Making changes for better health, one choice at a time.
THE CHALLENGE
The Jensen Health Challenge consists of several categories: Weight Loss, 3x a Week Work Out, 5x a Week Work Out, Sugar Once a Week, Sugar Once Bi-weekly, Sugar Once a Month, No Sugar 'til Reunion, 5k Fun Run (1 mile run/walk for kids), and Kick a Habit. Find a challenge you can stick with until the reunion. The purpose of this blog is for accountability and support. We all want to see each other succeed and make healthy life choices. Hopefully this will be a way to do that while having fun and getting prizes at the end! Obviously some contests afford only one top dog, such as weight loss, but others can have as many prizes as there are people to complete the challenge! All the children who complete the fun run/walk will receive a prize as well. Nicole is working out how much prizes will cost, and we can just split the cost between all of us. Sorry, funds allow only one prize per person. We hope everyone will stick to a challenge until the reunion. Here's to healthier lives!
Weight Loss
This challenge is obvious: lose as much weight as you can before the reunion. This challenge should be done sensibly, through proper diet and exercise! Results will be measured in percentage of weight lost. There will be an overall winner, and then a winner for males and females. Put your starting weight(use a scale, no guessing!) so that we have a benchmark to measure from.

Kick a Habit
For this challenge contenders will chose an unhealthy habit of their choice, and kick it out the door! It can be going out to eat for lunch, deciding to eat out only once a week, month, etc. It can be anything that is something that you normally do that isn't healthy that will be a bit of a struggle to overcome.

5K Fun Run (1 mile run/walk for 13 & under)
