Challenge from December 9th to December 15th:
Limit your computer/TV/texting time to 30 minutes a day. (Not 30 minutes each. 30 minutes total.) This doesn't include time spent for business or school. It *does* include time spent on MFP.
Bonus challenge:
In addition to this challenge, continue last week's challenge of choosing healthy substitutes for unhealthy or less healthy foods.
NEW CHALLENGE:
Here's another option for this week:
Every day this week, pick an exercise or physical game you've never done before or haven't done in a long time, and do it. Some ideas: Twister, that exercise where you lean your back against a wall and look like you're sitting, weight lifting.
Any other ideas?

Oh geez, I am out. Wrong time of year for me to limit this! LOL! Also is the only way to communicate with my daughter in Texas and grand daughter in Colorado SO no can do I am OUT : (0

Ditto to what Be said....Can't do it now!! I am taking on too many challenges to be on for just 30 minutes, but I'll be here to cheer you all on!! RAW, RAW, SIS BOOM BAW!!! :laugh:0

Sorry - can't do that challenge - a lot of my research (whether art related or diet related) is computer based.
My own personal challenge for this week is to drink more water.0 -
I'll continue with last weeks challenge but doubtful I can do this weeks either. I might try but I have tons of Christmas shopping to do and a lot of it will be online. It's highly doubtful I can limit myself to 30 minutes daily. Maybe I'll be able to do it a couple of days though, we'll see. I like the idea though...............LOL0

I am out on this challenge too. I use the computer to communicate with family also. I also use the computer at work when it is slow so I don't fall asleep at work. So This challenge is way out for me.
Can I put in a request for a physical challenge next week?0 -
I see the "optional" sooo glad, I cannot do this challenge.0

What I got done on the 9th, not Internetting, texting, or watching TV:
- Wrote 10 Christmas letters (but didn't get them sent, blah)
- Spent two hours brainstorming for the novel I've been wanting to write forever
- Worked a 7-hour shift (altough, this would have happened anyway)0 -
The mini-challenges are never *everyone's* cup of tea, but I didn't realize this one would be no one's. So, here's another option for this week:

I have heard many talking about the Wii Zumba. It would be new to me. If I could get my Wii working! LOL! But maybe some haven't used it lately!
I will try this starting tomorrow! Gotta think about this. And not feeling up to exercising. I want to but keep feeling very lethargic, and feverish.0 -

Don't go too crazy Be.....Get well first!! :flowerforyou:0 -
There are a lot of specific exercise challenges:
Squat Challenge
Ab Challenge
Burpees Challenge
Plank Challenge
These are usually month long, but you could always change them to a week long to see how well you can do. Just a thought.0 -

That just goes to show you how "LIFE" has changed so much. We are so dependent on technology sometimes it scares me!! :noway:0
