2012 Report in...

We are now approaching our second week of the 2012 Challenge, 10,000 steps a day. We have had such fun comparing notes. So far there are just 4 of us participating - Kevin and I, and my Mom and Dad.

Quick recap... first week was benchmark week to establish the first week's average steps per day. After that each week goal is to add average 500 steps per day, until we reach 10,000 steps, and then maintain until December 31, 2012.

We have all done quite well for our first enthusiastic week! I think all of us, averaged 6,000 steps per day. Second week has been a little bit more problematic- just adding 500 steps. Mom and Dad are in a major competition, and Dad has started to where his pedometer to bed, (I kid you not!)

Keep it up!!!

2012 Challenge ... The Rules... no, Guidelines...

Somewhere in the world, 2012 is being welcomed in... Just not here in Colorado. Not yet.

So after some thought here are the 2012 Challenge, Rules, ... er, no, guidelines.

Equipment needed:

1. pedometer

Goal:

(average) 10,000 steps a day.

First week begins January 1, 2012. First week, wear the pedometer of your choice. First week is baseline week. For each week thereafter add average of 500 steps per week. Each week note the average steps per week for that preceeding week.

Goal to reach average of  10,000 steps a day in the safest manner possible, and maintain for the year.

On the 2011 Challenge and New Year's Resolutions

I started 2011 filled with good intentions. I was going to get fit, and lose weight. Well I did quite nicely through about 4 - 5 months of the year, and then STUFF just happened, and now I am even more roly poly than before. Sigh!.

So here are my New Year's Resolutions...

Drumroll please...

I will not have any more new year's resolutions!

And the first thing you do with resolutions is you break them.

My family and I (of the roly poly status) are embarking on 2 challenges/ competitions for 2012. The first is that we are going to have pedometers strapped to our roly poly selves, and we are going to aim for the 10,000 step/ day average (rules, no ... guidelines to follow), and the second since we all had so much fun with the 2010 Photo a Day Challenge we are going to do something photography orientated for 2012. More to follow.

So join us, laugh at us, whatever! I just know that 2012 is going to be a great year!

Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays/ Happy New Year

I am having a very lazy time, being at home and enjoying the holidays.

All the best to you and yours for 2012!
