I went from wearing pants with a 34" waist to a 32" waist last year, thanks to all the running I did. And those 32" waist size pants will probably start to feel a little loose later this year. I hope.

I hope it doesn't come to that.
But I do understand. Maybe about 10 years ago the company I worked for, or at least the division I was in, gave us free entry level FitBits to help motivate people t exercise (and lower insurance costs). These were the ones that only count steps.
I found myself cutting my evening set on the bicycle machine early because I had met the step goal. Once I realized what I was doing I stopped that behavior, and after the competition was over that I participated in a stopped wearing the FitBit.
So I think having done that before has helped me be "OK" with not getting my rings on a given day. But I still like to get the rings, and I understand why others want to get all the rings.
I’ve got 38” from about 4-5 years back that I’ve mostly got rid of.I went from wearing pants with a 34" waist to a 32" waist last year, thanks to all the running I did. And those 32" waist size pants will probably start to feel a little loose later this year. I hope.
36” I can get by with a belt.
34” that depending on style need a belt or are okay.
That's probably why I have a 600+ day streak, because I have formed a habit around it. The Challenges do feel like a chore sometimes though.
One thing that I’ve done with my watch is turn off the “coaching” notifications. It drove me crazy that if I was the least behind with activity for a particular day, it would pester me. It was especially irritating that sometimes it would bug me as soon as I put it on my wrist, first thing in the morning, before I even had a chance to do anything. Something is off for with the algorithm for the watch, if it cant figure out that you had just gotten up.
I still leave other notifications on, such as when those that I get when I close rings, or the breathe reminders.

I too turned it off. When it said I should be further along in my move goal than I am when I just woke up, that's like the watch being a bit of a bully and I don't need that to start the day.
I usually workout in the evenings during the week and in the morning on the weekends. I hate when I see that on Monday morning. Like sheesh, settle down there Apple Watch, I'll get to my workout.
I’m pretty much the exact opposite. Mornings in the week. Anytime on a weekend (but rarely before breakfast like in the week).
Normal routine is.
35 minutes cross trainer session first thing.
45 minutes lunchtime walk.
another walk of quick run in the evening time permitting.
Double my Move Goal 16 times. Currently at 500 calories for the move goal, weather has been very pleasant here so I’ve already accomplished doubling 9x.
Not going to make this months challenge but got this today
It will be a long time before I get to 2000 move goals.
And this month's challenge will be tough for me as well - if I get in long runs for the remaining weekend days (which I want to do regardless of monthly challenge) then it will be close.
Well, I have had an AW for a while
I just wish Apple would report this in years/month vs days - beyond a month or 2 I just have no idea and of course I do know that 1 year has 365 or 366 days…
Think of it like the Spinal Tap move - instead of the speakers going to 11, your number of move goals goes up to 2000 (as opposed to about 5 years and 6 months). 🤪Well, I have had an AW for a while

And 10 more days to go on the 2000 streak 😀
Well done. I’m on about 247 days. Having owned an AW 247 days!
Monthly goal down to 58 minutes a day. So should have it licked in plenty of time!
The 21st is International Yoga Day: https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/09/apple-watch-yoga-challenge/
Not really something I’d wish to try. I’d probably do myself an injury!
I’ve done 1,834 of my 2,540 so just 54 exercise minutes a day left now.
Weigh in day tomorrow.
This should be appearing in your Limited Edition Challenges awards section
I think I will too. Yoga is way too low intensity for me. I only like high intensity stuff. I feel like I’d probably burn more calories taking a nap. 😴 💤
