Couch Potato Quiz


As you know I have a two and a half year old son. In his summer learning book, I found this quiz! Take a minute to take it today.

1) Name three things each day that get you moving.

2) Name three things your do each week that would be considered good exercise.

3) How many hours do you spend each week playing outside or exercising?

4) How much TV do you watch each day?

5) How much time do you spend playing video games or on the computer?

If the amount of time you spend on 4 & 5 is greater than the time spent on 1 - 3, you are headed for a spuds life!

Give yourself a shout out if you are NOT HEADED FOR SPUDS LIFE!

Anyone want a copy of the Activity Pyramid from this book? It is like the food pyramide but breaks down activity into groups. The top of the pyramid, which is similar to sweets, is the activities to cut down ie, TV time, video or computer games, and sitting for more than 30 minutes!

56 down 4 to GO!!

Our competition wraps up this week we hope you all are ready. It's Sunday that gives you 4 more days to make your final stride towards the finish line. What ever you do don't give up, you've come too far now to fall backwards. So for 4 more days give it everything you have, eat the healthiest you have the entire time, and work out the hardest.

Ask!!!!!

Eating out and sticking to a diet is another challenge. NEVER be embarrased to ask how the food is prepared. NEVER be embarassed to ask them to prepare your meal differently. Trust me, they are use to it! Furthermore, it is a lot easier for the cook to prepare steamed veggies instead of one cooked in lots of butter and even easier to prepare a plain piece of chicken. Don't worry about what your friends or family will think either. Most likely they will be impressed with you healthy lifestyle and dedication.

Have a wonderful day! The sun will be shining!!!
