✈️DESTINATION - Amsterdam, Netherlands 6,000 Miles - Healthy Snack & Set Bedtime
The challenge begins on Saturday morning. Exercise & Healthy Snack & Set Bedtime done before SATURDAY DOES NOT COUNT!!!!
The Amsterdam Olympic Stadium was built for the 1928 Olympic Games. It then became a multi-function venue, hosting various sports events, national and international football matches and cultural events. It slipped into gradual decay and in the 1980s the stadium was scheduled for demolition. But with strong support the Stadium became a national monument and underwent a major renovation. It has become a financially viable entity hosting festivals, exhibitions, concerts, athletic clubs, elite World and European championships, and renting space to 30 business entities.
Of interest, the blue parking symbol was introduced during the Olympics here in 1928. The city was challenged with a very new problem. Where to park all the cars? Special parking lots were designated with the blue signs and a “P” inside a circle. Permits for game officials were issued and also featured the shape of blue panels with a white capital “P” in the middle. It has since become the international traffic sign for parking.
Volunteers conduct Olympic legacy tours for visitors and school children. They tell the stories of outstanding champions, the Olympic culture and values, how Coca-Cola was introduced to Europe here, how the stadium was first to introduce the idea of the Olympic Flame, and how women were first allowed to participate in the Games in 1928 in Amsterdam. 100 years later the games here are still quite meaningful.
This year will be the 48th edition of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon, run from here. All participants start and finish in this historic Olympic Stadium. It attracts top athletes from all over the world and is ranked as one of the best marathons in the world.
Race - You must exercise to earn air miles to get your team to the destination.
1 minute of exercise = 1 air mile. DAILY MAXIMUM 120 exercise minutes/air miles.
📝Living the Good Life - Healthy Snack & Set Bedtime
For many of us snacks are a normal part of our daily eating patterns. It can be a smart way to keep hunger at bay throughout the day, so we don’t overeat at mealtimes. The key to snacking is the right foods, in the right amounts, at the right times, and in the right places.
It is important to develop healthy habits when it comes to snacking. Some of us snack in the car, in front of the TV, or on the phone, or while we work, and even in bed. Snacking can become so automatic that our brains barely register the hand-to-mouth motion, and we ignore the quantity and quality of food we are consuming.
The University of North Carolina found that many of us eat nearly 600 calories a day, roughly a third of our food in snacks rather than meals. When you snack, you have to consider your total daily calorie limit and then distribute the calories to include your snacks; and to stay within your calorie goals or you will be over in your daily calories. Prepare snacks in advance so you can choose healthy pre-measured calorie appropriate foods. It's important to be aware of how many times a day you are eating in between meals and if you are truly hungry. Cutting back on snacks will make a difference on the scale.
“Snacking” is different than “grazing.” Snacking is intentional and planned, while grazing is unintentional and unplanned.
