Challenge Help!

I'm participating in a fitness challenge at work and at the gym. We had to set a daily personal goal and mine was no alcohol and at least 8 glasses of water a day. I've met those challenges for the first half of the competition. Now they want us to keep the old goal and set a new goal. It can be food or exercise related. I don't drink soda. I only eat one relatively healthy treat a day. I exercise at least one hour a day. What would be a good or inventive personal daily challenge? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

There is some of us doing a push up challenge. Just started this week. Starting with 20 a day and heading to 100!

Maybe it is walking around the block a couple of times during lunch, or cutting back on coffee by a cup. It can be little or big. Just try to think of something in your life that you could/want to change for a healthier lifestyle. :-)

They have done studies that the people that get 8 hours of sleep are more likely to be successful at losing weight as well as maintaining a healthy weight. That could be a good goal. Or incorporating hot sauce or cayenne pepper at each meal. Not only will it help your metabolism, it is also heart healthy. Just a light sprinkle on a salad or side dish is all you need. Most of the time you won't even taste it.

SLEEP!? What's that?? The only nights that I get 8 hours is when I have been put in time out to stop myself from eating!! lol ;-}

Thanks for the ideas. I already get plenty of sleep and I don't drink coffee. I like the push up idea. I was thinking about doing something physical such as incorporating a different exercise for 10 minutes daily. Example: Monday- squats and lunges, Tuesday- push ups and pull ups, Wednesday- sit ups/core/hula hooping, Thursday- stairs, Friday- jumping jacks, jumping rope, and running in place, Saturday- sit ups/planks, Sunday- weights. This would be in addition to my current work out schedule. Any other ideas for daily activities?
