Brilliant numbers - my highest Calories was 62,444 (March 18) and I know how hard you have to work for those numbers. Well done and keep up the great work👍

After a couple of cupcakes, my watch is now back to business!
37300 cal.
My 90 day move trend is 1307 so I should be able to handle this month.

I think it’ll work out pretty good as I do rock climbing 3x a week, and those days are an easy double. So I’ll get it done without going too far over and making it hard next time 😁
Well, I'm doing my July challenge and I'm currently at 47.7 miles out of 178.2. I went to the Baseball game yesterday and ended up walking 10.90 miles all day long. It was a good day.
On track here also. But when it’s close all three rings every day, it’s not much of a challenge for me. I am competing with a friend this week though which is a bit of fun.
I too am on track so far. I have to get all three rings every day and have done so through yesterday.
I’ve either doubled or tripled my move ring everyday this week. Just trying to stay in front of my friend.
Sadly I can't do that for mine, or I would. That is the "bad" thing about the challenge requiring something that must happen on a daily basis.
But it is supposed to be challenging, so that is cool.
But yeah, back when I was in college I always tried to be about a week ahead of what was in the syllabus, so that if I had problems understanding I had more time to ask a question or get it figured out.
I’m the same at work. I always get my monthly management reports in first. Even if I’m on holiday.
Oh, heck yes. Because I do not want to get on the "naughty list" for not doing something that I can easily get out of the way. I get my required training done ASAP, and I typically have my weekly time sheets submitted weeks in advance (and then edit as needed).
I am on track for mine too, I close all 3 rings anyway every day so it’s not really a challenge for me. But, I’m taking it slightly easier this month, so far averaging just over 1000 cal which is about 100 less.
In part to be prepared for Aug when I expect a challenge in calories or minutes, and August is by far the hottest month and I anticipate quite a few days above 100 with little cool down at night, so really not friendly for extensive exercise.

No, not where we are, a bit north east of San Diego… May grey, June gloom they says as during thos months we get regular fog and that cools off nicely over night. til about mid July we occasionally still get overnight fog… we are also at the end of a canyon that brings cool air from the Pacific, but in July the water temp goes into the low 70s so the cooling effect is gone…
I know the NW is a little different though
Good to know. It is easy, being in the Midwest, to think the entire West Coast is going up in flames sometimes...
Well, flames is a different story, usually more here than the NW since we don’t get a lot of rain, but this year looks like everything is just off…
Easy for you. I have a goal of 23,000 or 759/day. I think I am going to pass this month. This is a lot for a 72 year old woman with heart failure and other issues.
On track at 1146 Exercise Minutes out of a July Challenge of 3350 Exercise Minutes. Only reason I've tried for this month is that though I've added to my Functional Strength exercise minutes what I've really tripled down on (and more!) are minutes on my Exercise Bike. And the weather has not helped as far as Walking Exercise minutes are concerned. Hope Apple sometime in the future adjusts its algo or at least offers a Choice of 2 (3?) different Challenges. Yeah, fat chance...
Yeah, sometimes you need to let a challenge go and hope the next month's goal is more realistic.
Hey...you and your health and well being first! ANY competition a late second! You've already bested me by miles in the only REAL competition that matters! Keep on keeping on....
Ok, I didn’t succeed last month. Forgot to check for this months until on day as I was returning for my drive back from the holiday weekend. I have to do 2170 exercise minutes. That’s an average of 70 per day for the month, but necessary average had increased to 79 by the time I saw this and because I hadn’t been exercising really due to the holiday weekend.
It’s doable. I do about a 27 minute walk at work 5 days a week and try to do 60 minutes on the treadmill 5-6 days per week. I also walk to and from my park and ride which is about 8-9 minutes each way.
That will all get me close, but because I rarely exercise on Sunday, it’s going to take a conscious effort to get over the top. My daily average needed has dropped to just under 74 with what I’ve done so far this month as I’ve had a couple days over 100. I’ll keep you posted.

As a bit of a side note, I turned off the coaching notifications and it has been such a freeing feeling. I don't have to worry about it pestering me to do something that is so deeply ingrained in my lifestyle.
