Wellness Challenge, #2

Here's another challenge from the BYU Wellness department for all of you who want to join me. If any of you finish it, I can make something homemade for you as a prize again! Here's the details: Beginning today until July 2, you either exercise for 800 minutes (which is an average of 20 minutes a day/5 days a week) or walk 320,000 steps (which is an average of 8000 steps a day/5 days a week) and finish 4 of the 8 mini challenges:

--Set a budgeting goal for this week or month to become more aware of your spending.

--At the end of the day, write down ten things you are grateful for.

--Stretch for 10 minutes before or after exercising three times this week.

--Do a secret act of service.

--Call someone you haven't talked to in a while, or someone you feel may need a call.

--Study a gospel topic you would like to better understand.

--Eat at least 5 fruits or vegetables today.

--Read an article or start a book about a topic you want to know more about.

Not too hard, right? You can actually increase this if you want to push yourself (by ten minute increments a day for the exercise or 2000 steps a day for the steps). Anybody want to join me? I'm doing the exercising because pedometers bug me, but if you have a nice pedometer, I think the steps would be fairly easy. How many times do you pack laundry up and down the stairs every day, or chase kids down the street or go from fridge to counter to sink to oven, or even up and down the aisles in a store. Those add up pretty quickly! Let me know if you want to do the challenge, and what prize you would like ( I make bags or purses pretty fast--sort of!--or I can try something you find on-line. Please no full size quilts, or you won't get it for about ten years:)).

And Tasha and Cindi, I haven't forgotten about you! Did you finish the last challenge? What do you want Tasha? When can we get together Cindi?
