Week 3 Totals - August 29 - September 5 UPDATED!!!

UPDATE: Got numbers for Tyson. Susie let me know that they won't be able to participate...guess I understand with the little ones to keep up with. Also got totals from Susan H and Stanley. Stanley is working on getting those other Kahler's to participate yet and do a similar challenge in Denver! So...as of now...the dishwasher are Mom, Bob and Vanessa...however, I need to get new numbers from Mom so she may be out of that group soon!

Original post:
Here are the stats for this past week. You know it takes 21 days to make a change. So this means that we are all well on our way to making exercise a daily habit! Keep it up! Mom and Dad have gotten some minutes in and Dad is going to be some real competition. Mom is doing good too with her bike riding and walking with Dad. I know I need to kick up the strength part so will once again aim to do that.

As of this 3rd week looks like our dishwashers are ***drum roll*** Bob, Tyson and Mom. But, all that can change quickly so keep exercising! :)

Week 2 Totals - August 23 - 29

Well, the competition is heating up. We still have some people (mom and dad and Brad and Susie and Stanley) that need to turn in their minutes. It is not too late...get them to me soon.
The first number is the total minutes for this week (W) the next number is the overall total(O) so far. In ( ) is the strength minutes for this week (SW) and then the overall strength total (ST) but they are included in W and O totals. Hope that isn't too confusing. Remember the goal is to aim to get at least 3000 cardio minutes and 1500 strength minutes too.

Fitness Challenge

Beginning Sunday, August 16, 2009 - We will begin a healthy family competition of sorts. Goal is to aim to exercise daily and include some strength or resistance type of exercises as well each week. Our deadline date is December 19. After that we will all be converging to ND for Christmas. At this time the deal is...the 3 people with the LEAST number of exercise minutes will have to do the dishes for the Christmas meal.

Send me your weekly totals by Sunday night of each week and I will post a running tally on this blog site.

Happy exercising! :)

DARE

On Monday, December 8, Ian graduated from DARE. This is an anti-drug program offered by the Shawnee Police Department at Midland. Here he is with the Officer who worked with them and below is the 5th & 6th grade class with the Officer. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the Shawnee Police Department won't be offering this course next year...unless the economy changes. Anyway, it was fun and Ian enjoyed the class.

NBA Dog

Our Jack Russell, Abby Jo, loves the basketball, she just is a nut when we get that out. Here is a video clip of her. If she could maintain balance on two legs she'd catch the ball, no matter how many times we throw it through the hoop she is always right there when it comes down..always in just the right spot. Anyway, no amazing trick but interesting to us!

Baptism

Sabbath, September 13, was a special day for Ian. He has been preparing for baptism and finally the day was here. Our little church was full. Pastor Robb came to perform his baptism which made it so special. It was a great service and the Pathfinders came in uniform and then all stood and saluted when Ian was baptized. It was very neat. After Ian came up out of the water, he looked out at the congregation and saw the Pathfinders and then he saluted back to them! It was so sweet! Later that night the Pathfinder Induction (or abduction, as Ian calls it...altho' he knows the difference!) was at the Lee's Summit church so Ian got dressed in his full uniform so am attaching some pics of that as well.
