My husband and I are in our 3rd week of the challenge and are tied.  Well, I’m two points ahead but that’s because I’ve already done my workout today.  One perk of being a sahm some days!  I couldn’t drag myself out of bed early this morning so as soon as breakfast was done and the kids were dressed, in the stroller they went and Abby was leashed to it.  We walked for almost 45 mintues and now the pup is sleeping!  That NEVER happens in the morning.  Tomorrow I’m going to try to take the older dog as well.  Not sure how that will go since she isn’t nearly as cooperative on a leash, damn that Beagle nose.

The game- I really didn’t think it was going to do anything for me.  I just wanted to get my husband to start exercising.  Well, it has forced me to be consistant.  There is no way I’m going to lose! (the game)  We decided that since weekends are a bit crazy around here that we wouldn’t count any workouts for those two days, but we’ve both been working out anyway.  Sort of don’t have a choice with 2 dogs.  He doesn’t like to walk the older dog because he wants to jog and she can’t so I walk both dogs for 1.5-2 miles and then he takes the pup for another 1.5 miles or so.   We will probably do it for another 8 weeks when we finish this one. 

If anyone is competitive, this game is really good.  There have been days when I REALLY didn’t want to exercise, but did because I will not allow myself to lose.  It also helps that my daughter tells me it’s time for me to play the game when my son goes down for his nap.  Their website is www.fitnesschallenge.com if anyone wants more information.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.
