Checking out his territory. He can't wait for a yard of his very own. :o)

Game on!

Have you heard of this book? Basically, it's a healthy lifestyle challenge/game. I am currently a week and a half in (out of four weeks) with three of my friends, and it has sort of changed my life. There are teams, and each member earns up to 100 points per day for various items (getting 7 hours of sleep, drinking 100 oz. of water, exercising 20 minutes, eating 5 "sanctioned" meals, eliminating a bad habit, starting a healthy habit, and communicating with team players). Scores are averaged each week and the winning team gets whatever prize you decide on (spa pedicures in our case). I am notoriously lazy about working out and can rationalize not going, but I am also incredibly competitive--so this is a great way for me to get healthy. I've lost 5 pounds so far and am hoping for much more!

Sidenote: my team won week 1!!
