Bonus February Challenge!!!

February is over half-way gone, but you've still got just about 2 weeks to earn an extra point this month.  Since it's all about love, valentines and hearts this month, do a little something extra for your heart health!

For 1 bonus point toward the "Not-So-Dumbbell" award you must do at least 3 on the following list of activities:

  • Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator when the opportunity presents itself.
  • Park your car at the far end of the parking lot.
  • Spend a few minutes of your lunch break taking a stroll.
  • Perform your housework like vacuuming, shoveling snow, etc., a little extra vigorously than usual so you notice your heart actually pumping.
  • Schedule an after-dinner family walk. Make it quality time.
  • Eat oatmeal for breakfast or snack (preferably with minimal sugar/butter).
  • Add a fruit/vegetable to at least one meal every day (preferably green and/or fibrous).
  • Say this phrase to a person you love:  "I love you and I'm glad you are working to improve your health and happiness."
Easy way to earn an extra point, huh?  Keep track of which ones you do by Feb. 28 at 12 midnight and let me know so I can award you!
