JoGo Challenge!
We are doing another JoGo Challenge.  Participation is optiona.  Joanne is our JoGo coordinator and she plans to post weekly updates.   Please post here or in your log when you get your "jogo" on.

JoGo description:  "the challenge is 30 days of 30+ minutes of anything that is mindfully active.  What do I mean by that?  It means that walking to the mailbox, like you do every day, does not count.  It has to be something that is off the couch (you can do something like yoga or walking even on a rest day) EVERY DAY!!!"  (This challege will be going on until roughly the end of June)

No fair adding stuff while I am making pretty colors on the Racing Manatees list!

Reposting this here from my blog. Mostly because I know you guys will yell at me if I falter. 

I'm also trying to be more comfortable with the body I have. I bought a pair of straight jeans yesterday; they feel really skinny to me though! Props to the woman at the jean store for inspiring my confidence. I'm wearing them today and actually feel pretty good about myself.

JOGO CHALLENGE UPDATE 5/22-5/30

Reading everyone's logs, I have to say this is one BAMF'ing group!!! 

The # is calculated by the start date that you provided or what I could tell from your logs. 

For the most part we are at 100% and I have to tell you how proud I am of you all!   I saw some interesting jogo's and I have to say kudos for the creativity!!  Mall walking, navigating parking lots, concrete hauling, fish tank cleaning, weed pulling, etc...  You tell me if it counts.   If you count it, I count it.   This is your challenge to make it what it is.  Please let me know if you are counting a 18 min or 26 min or rest as a jogo.  As I said, 30 minutes is arbitrary.  You tell me.  You count it. I count it. 

I am not at 100% because I am not counting a mani/ped as my jogo and that took my time last night.  I came home and collapsed on the couch with a glass of wine after that.  On that note, I am taking wine out of my challenge.   With all the crap of last weekend, I am hitting the bottle hard and enjoying this weekend!!!    

Melanie: how are you doing with no chocolate?    

Please let me know if there are any updates I need to make. 

UPDATE ON TRAINER:

Resolution with Lifetime Fitness: Fitness assessment, complete with metabolic testing and bloodwork, 12 training sessions with senior trainer, re-fitness assesment after 60 days.   

This works.

I'm counting my yoga/stretching day as a Jogo.  I did *something* that day. It wasn't much, but it was still more than I felt like doing.  Also, I'm counting my swim/walk day.  Mostly because I neither took the bus nor drove to the gym.

Small victories, right?

And I'm gonna give the challenge a whirl, even if it's just walking hills or something as I rehab my knee/back/neck/foot entire body.  And come on, walking to my mailbox takes me opening the front door fer goshsakes!!

I'm counting the small victories.    So, I have myself as 4/4 given my starting date.

Hear that JoGo!  You have another taker!
