Evening, Füsters!

Hopefully the three day “game intro” over this weekend wasn’t too painful or complicated for you. Bonuses were easy, weather wasn’t terrible (at least here at The Füste HQ), and the sun is staying up late to give you extra time to get stuff done!

Here’s your Week 1 game update:

No real issues on the reporting front this weekend. One thing of note, don’t forget that sometimes what you do for daily exercise will also count towards a bonus opportunity, e.g. if there’s a 1.5 mile Long Sömmer Stroll bonus on the table and for your daily exercise you do a 4 mile walk, you can claim the bonus too! Don’t short yourself bonuspunkte when you’ve earned it!
Speaking of bonuspunkte, you’ve got three bonus activity opportunities this week:
- The Long Sömmer Stroll bonus series continues, this week with a 3 mile walk/run. You can probably see where this is going . . .
- The So Many Stairs bonus series also continues with 25 flights. Shut up legs!
- The first non-weekly bonus (still a series tho) also drops with Parkenfüste #1. Go for a three mile walk/run in any city/county/state/National park to score this bonus.
- Go HERE for more details on these bonuses!
Sömmer Skūl starts tomorrow with its daily assigned homework. For those of you who have Füsted before, we’re going to try something a little different this time. Go HERE for details!
Tomorrow is also the first Fastentag of Sömmer Kamp. This means that once the sun comes up, you’re stuck with clear liquids only till 6pm. Yes, the strict definition of a Fastentag is dawn to dusk but with Sömmer’s late sunsets, GG doesn’t want to push you to eating too late in the evening as that would be counterproductive for the what we’re trying to accomplish. So, no food from dawn to 6pm, tomorrow. Be there and be prepared to be hangry!
And tomorrow is also the first day you start earning credit towards your first drink coupon. Remember, scored 7 total workout points between tomorrow and next Sunday and you’ll earn a drink coupon redeemable during Week 2.
And just a final reminder: GG is one person (no AI here!) with a whole other full time job that will sometimes get in the way of responding back to you in a timely manner. Please just be patient if you text and don’t get an immediate reply; GG will always do his best to respond to questions and requests same day (unless you hit him up after about 10pm). Coming up this week, there will be an all day comms black out on Wednesday as GG will be in a very long in person meeting and won’t be able to monitor his game phone. Just FYI.

Alright, that’s enough for now. Hope everyone has a great Week 1 and remember, significant change does not come without significant effort so put the time in here! Sömmer Kamp is only 7 weeks; not a very long time to commit to something that will make you healthier and happier. Good luck!
