting, I do 1500. I think today was just a fluke! Plus I've had some almonds now so it's up from that. But I had a Slimfast (190) and an Amy's (340) and wasn't really hungry until a few minutes ago (when I had the nuts).

Where in downtown and what class? I live close to downtown.
Sorry, I just saw this for some reason!
My membership is at the Tom Landry Fitness Center. The classes rotate every day but I think most mornings they have Zumba and cardio.
