🌎️Challenge #10 Saturday, March 9 - Friday, March 15🌎️
✈️DESTINATION - Paris, France 6,000 Miles - 10 Minutes Outside & No Random Eating
The challenge begins on Saturday morning. Exercise & 10 Minutes Outside & No Random Eating done before SATURDAY DOES NOT COUNT!!!!
The Olympic Games will be held July 26th to August 11th, 2024, the 3rd time the games have been played in Paris. 100 years after it last hosted, Paris the City of Lights is gearing up to welcome 10,000 athletes and 15,000,000 visitors. The games are advertised as the ‘greenest in history’ and the first to be fully aligned to meet the ‘Paris Climate Agreement’.
They will use as many existing and temporary structures as possible. The legendary Yves-du-Manoir Stadium was at the heart of the 1924 Paris Olympics Games and will be in use again. Famous landmarks will be transformed into Olympic venues. For instance, beach volleyball will be played in front of the Eiffel Tower and fencing at the Grand Palais. Break dancing will be introduced this year at Place de Concorde, Paris’ largest square. Only 3 new structures are needed – the media center, the aquatics center and athletes’ village. After the games 6,000 people will be able to live in the village.
The Opening Ceremony tickets will cost $2,900, and one billion people around the world are expected to view. For the first time in the history of the games, the ceremony will not take place in a stadium, but on Paris’ iconic Seine River, a place where swimming has been banned since the 1920’s. The athletes will float down the river on barges. Most importantly this polluted river has been cleaned up for this special event, with water so clean you can drink it, proof that the Olympics can help create a better world! It is so clean that the Paris mayor will take a plunge in July, and after the marathon swimming events, it will be open for everyone to enjoy. What an important legacy to the city! Sports such as football, handball and basketball will be held in major cities across France. The southern city of Marseille, on the French Riviera will host sailing events.
The surfing competition will staged at Teahupo'o a small coastal village, in the French overseas territory of Polynesia in the southern Pacific, breaking the record for the farthest medal competition to be staged outside the host city. The aim is to keep the event small scale so as to not impact the rural host village. The total number of people will be in the hundreds, not thousand. The important legacy here is to leave no lasting footprint.
The village does not want the environment, corals and other sea life, or culture impacted by the Olympics. Environmentalists, locals and surfers joined forces to leave NO footprint, so no new buildings or roads. 48 surfers will compete and they will stay on a nearby boat, and existing homes of locals will serve other Olympic housing needs. Judges will view the competition from the platform in the ocean.
Hopefully we can all watch these exciting events this summer from the comfort of our own homes while we walk on our treadmills, do chair exercises, etc.
📝Living the Good Life - Get Outside & No Random Eating
This week get outside for a bit of fresh air and activity, whether it’s on your balcony, backyard or even your local park, it all contributes to your overall health, in both body mind and soul.
What are benefits of being outside? It can:
• improve your mood.
• reduce feelings of stress or anger.
• help you take time out and feel more relaxed.
• aid emotional wellness.
• improve your physical health.
• improve your confidence and self-esteem.
• help you be more active.
• help you meet and get to know new people.
• connect you to your local community.
1. Boosted moods – considered by some to be a “natural antidepressant”, getting active outdoors and in the sun provides added mental health perks (particularly for those who may experience seasonal affective disorder).
2. Decreased stress levels – can provide a distraction from the stress and anxieties that life can throw at us, calms the autonomic nervous system (think fight or flight).
3. Provides daily dose of vitamin D – time outdoors lets us soak up some extra rays and naturally build our vitamin D stores.
4. Increases energy – fresh air is invigorating and refreshing while also helping ensure more restful sleeps.
Being active outdoors (even a little bit each day) can go a long way to keeping you happy and healthy. Remember, the next time you are feeling down, anxious or even tired, the best thing for you might just be a little time reconnecting with the great outdoors. If you can, consider adding in outdoor activity - a yoga session, stretching, a bike ride or a stroll through your neighbourhood.
A walk has been proven to boost problem-solving and creativity and improve your mood.
