Hi! We want to do an exercise map challenge. WE NEED MORE PARTICIPANTS OR THOSE OF US DOING IT ARE GOING TO TAKE 4 YEARS TO GET TO EACH OTHER!

Here's what I need from you guys....

1. drop me a line to ms_wings77@comcast.net and tell me where you live. If you don't want to tell me where you live, name a town in the general area. For example, if I thought there was a possibility there was a serial axe murderer among you I'd say I live in Grand Detour, which is near where I live, but I actually live in Dixon. That way when it's my turn to hostess I could tell you about the area and still be honest.

Pretty easy huh? I promise not to sell any information to telemarketer's. Cross my heart!

2. We'll have the exercise post as usual, but I will be tallying minutes exercised each week. Each exercise minute equals one "mile" as we make our way from house to house of participants. When we arrive at a place the hostess tells us about herself, her family, her area, interesting tidbits, historical info- whatever she wants, etc. I'll even go first if you want! THIS IS FUN! TRUST ME!

But so far only a couple of people have wanted to hostess. (insert collective gasp) Share the love, people! You know you want cyber-visitors! You don't even have to dust!

Hope to hear from you guys soon- those who've already sent me the emails- GOOD JOB!

This challenge begins Monday, April 12th. We will start in Dixon, IL, (so I can show you how truly painless this is) and get moving!

Hugs to all!

hey! just a suggestion, what do you think. we have a LOT of miles to cover! on another board where they did a similar thing, they let you have 10 miles for posting your results for the day, 20 miles for sticking to your individual food plan (it was an all or nothing deal and you had to be honest), and 20 miles for drinking 8 glasses of water.

if we did this we could

1) keep the miles as they are

or

2) adjust them to fit in with our own "tour"

Hey this works for me, but I don't want to make it too easy! Let me get a tally on total miles so far, and see if the participants want to vote on it

as it is, not counting jenfir yet (come on, Chick! WHERE IN CANADA!?) we have an average of just over 8 1/2 hrs worth of mins per participant to cover. i think we don't need any breaks.... What do you guys think?
