My Explaining Later

The information in my previous post was to help me track my daily progress in a 12 week challenge that just started this week at work. There are 4 activities or contests that I can choose to compete in.

210 to win

Exercise 210 minutes or more for the week (an average of 30 min a day). Everyone that does that for the entire 12 week period will be given a chance to win a gift card.

These Shoes are Made for Walking

In this challenge I track the number of steps I walk/run every week. The person with the most steps at the end of the challenge wins a gift card. Work provided pedometers, because counting in my head would be too tedious.

Diary Your Diet

This one is essentially the what I eat all day challenge. If I document my meals for the 12 weeks then I will be entered to win a ...drum roll please.... gift card.

The Biggest Loser

Like the show with the same name, this is to track who has lost the largest percentage of weight during the 12 weeks. I might have had a chance had this started back in February, but I have already been told by too many people to count that I need to stop losing weight. So I'm not going to participate in this one.

Oh only one gift card per person so i can't take home 3 golds.

I plan to post a little more on how i've gotten where I am fitness wise. Just don't have it in me today to do that post.
