Going for the Gold(en Sneaker)!

Well, our family didn't exactly go for the Gold.  But we did get a couple of medalists!  I am finally reporting in on the Olympic Challenge.  Congratulations to Erin for winning Silver medal status and Jenny for the Bronze!  I managed to also get a Bronze medal as well. 

But, don't forget:  the challenges always continue!  Just because I put a time limit on them for point-earning purpose doesn't mean you can't keep doing them!!!

I did find out from the survey that "Brilliant," was the favorite British phrase most of us picked up during the Olympics.  I just don't see "Bob's your uncle" ever catching on here in the States.

So... here's September's challenge:

Do something active 6 days a week so that Sunday is truly a day of rest.  Make yourself earn that day of rest!  "Something active" can mean several things:  a formal workout, an evening stroll, some yoga/stretching... even a quick set of 10 body squats and 10 kitchen counter push-ups. 

JUST DO SOMETHING ACTIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, except Sunday.

Point Value:  4 points if you do the 2 weeks left in September; 2 points if you do this for 1 week.

This is an easy one even if you haven't been very active up to this point.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START MAKING YOURSELF HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER... or earn "Not-So-Dumbbell Award" points!

Brilliant!!!

  1. This is a great challenge! Dave and I were recently talking about going on walks after dinner to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. This will be good motivation.
