  • ATKINSNATION Celebration Challenge

    In conjunction with
    INTERNATIONAL ATKINS DIET DAY


    COME BE A PART OF THE
    ATKINSNATION Celebration Challenge!!!


    One of our newest members, ATKINSNATION, is in need of our help.
    ATKINSNATION has pledged 2000 minutes of exercise on
    AUGUST 1, INTERNATIONAL ATKINS DIET DAY.
    2000 MINUTES


    But, alas, dear ATKINSNATION won't make it without our help. Our challenge is to help ATKINSNATION achieve the goal.


    This is a ONE DAY CHALLENGE.
    CHALLENGE DATE...... AUGUST 1
    CHALLENGE GOAL..... RACK UP 2000 MINUTES OF EXERCISE FOR ATKINSNATION



    This is easy peasy.....
    1. There is no sign up You can ask questions, which i will try to answer, but the only thing that counts is the donated minutes and that those minutes are posted in this thread.


    2. There are no upper limits on the amount of minutes you can donate but donations must be at least 10 minutes.


    3. Exercise should be ABOVE AND BEYOND what you would count for any other challenge. For example, if suzywantstohelp bikes 25 mintues but counts that towards her Mileage Challenge, it won't count here. If suzywantstohelp takes a rest day in the 6 WEC but jogs for 30 minutes [and does not use those minutes for any other challenge], she can donate the 30 minutes to ATKINSNATION. In other words, minutes should be done specifically for ATKINSNATION and for no other reason or purpose.


    4. On August 1 and August 2, post your donated minutes in this thread. Sending a pm to the Moderators, the Admins, other members will not work. Posts MUST BE made in this thread to count.

    ATKINSNATION has arranged a special award for anybody helping make the pledged minutes. Your special award will be given out on Monday, August 4. You must post the donated minutes in this thread and they must be at least 10 minutes to earn the award.

    So, you get to help out a member in need, get some extra exercise in and get a special award for your help.


    WHAT COULD BE BETTER?!

    Jimmie, I'm sure that the very generous people of this board will be more than happy to help ATKINSNATION reach his exercise goal! It will be fun to see just how many minutes that we can rack up for him.

    I'm planning my minutes already!

                Jimmie,

                If I need to exercise on 1st in order not to slug out of the challenge can I do so and if also exercise again later in the day and donate that to Atkinsnation?

                      I shall make sure I exercise on Thursday for my 6WEC exercising instead of having a rest day, to make sure I will have some 'spare' minutes for Atkinsnation on Friday!
                      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



                      Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

                        OMG, I was so scared when I saw it as being Saturday (I try to do nothing on Saturdays) but was overjoyed when saw it as Friday (we get out of work at Noon, so more time at the gym)!
