I've been walking a lot at work. I work on a college campus and It is MUCH easier to walk everywhere than to move my car. I do have a reserved parking space (since I am required to live on campus) but there is no guarantee that there will be a parking space where I am going. It's going to die down towards the end of the week though. @JustCallMeAmber will be back in the lead probably soon enough. I like it while I have it though.

Making great progress. Keep it up
Thanks Bean. I'm trying.

For the first day, I over shot my protein goal (215 g) by 10 g, was 1g shy of my carbs goal (168g), but was well below my fats goal (44g out of 130g). I was still below my normal kcal goal too. IIFYM suggested my kcal should be 2666 per day to get my macros in. Guess I have to eat more fatty carb laden foods while still keeping the protein up.

With this week's weigh-in, I'm almost at the weight I was this summer before falling off the program. Today, I weighed 255.2. My lowest weight, after 6 months of NF, was 250. I've lost 29 pounds since respawning on January 12.

Rebels and fellow nerds:
For the next month or so, I am going to try eating according to my suggested macros. Not worrying about calories. My daily macros are 205 grams protein, 169 grams carbs, and 130 grams of fat. This will put my calories at 2666 per day. This is not a deficit, but if I am active, I'll be burning the calories to bring me into a caloric deficit. I did purchase the advanced macro guide from iifym.com and it does say that it will take a few weeks to get my body used to the macros and I may see some increase in weight, which I am ok with, because in the long run, I'll be healthier and the pounds will come off.

@Guzzi, I guess you are ultra competitive. All I have to say is BRING IT!!

First 4 week challenge grade - F!!
Doing my second 4 week challenge this month. Currently in the second week. Going better than the last challenge, for sure.

I joined this year's Walk to Mordor today. I added my mileage from the day I started NF, 2/8/18, and I'm 75 miles from Mordor.
-
I feel like I cheated in the race. I walked more at work than usual this week.

Hello fellow rebels! I am Balthazar77 and this is my second four week challenge; my first being the most recent one completed. For this challenge, I am using the same goals as the first challenge because I know I can do better at developing the habits these challenges are meant to help with. I am also adding one more fitness and one level up my life goal. I think I did an ok job with my first challenge but there is room to grow. I will be updating this thread each week for my challenge log and accountability.
My goals for this challenge will be:
Diet Goals:
1. Drink half my body weight in ounces of water per day.
2. Eat breakfast at home for 5 days of the week.
Fitness goal:
1. Walk 250 steps an hour for 9 hours during the work day.
2. Have 30 active minutes per day
Level up my life goal:
1. Get 7.5 hours of sleep per night during the work week.
2. Smoke less than 5 cigarettes per day (I need to quit smoking)

So my first 4 week challenge is complete. I didn't do as well as I hoped at developing habits but I tried and that is half the battle. I am going to continue these goals for the next 4 week challenge do see if I can do better. This challenge will be my baseline as I think it is truly reflective of where I am in my respawn.

Is the 250 steps per hour because that's how the Fitbit app tracks it?
Yes. It’s the way I track my activity during work hours since I have a desk job.
