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!

For Those Lacking Motivation

Maybe it's because Hayden is teething and not sleeping as well, but for some reason I have had very LITTLE motivation to work out. However, one thing I found that helps me is to have a plan. There are lots of work out plans online, and some of them are really great. When I know exactly what I need to do that day it is easier for me to get out and do it. Whether you put together your own plan a month in advance or you find one online that you can stick with, it helps to actually get it done. The old adage that writing down your goals makes you more likely to achieve them is true after all. :) This week I start training for a half marathon...we'll see how it goes!
