Mangostrike Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Anyone have advice on how to record the Angry Birds workout as exercise on MyFitnessPal?

deftona Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sub'd for similar goals - I would also like to be below 200 lbs by my birthday! (27th December). Regarding the MFP tracking, maybe circuit training? That's my go-to category on there for anything that cycles between moves like Angry Birds does. Good luck with your goals! If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested. Profile picture credit : NF's resident super artist - NinjaKitten Link to comment

RogueWelkin Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Welcome back Mango, glad to see you're still at it. Sadly I don't think I've ever used MFP for exercise tracking (I usually use fitocarcy+RunKeeper) so I can't offer any decent advice there. 80(. I've done a lot of goals similar to a lot that you've got in here. Can't wait to see how they work for you.

Jill Beat Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Looks like sleep is somewhat a side goal for you as part of #1. So important yet we often don't prioritize it! A couple challenges ago I made it a goal, and got a lot better, but it's starting to slip a bit and I know I need to stop wasting time and just freaking go to bed!Good luck with this challenge! 1 NF Challenge #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #8.5, #9, #10, #11, currently #12 Fitness with Jill on Facebook!

Tateman Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 How's the week going? Tracking different things like the Angry Birds workout was always hard when I was trying to track in various things. I kind of just tried breaking down each exercise and listing it.

Mangostrike Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 The week has been going really well. I'm at my lowest weight right now (still a long way to go though). Still haven't figured out a good way to record on MFP, but I'm getting things done. I managed to exercise 3 mornings this week and am hoping I'll get something in over the weekend too. See you on Sunday! 2 MangostrikeRace: Stone Troll | Class: Ranger[Level: 3 | STR 6 | DEX 2.5 | STA 6.25 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 3.5 ]Battle Log 1-First-Blood 2-Nerf-Herder 3-A-New-Hope 4-Get-Angry If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Mangostrike Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Week 1 Summary: B for the week. Additional workouts (as planned) would have been right on track with expectations. Main Quest: Dropped to 215.4 Lbs on June 13th. Mini Quests: 1. Workout more frequently [sTR +3] [DEX +2]Ran on Tuesday and Thursday Morning, Angry Birds on Wednesday. Skipped on Friday and the weekend due to "Busy" (poor excuse...not good. C = 3 workouts 2. Hydrate [WIS +1] [CON +3]Drank almost 2+ Liters of water each day. Had Beer and a sports drink on Thursday at Boy's night, as well as Beer on both weekend days (more boy's time and then Father's Day), stuck to only 1 coffee on each day except Sunday, only twice with creamer. A = 5 days 3. Record Keeping [WIS +2] [CON +1]Tracked food/drink on MFP every day. The weekend days weren't entered until Monday, and it shows. More frequent record keeping with curtail nose dives before they get out of hand. A = 5 days 4. Clean house [CON +1] [WIS +2]All dishes done before bed + 15 minutes of clutter clean up pretty much every day except Sunday (a mountain of dishes and already late night with no counter space. A- = 5 days Found a new passion this week too. This is satisfying my urge to play Warhammer 40K, while tapping into my deep seeded love of Star Wars. Bonus points for having friends who immediately went and bought their own sets...having a gaming night on Thursday where I'll take on my friend's YT-1300 with My TIE Swarm...Can't wait for my Imperial Aces to show up next week! 2 MangostrikeRace: Stone Troll | Class: Ranger[Level: 3 | STR 6 | DEX 2.5 | STA 6.25 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 3.5 ]Battle Log 1-First-Blood 2-Nerf-Herder 3-A-New-Hope 4-Get-Angry If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

RogueWelkin Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Looks like a decent week overall, I've got that game, but I think I've only played it once. Too many other board games sitting around to play for it to get too much play sadly.
