12 Week Challenge.....

A week ago i started this 12 Week Wellness Challenge with about 25 people (maybe more i don't know exact). The challenge consists of 10 categories, each 1 point and your goal is to earn 10 points every day totaling 70 points a week.

These are the challenges we have every day/week....

1. 48 oz. of water
2. 45 minutes of exercise

3. 2 servings of veggies, 2 servings of fruit

4. No soda, beer, wine, unhealthy snacks (ex: potato chips), or bad fast food

5. No sweets. (Desserts, pastries, sugary snacks & cereals).

6. No eating after dinner/8pm

7. 15 min. of scripture reading

8. One journal entry (any length)

9. Express sincere appreciation, love or praise to your spouse

10. Personal Goal

We do get 1 free point for each category once a week so i can take a free day and just go all out.... or have a day that i don't exercise/eat sweets/ goal etc. So there is flexibility.

So far with my first week i did really good. I was more surprised at how easy it was to drink 48oz. H2O and not eating any SWEETS or drinking Soda (I'm not a huge soda drinker but i do like one every now and then). Now i don't even really crave sweets or soda any more. I love to exercise and i feel so good after.

One week down 11 more to go!! At the end of the challenge if i win then i get the $$ in the pot (about $250) or just a great experience challenging myself. I'm really excited and hope that i will get in shape and fit for a half marathon/race or anything that will challenge me more.

Clayton Family Reunion 09

Last week we had a Clayton (my moms side) family reunion in Island Park, ID. It was beautiful little resort about 20 miles from West Yellow Stone. We had a wonderful time and the weather was amazingly cool! It was nice to see all my aunts, uncles and cousins again, it had been 5 years since our last reunion. We had a great time playing games, eating lots and mingling with each other. I was the designated photographer so be prepared for picture OVERLOAD!!!
