Day 11 of 21
Well. Amazing. I've made it half-way through this mini exercise-challenge of ours.
Just as planned, it rained all night and a good majority of the day today. I went for a 15 min walk at work today, so finished off the work-week strong.
Plan is to still get out and go jogging/walking tomorrow morning. Sigh. Even in the rain. I am not afraid of being cold and I am not even opposed to being wet. It's the winter time when there is ICE on the road that I refuse to be out there jogging, friends.
I walk year-round because I take the bus to work at least half the time. So that's not the issue. But, I don't need to be out there running bad enough to be doing it on ice. I've fallen enough times just walking. Not gonna do it. No ifs, ands or buts LOL!!
Let's see. What else.
Answers:
The Commit to Be Fit program at work. We did the first one in 2005 right after I had started at this job. That is when we did the walking program where the goal was to walk 1 million steps in a year. I did that and I just kept logging my steps.
Then we had one similar to what we are doing now, where you get points for the water you drink, adding fruits, veggies, fiber to your diet, we get a 1/2 point per 15 min of exercise. This year, they have added blood checks for diabetics, vitamins, doctor check-ups, weigh-ins, etc.
Each week they ask a bonus question and that helps.
That's all I know. Other than I feel like I was run over by a truck this week (over 100 new requests for Starbucks - closing locations). That's not new information. They plan to close around 600 stores in the first half of their 2009 fiscal year. Well, I think their fiscal year runs Oct - Sept, so that's why they nailed me this week!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
