Fall Challenge Week 1

This week the topic of the meeting has to do with the little things. How the little steps, the little victories can make a big difference.

That inspires me to start a Fall Challenge that will take us from now to January! Now that Lose for Good is all done, we need something else to tweak our motivation a little bit right? Here's what I'm thinking:

For this week: Find, each day, one way you can move a little more in your day to day activities and do it.

For example:

If Tuesday is grocery shopping day:

• Park further from the door,
• Bring your bags up the stairs one at the time instead of 2 or 3 (or 4) at a time,
• Add steps by your shopping by going from one end to the other in the store,
• Carry a 5 lbs of potatoes while shopping (watch your back on that one!),

If Wednesday is laundry day:

• Walk your clothes to the laundromat instead of taking the car,
• Fold and put away the clothes one piece at a time instead of stacking them up,
• Walk around while the machines are running instead of sitting around,

Any daily activity can burn additional calories if you think about it a little bit. You can turn up the music and dance while cleaning. You can take the dog on an extra long walk instead of just going around the block. There are so many possibilities!

So that's your challenge this week: Find ways to burn more calories in your little daily routine.

Please feel free to post suggestions in the comments!

On goes the music! I got some cleaning to do!!!!
