Wellness Wednesday - Challenge Check-in

(MR) So it's been a week since I started my October challenges.  Thought I'd let do a little update on how it's going.

The Ultimate Blogging Challenge has been a lot of fun.  I've been posting every day and connecting with other bloggers too.

The health and fitness challenges are going great too!

• 10 minutes of "me time" - this one was pretty easy for me.  I've altered it slightly to become 10 minutes of devotional/Bible time.  It's a great way to keep on track in that area of my life.
• 8 Glasses of Water a Day - I'm finding this one pretty easy.  Mostly because I have this large cup with a straw.  This helps me to drink more, drink faster, and not worry about the cold water bothering my sensitive teeth. 
• 20 minutes of physical activity - a little trickier.  Usually it ends up being playing/raking with the kids - not an actual workout or anything.
• Fruits & Veggies - 5 servings:  This one is also a little tough, but I've found that if I start early enough in the day, it can work.  It also fills me up so I'm not as tempted to snack on junk!
• Pushups:  I'm up to 35 a day, in 2-3 chunks.  I can do 15 real ones at a time - I'm really proud of myself. 
• Squats: 35 also, and they're going fine.  120 will be a lot, but for now, it's pretty easy.

It's also been great doing this challenge with others.  There are some teachers, some Facebook friends, and some through email - all doing the same, and all keeping me on track!  Not to mention anyone who is reading this - thanks!

Are you challenging yourself with anything?  The best way is to do it with someone else!  You can do it!
