NOVEMBER GO 100 MILE CHALLENGE
Commence on November 1st

Our fitness challenge for November is something we were inspired by Bobbie on. We will start, each of us, to go 100 miles. You can do it any way you want… walking, running, biking, swimming, DVD workouts at home, circuit training, kickboxing, pilates, yoga.. whatever you want! Now if you’re one of the lucky ones and workout at the gym, where the treadmill or stationary bike tells you how many miles you’ve gone.. AWESOME! If not, we have a way to clock your miles… Nicole! That’s right! Nicole has a handy-dandy gadget at her disposal that can help you calculate your miles. For starters, if your exercise is walking, at home DVD’s, or classes of any kind.. you can use this easy mathematical equation… 15 minutes of exercise = ½ mile on your journey. If you’re a pedometer wearer and want her to, Nicole can take the number of steps you’ve done, plus it in, and give you your mileage! If you need her to calculate your miles for anything please let her know.. email her direct! For walking, she will need the duration that you walked. Went grocery shopping and walked around Walmart for 2 hours? It counts!! That would be 2 miles of walking! Now if you are a runner/jogger or bicyclist, Nicole will need your duration and either your heart rate and/or average speed (if you know it). So basically, if you’re not sure of your miles, email Nicole!!

Water Challenge

I'm bringing back the water challenge. How much water are you drinking? Is it enough? What is your water goal for the next two weeks? Add it to your goals for the week and achieve!



My suggestion drink more water on active days and less on other days.

And to help Sally out, what ideas can we give to cats, such as Sally, who due to classroom restriction, can not always make a bathroom run whenever she wants.

If you are a receptionist, how do you handle meeting your water obligations and do your job?

IDEAS???

Eat Your Vegetable Challenge (specially For Jenn)

What is your 5 a day daily requirements?

Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. 5 a day Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, fibre and nutrients that are important for good health. Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. Eating 5 a day or more servings of fruits and vegetables is part of an important plan for healthier living. By adding variety you get the total scope of required vitamins and minerals rather than a single type of phytochemicals and antioxidants your body needs to ward of aging and cell damage

Tips on getting family and kids 5 a day


Stock kitchen


It sounds obvious, but having the right foods on hand makes you more likely to eat them. Choose from fresh fruit and vegetables, tinned fruit in its own juice, no-salt-added tinned vegetables, dried fruit, pure fruit and vegetable juice (frozen or tinned,) and frozen fruit and vegetables.


Systematic addition to your cooking


For a 5 day, add apples to your pork, chopped carrots or onions to spaghetti sauce or frozen mixed vegetables to your favourite pasta recipe. Top cake with red fruits. Fruit and vegetables can only add to the taste of your foods, and they’re good for you.


Choose meals that are packed with veggies


Craving soup for dinner? Choose a chunky vegetable stew to help get that 5 a day. Pasta on the menu tonight? Remember that tomato-based spaghetti sauce counts as a vegetable. Having frozen pizza for a weekend lunch? Buy one with added mushrooms, green peppers and onions, then add your own broccoli when you get home.


Feast on them as snacks


Keep carrot sticks handy in the fridge. have fresh fruit at hand, on a bowl in the dinning room, a basket in the kitchen. When the kids come in give the a fruit to develop that health fresh fruit reflex.


Have a fruity dessert


Fruit salad is perhaps the most convenient of health food. Practical to finish on a vitamin rich dinner but is great for the mornings breakfast.


Drink your fruit



Stay away from sodas, even diet sodas, See the drinks page for the best things to drink.

Fresh fruit juice or 100% pure juice is the best way to get 2/3 out of 5 of your daily portions of fruit and veg. Smoothies all natural and non adulterated are absolutely fantastic healthy and convenient ways to eat your fruit.

My Goals

Bi-weekly:
145 oz of water most days
3 to 4 veggies daily
4 to 6 fruits daily
2000 to 3000 calories on 2 to 3 hr exercise days
1500 to 1800 calories on rest days

Continue to walk at break time and lunch as needed AND BEFORE WORK if possible

Modify, rest and respect the body!

Tonight's goal:
NOT EAT AFTER 10PM!
