Hello! Here at 2 Fat Nerds, each Wednesday is a Weigh-In day, where all of the data from the previous week is collected, displayed, and analyzed. Now, let’s dig in to the results!
Weight
Each week, members who have opted to have their weights publicly displayed for the world to see have them graphed on the main blog. It is a great way to keep track over time, and it gives a bit more accountability to your workouts. If you are interested, leave a comment!
AFP
Anti-fat points (AFP) is a system designed to give some sort of value to each and every workout, regardless of type. It is based on metabolic-equivalent values out of the compendium of physical activities. Submit a workout, get AFP. Each week we post the totals for each person for the week. In addition, you may see the monthly AFP leaderboard on the right-hand sidebar. This is meant to be a fun way to encourage competition to see who can earn the most points!
Chain-Game
The Chain Game is a fun little system we came up with to see how many consecutive weeks a person can complete a minimum of three days of workouts. Every week in a row that a person completes the three-day goal, he or she adds one link to his or her active chain. For more information see this post!
The November Challenge
The November Challenge is still going! Please read up on the post for the explanation of the challenge.
We fell short again!
So, I know this challenge may be a bit lofty, but I really think it is doable. The target is 165 AFP average score across all team members for the week. After talking with a few people about revising this goal down, I have decided not to. I don't want to admit defeat to a goal. Let's try to get it done this week.
Map
Each week we chart our cardio-based workout distances (no cycling included). We add another 182 km to our trip!
I was 2 AFP short?!?! Ahhh! I knew I should have done some ab work!!!
There is no way in hell I will be reaching your little challenge number within the next 6 or so months, so the rest of yall fools best get to making up for it!
pfft go team =P. I’ll break your chain, say I wont!
The chain exists regardless of your efforts!
Sorry! I think until the wedding, our numbers are going to be a bit compromised. But hey, two weigh-ins from now, David and I will be married 😀 (And the hotel we’re staying at for our honeymoon has an exercise room—yes, we checked!)
Now thats dedication! I suppose that is a valid excuse though. I so excited!
