Going For The Gold(en Sneaker)

Well, our family didn't exactly go for the Gold. But we did manage to get one medalist:  me! Yes, I am finally reporting in on the Olympic Challenge.  So, congratulations to me for earning a Bronze medal.  I wish I could've been a better example by winning the Gold... I feel a little like Michael Phelps.  Ahhh, the pressure!!!  I'm not perfect, people! 

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!!!
