🌎️Challenge #8 Saturday, November 25 - Friday, December 1🌎️
✈️DESTINATION - Copenhagen, Denmark 6,000 Miles - Team Spirit & Buffet Rules
The challenge begins on Saturday morning. Exercise & Team Spirit & Buffet Rules done before SATURDAY DOES NOT COUNT!!!!
Thanks to author Hans Christian Andersen, Copenhagen is the world capital of fairytales. And it’s consistently listed as one of the most livable and greenest cities in the world. It retains a disarmingly provincial, small-town atmosphere with gabled houses, narrow streets and delicate spires adding to its charm. The city center is all walking streets reserved for pedestrians. Locals know the fastest and most flexible way of seeing Copenhagen is on a bike, so you can bike to The Little Mermaid.
For art lovers, a great starting point is a visit to the Danish National Gallery where you can feast your eyes on the likes of Rembrandt, Picasso, and Matisse. For history buffs, the National museum offers exhibits relating to Danish history - Viking weapons, Inuit costumes and stone age tools.
But the real reason we are here is the enchanting much-loved Tivoli Gardens! The gardens have a combination of great landscaping and old-style theme park rides. Opened in 1843, the Gardens are one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. In the evening it’s awash with Christmas decorations and twinkling lights and made all the more wonderful by the dusting of snow over everything. 23,000 feet of fairy lights are hung and there are forests of Christmas trees, market stalls and a series of open-air concerts, including a hip-hop version of The Nutcracker.
Tivoli Gardens was the inspiration for Walt Disney's theme parks. Enjoy the collection of world themed cafés, restaurants, concert theatres, dancing, amusement rides and firework displays. What fun, The Hans Christian Andersen Castle serves as one of the entrances to the Gardens!

📝Living the Good Life - Team Spirit & Buffet Rules
Let's chat with with our teammates for support and to make new friends. we'll keep it simple, and focus on our teammates here. Find your team’s chat thread and participate. Make your chat a conversational/interactive communication, not a stark status update. Let your team know that you read their comments and that you are sharing your day with them too. If you are busy and don’t have time to read/catch up on all the chat since you last posted, that’s ok. But take a moment to post and let them know you are busy at the moment, but do let them know how you are doing. If your chat gets quite busy it’s ok to just read and respond to the last 3 posts.
Tips: If you are new to chatting you can share a funny story or joke, encourage a teammate, ask questions, share what you are doing for fun, your Non-Scale Victory (NSV), progress with your dietary or fitness goals, or post a nutritious recipe you made recently, information about MFP like how to update your profile, your plans for the weekend, or something you like about a teammate. You have up to an hour to edit your comment.
Keep in touch with your team till you join the Winter Team. On your team page here you will soon see a link to the 2024 Team. You can join if that was the team you were assigned to. Accept or send a friend request to your leader so they can send you MFP mail and invitations as it can only be shared amongst friends.
