10K Steps A Day & Strength Training Challenge - Week 1 Winner

As per the details of the May Fitness Challenge, Friday is our check-in day each week. I post reminders on our Facebook and Google pages, personal profiles and in the weight loss support group for everyone to see. All participants have until Sunday afternoon to let us know how many steps they took each day and how many days of strength training completed (some posted snap shots of their app counters during the week - it was motivational and fun).

Since everyone is at different fitness levels, the winner is based on participation. This is actually a giveaway type contest. This week my youngest son helped select the Week 1 Challenge Winner. We had lot of fun and selected the gift recipient as follows:


1st week's 10k steps a day & strength training members are the 6 names here.


It was Mother's Day this Sunday, so my toddler helped folded up the names ...


We put all of the participant names in his favorite sun hat (his choice of course).


I shook the hat to mix up the names, and let my son selected the winner's name.


Here's a picture of him opening the paper with the winning name. He was serious :)


He selected JOAN W's name as the winner (holding it upside down - LOL).


*** As you can see, it is more like a "Giveaway" instead of a contest! Still fun!!! ***

Week 1 Winner - 10,000 Steps & Strength Training

Congrats to Joan W for being the winner for this week! WOO HOO!

She had the choice of a bottle of Skinny Fiber, bottle of Ageless Anti-Aging Serum or a gift card that she could use towards something to help in her fitness / weight loss journey. She chose to try the Ageless Anti-Aging Serum :)

One more thing ...

Two other awesome and ironic details I want to share is that Joan has been doing the 10,000 steps a day challenge since May 1st (Day 1) - AND -  was able to do her first 10k step day within 4.27 miles the 1st week. If you every try the 10k steps challenge, you will see that it's takes quite a bit of efforts especially when you are not used to doing it.

I love when people win at weight loss. Don't you?

Joan may not be where she wants to be yet, but she is sure working at it and getting results one small change at a time. Same with the other members of our weight loss support online group. They are all winners for participating and the changes they are making for weight loss, too.
