Bonus Challenges Week 4

This week there are 3 bonus challenges, and you can earn a total of 9 bonus points for the week.

1-Strength train for 30 minutes.  If you do this once this week, you get one point.  If you do it twice (for a total of one hour this week) you get two points.  Here's an article on the importance of strength training to your health.  If you read it, you get another point. (Total possible: 3 points for the week)

2-Revisit your goals from week one.  Look over them and see how you are doing and if there's anything you should be doing to accomplish them that you haven't started yet but should have.  If you didn't set goals week one, do it this week for your point. (Total possible: 1 point for the week)

3-Get some rest.  I know that being a parent means that sometimes good, consistent sleep is out of your control.  But getting to bed by 10:30 at night can help set your body up for a better night's sleep.  So, this week, give yourself one point for every night you are in bed by 10:30pm..  (Monday-Friday with total possible: 5 points for the week)  Good luck with this one.  I know it's hard.  It might be impossible.  But it's worth a shot.

Good luck!  Have a good week.  If you are under the weather, like I am, take it easy and feel better soon.

  1. In bed by 10? Wow, that's going to be hard. But I'm going to give it a try. Tonight is already out, but hoping for the other days! Oh wait, Friday's out too. OK, maybe 3 points!!

  2. I know. Thursday night is church basketball, so I'm sure I won't make it that day. And I need to make sure that I don't check email and Facebook once I'm in bed. That will be hard, too. But maybe a little easier because I'm sick this week and taking all the sleep I can get. :)

  4. Okay, y'all. I switched it to 10:30, because, let's be real. It's still going to be hard for a lot of people, but it might be a little more realistic. :)
