Challenge: 52-52-52

52 weeks. 52 books. 52 pounds.

The goal of the challenge is simple. It will go from June 1st, 2011 to June 1st, 2012 – 52 weeks. In those 52 weeks, challenge participants will try to 1) read one book each week and 2) lose one pound a week. If all goes well, a year’s challenge will lead to 52 books read and 52 pounds lost in 52 weeks. It’s that simple!

This challenge is being hosted at The Zen Leaf. The main challenge page is here.

This challenge is now being hosted at Mandaland with a link in the sidebar.

I do belong to another 52 books in 52 weeks challenge and have already failed because I missed a couple of weeks but this one doesn't start until next month and I can concentrate on the health part each week as well as the number of books read. I love that challenges can overlap and that this 52 in 52 adds the health challenge.

Side note: haven't failed, she just wants us to read 52 books this year.

There are five important notes about the challenge on the main post plus letting us know that while she won't tell us how to lose the weight, she recommends SparkPeople (so do I). I hope she gets a team going.


Current six weeks here then move to another post with notes.

Reading Challenge - oops, FITNESS Challenge

I so need this one and I love how Ellie has it set up. This is a year-long challenge so head to the Sign-up post to check out all the details then join us.

Now to figure out how I want to update.....new page weekly, monthly, update here.....

365 - Sundays /400 miles = less than 1 mile a day!

What counts:

mile for mile-walking/jogging/running outside or inside on a treadmill, biking outside or inside on a recumbent, spin or stationary bike. WATP Mile DVD's: 1 mile walk, 2 mile walk etc.

15 min. equals 1 mile-

cardio, step aerobics, swimming, weight lifting, workout videos, exercise classes

Minutes and miles can roll over:

If you only walk for 3/4 mile, or exercise for 10 minutes, you can add those minutes/minutes to the next day.

Want to join me and get fit in 2011? We can do it!!

UPDATE: Shanae at Triumph and Tears is our new host!


May: I have been working out, just wish I would do it more often and remember to tell you about it :( I've added the challenge button to link back here, maybe it will be a reminder?
