WAY TO GO!!

Congratulations ladies!

You all did a GREAT job in the 5k! It was wonderful to see such a big turn out and that everyone had somebody at their skill level to buddy up with. Keep up the good work.

We Need Some Comments

Alright ladies, let's hear how it's going. Any one know of any exercise groups that have been started or need a work out buddy? Any success stories this last week?

I had a day where I achieved maximum daily miles! Woo hoo! and I would love to have someone to walk with around 7:00 am any takers?

Do You Want to Help?

Coming in May we are planning a 5k walk/run/relay. We want everyone to participate. We are working on a training schedule for anyone who needs one. Also if you feel you can only come as support, we need that too. Participation in this activity will get bonus miles!

Share Your Thoughts

One of the things that this blog is really suppose to accomplish is to give all of you a place to share what's going on in your journey.

Are you really struggling? Share. Did you have a great day/week? Please share. Need a workout buddy? Ask here. Have a light bulb moment? We'd love to hear it.

Every week we will have a Share Your Thoughts post. Click on the comments and leave yours. If you don't have an account, you can post under anonymous, but leave your name in your comment.

For example here is a thought this week from Sis. Windy Cook:

I just barely last week cut out the sugar! I know, that is why we are following Sonya and not me, lol. I am feeling good about it though. My scripture study has become more meaningful as I have focused on that as well. There are so many things I could do better, but I am just taking a step at a time on my own journey and as a conquer one dragon in my closet, I can move on to the next. I am pretty sure I am bringing up the rear! Love you all!!!

So how's it going for you?

March Opportunity Challenge

The Opportunity Challenge for this month is to do something to increase Temple participation.

-If you go every now and then, that could mean to make sure that you go this month.

-If you don't have a temple recommend, then your goal could be to work on getting one.

-If you are a regular temple goer, then consider babysitting for someone else so that she can go.

No matter what your temple goal is, it is worth a 15 bonus mile if you increase what you have been doing normally.

The Trek/Fit-It-In Challenge

If you are here, then you probably already know about our new RS Fit-It-In Challenge, but here is an overview anyway!

The Relief Society Presidency is "walking" from Salt Lake to Nauvoo and invites each member to join them.

Our Wagons set off on Jan. 4 and we will get there Aug. 2, 2011

There are lots of ways that you can earn "miles":

Exercise Guidelines, Health Guidelines, Spiritual Guidelines, Personal Goals. And you can also earn extra miles every month by completing our ward challenge for that month, or for doing compassionate service, attending RS activities, etc.

For the entire program, or for your miles tracking chart please leave a comment to this post or contact Windy Cook in the ward. And remember it's never to late to start, we do accept converts along the way.

Now that the explanations for the program have been done, let's discuss this blog. This is where we come to help each other along the trail. Are you having a bad week? Come here. Do you need ideas for goals? Come here. Do you want to know if there is anyone who will work out with you? Come here and find out. Have a really good week and need somewhere to brag?COME HERE!

Every week we will discuss different things, share success stories, list "groups" that have started, have motivational quotes and answer questions. We want EVERYONE to succeed on our journey, and supporting each other along the way is the way to accomplish that.

So let's get started. Wagons Ho!
