New Activities

Sunday, September 27, 2009

So, two new exciting things that I've started/will start doing soon:

1. I've joined a quilting group. We meet each month, and learn how to make a new quilt block, and then have all month to complete that block. So far, I've only made half of one block, but I'll try to post a picture once I complete it. And, if you interested in seeing what my finished quilt may look like, check out this page. My quilt is the one named "Chloe." (I haven't decided yet whether I'll do the small size or the large size.)

2. I also joined a 12 week Healthy Habit Challenge group with some friends. Basically, we all paid $20 to join and the winner gets a $200 prize at the end. You can earn up to four points a day by doing the following things:

-get 7 hours of sleep
-eat healthy (no treats or junk food)
-35 minutes of vigorous exercise
-work on your personal goal (mine is going to be 20 minutes of scripture study per day)

I'm pretty excited for the challenge. I'm already pretty good about exercising daily and getting enough sleep. Turning down desserts and treats will be the biggest challenge, but the $200 prize is a big motivator for me. I'll keep you updated on my progress!

That sounds like such a great idea! I like the sleep and the exercise...but does hot chocolate count as junk food? If it does, I don't know if I could do it! I am impressed. Is it all on the honor system? I guess it would have to be. good luck!
