Those folks who are interested must register first and then I can pull them into our team. It's just another way for us to be accountable in our exercise efforts. The beauty of this program is that you can do any kind of activity you like and they have a converter to figure the number of steps.  I would like to make it completely across the county in the eight weeks.  They are offering four bonus challenges too during the course of the event. And you get a little certificate at the end for completing the program. Go ahead and get signed up. They will send you a welcome packet if you are one of the first 40,000 participants, otherwise you can download the information from the web site.  Let's get everybody excited and signed up!

What is the WOMAN Challenge?

This May, thousands of women across the country will embark on an eight-week physical activity challenge for better health. They will be part of the WOMAN Challenge: Women and girls Out Moving Across the Nation.

To kick-off the ninth annual National Women's Health Week (May 11-17, 2008) the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health is coordinating the WOMAN Challenge. The free eight week WOMAN challenge encourages women and girls to set and achieve personal physical activity goals, appropriate for their lifestyles. The WOMAN Challenge begins on Mother's Day, May 11, and ends on July 5, 2008. Register at www.womenshealth.gov/woman.

How do I get in the room?

I have my carb addicts group on Mondays and if I am traveling for Corp, Thursday is get away day. Otherwise I can operate from a hotel room just as well as my home.  With more study I should be able to figure out how to set up a poll or something similar to the RSVP system on OH. Hopefully we will have something set up soon.

I think this is a great idea. Thursdays are good for me. If it's in the evening, just about any night would work for me. I do have a rotating schedule and have to work later every other week. But, I'm usually home by 7:30. Keep me posted!
