Fabulous February Fourteen Challenge — 2018

ANSWERED

Fabulous February Fourteen Challenge

Time for a new monthly challenge and this one has got a spin ...

 
How It Works:

The primary purpose of these challenges has been to keep track of your daily step goals for the month; though we tend to track other things as well, like body weight exercises, sleep, trips to the gym, logging food, etc. This is not a competition to see who can do the most of whatever, instead it is a challenge to measure your consistency. So whether you do 1k, 5k, 10k or even 40k steps a day, this is measuring how many days out of the monthly total you can hit your goal.

 

Some might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and others might have a variable goal throughout the week, for example.
Monday -> Friday = 10k steps a day
Sat & Sun = 6k steps a day

 

Regardless of how you structure your daily goals, the only thing that matters for this challenge is whether or not you reach what you set out to do.

 

The Fabulous February Fourteen Variation.

Shoutout to @Jotex for this February variation. Since there are 28 days in February and some folks burn out thinking about hitting goals EVERY SINGLE DAY, for February if you meet your stated daily goal for at least 14 days you have met that goal for the month. Anything more is bonus. You can do the first 14 days, the last 14 days, every other day, two on two off .... (if you have a daily sleep goal I guess you could meet it by sleeping every other day, but that is probably not the smartest idea you’ve ever had).

 

Valentines (February 14) bonus.

If you double a daily goal on February 14 (20K steps instead of your normal 10K, for example), or if you get your sweetie to match your daily goal on that day, you can count it as two days toward the 14 days needed to meet your monthly minimum for that goal.

 

Suggested Posting Format
1) Post either your constant or variable step goal.
2) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved out of the monthly minimum and or monthly total

 

Note. Since the idea of the February variation is to have some goals but also to avoid burnout, If you have a goal that is not typically a daily goal for you, such as two or three strength training workouts a week, and the monthly total is not usually higher than 14, just do the number you normally would.

 

Injury Notice
If you injure yourself during the month and need to scale back due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your goal for that period. If you normally do 10k steps a day but pull a hamstring and decide to do minimal walking (2k steps a day), then all you have to do is change your goal.

February 14 - Bonus

All the above — double or nothing! Guess which one I chose....  😂 

I opted for 'nothing'! I almost did not put on my fitbit today, just so it could really be 'nothing' -- no counting, etc. My sweetheart of a husband and I just relaxed at home today, working on our 2017 tax returns (I know, kind of ironic). The relaxing part came at the end of the day when all the figures had been calculated, etc. For those of you who might be Americans living abroad, you know what I'm talking = having to convert all your figures, especially for the FBARs, into the official US dollar equivalent. [Yes, Americans living abroad have to file two tax returns: country of domicile, income, and the US.]

 

Wishing all you Peeps a very Happy Valentine's Day -- and that you meet your day's goals, whatever they may be.

@WendyB -- It is sort of a 14 day challenge.  But since we've got 28 days to do the 14 (plus the V-day bonus for those that got it), there's lots of room for bonus days this month.  We can be above perfect this month.  How about that!  Kind of like kids in school getting better than a 4.0 average, or turning up the volume to "11."
