Here's to an active lifestyle

So dad was talking about doing a biggest looser kind of challange which is cool but we are morphing it a bit. When I worked at the Y (YMCA) I came up with a challnge to get people motivated to work out. There was a game board and every day you worked out you got to move closer to the end. The first three finnishers got a free turkey. (it was at thanksgiving time). It was a huge success and people loved it. So I thought we could try it as a family and it is something everyone can do including the kids. 30 minutes every day (except Sunday) of physical activity. Not working in your yard (sorry mom), but walking running biking yoga jumping on the trampoline etc. We kind of started last weekend and my kids love it! Now if one of you smarty pants can figure out how to track it, it would be really helpful. Cor said he would put something up but if anyone else has an idea let us know. We will end in august around the family reunion and the 3 people who have the most days will get a super duper prize that I will think of shortly. We will start Monday. Lifes too short to be lazy. So get out there and play!
Love meags
Ps. Cory started running at Christmas time 9 to 15 miles per week (about 30 minutes 3 to 5 days a week) and he has lost 18lbs and 2 notches on the belt without any change to his diet. And you know how we love food at our house especially when I am preggers.
