HBBC Prizes Arrived

January 12, 2012 By 1 Comment

I got home last night and the prizes I won from the HBBC contest were waiting for me.  Amanda had indicated she mailed them a day or so ago so I wasn’t even beginning to hope that they’d arrive until the end of the week but there they were!  I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a package in a long time.

The HBBC challenge was fun but it also pushed me to work out a lot harder than I normally would have.  And, while it was great to be a part of the challenge and win a prize… It is also time for me to cut back the exercising a bit which I’ll be attempting to do over the next few weeks.

The prizes were: Odwalla running shorts, Believe Tank, Inji Socks, Crystal light surprise pack, and Amy’s coupons for free burritos!  I can’t wait to try each of these things.  I checked the sizes and it looks like just about everything should fit too!  Double lucky. :)  Thanks Amanda!!

HBBC Progress – Week Six

December 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It has been about a week since I last posted.  I took Saturday and Sunday as rest days and I haven’t been walking as much as normal so my points for this week are definitely lower than prior weeks.  It felt good to take a bit of time off, though!  As you’ll note, I am creating the post for this week on Thursday – so when I enter Friday’s data, I will be updating the original post.

 

Saturday: 3 mile walk (3 points) + fruits/veggies (1 point)

Sunday: Rest day (0 points) + fruits/veggies (1 point)

Monday: 29.22 miles bike (9.74 points) + fruits/veggies (1 point)

Tuesday: 31.57 miles biked (10.52 points) + fruits/veggies (1 point)

Wednesday:  Arc Trainer (8.7 points) + fruits/veggies (1 point)

Thursday: Arc Trainer (9 points)

Friday: Arc Trainer (9 points) + fruits/veggies (1 point)

Total: 55.96

So, it is week two of the #HBBC challenge.  I think that I did pretty well the first week.  It was a different kind of week for me with a Holiday on Thursday so I had to rearrange some of my workouts.  I am looking forward to a normal week this week!

Sunday: Rest day (0 points) + veggies/fruit (1 point)


Monday: Arc trainer (8 points) + Walk 3.24 miles (3.24 points) + Strength Training (1 point) + veggies/fruit (1 point)

A Healthy Living Challenge

Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge 2011


I’ve been watching a lot of people join different fitness & healthy living challenges on twitter and it looks like a lot of fun.  So, when I stumbled across the “Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge” yesterday I was hoping it was a challenge that wasn’t focused on just running as I’ve had to give up running for a while.  I was super happy to see that it incorporated not only different types of fitness activities but also food and nutrition – making it a good “healthy living challenge”.


And, what a perfect time of year for the challenge… the holidays.  It is always much harder to stay on track during the holidays.  So, hopefully this will give just a bit of extra motivation!  There is still time to sign up - the challenge runs from November 19th through January 6th.  I’ll be updating the blog with my progress and I can’t wait to start.  I hope that you join too…it looks like a lot of fun!
