Bonus Challenges Week 6

This week we're going to revisit some of the challenges from the first few weeks.  There are 5 challenges, so a total of 5 possible bonus points for the week.

1. Try something new.  Do a physical activity that you haven't before or try a new recipe.  Post what you tried in the comments of the post.  Maybe you'll inspire someone else with an idea of what to try. (Worth 1 point)

2. Do 350 crunches this week.  Break it up and do 50 a day, or do all 350 at once.  However you want to get them in is fine.  You choose. (Worth 1 point)

3. Stretch.  Spend at least 30 minutes this week stretching.  If you are just working out and not keeping limber, you'll be more likely to get injured.  (Worth 1 point)

4. Get a friend active, too.  Do at least one workout with a friend, your kids, your spouse, or co-worker this week.  Not only will it make you more likely to follow through, but you'll be helping someone else be active as well, and you'll probably have more fun doing it. (Worth 1 point)

5. Make a list of your successes so far in the challenge.  It's easy to focus on our shortcomings and failures, but it's more important to see the little gains and achievements as we work toward our ultimate goal.  (Worth 1 point)

  1. Shauna, you're so great. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Ok, not going to list my failures. I will say that I'm drinking more water and eating lots more fruits and vegetables. And that makes me feel good. Thanks!

  2. I made this delicious recipe from Alison Linnel's blog. Everyone in my family loved it. I doubled everything, except the brocolli and then added a breast of chicken. http://wheatgrindermoments.blogspot.com/search/label/Broccoli%20and%20Bow%20Tie%20Pasta

  3. I am learning that fast Sundays are the hardest to get in the allotted amount of water :) I also find that trying to get in all of fruits and veggies means I eating less of the other "junk"! Thanks Shauna!

  4. Charity, it's so true about fast Sundays. I have a hard time getting my water and my fruits and veggies on Fast Sunday. Shannon, that recipe sounds so good! Thanks for sharing. Tiff, you are awesome. You are making good changes. Keep it up!
