Weekly Update #3

Katie has continued on her journey to success this week by getting her heart rate up in a 45 minute spin class on Sunday, 4 mile run on Monday, 6 mile treadmill run on Wednesday and a BIG 15 mile run on Saturday. On an exciting note, Katie finally fit into a pair of black work pants that she has not been able to wear for almost 3 years; an added benefit of taking on this health challenge.  Her new goal for Week #4 is to drink TEN 8oz glasses of water a day.

Adam GQ Momper has continued to climb the stairwell to a healthier life style by pumping iron and sweating profusely in the gym this week. While Adam's job at UC Health University Hospital demands a lot of time, he has found that even just 30 minutes of cardio/lifting weights at the end of the day can make the world of difference. As a young pragmatic professional, Adam demonstrates that it is possible to balance a heavy workload and a healthy life style simultaneously. To recap his progress, he started his journey by indulging into unhealthy snacks and meals. Week #2 he invested in a weight watchers scale weigh his "meat" and become more proportioned. Now in week #3 he has learned the importance of taking care of your mind, body and soul.

William unfortunately had a few setbacks this week due to other obligations, however he values the principle of the mind, body and spirit. After several days of stress and fatigue, he decided that a yoga mat and organic yoga pants would be a great investment. Not only is he concerned with his own well being, but the well being of mother earth. Bill is not only going VIBRANT, he is also going GREEN. "  As a result of Bill's "down week", he dreamt he was skipping backwards for 6.3 miles.  No worries Bill, this week you will certainly move forward!  Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded"  -Goethe

Last but certainly not least is Lyndse's progress; suffice to say she more than carried the weight of our team this week. Lyndse ran an astonishing 50 miles, that's right folks, a five with a zero behind it!  In addition to all those miles on foot, she completed an additional 30 miles on the bike.  But there's more!  Although Lyndse understands the importance of cardiovascular exercises and cross-training, she also values strength training and sacrificed her personal time to life weights 3 times this week; she refers to this as the icing on the cake.  With Lyndse's intense focus, I suspect we may have a Boston qualifier on our hands!

Here we go PYP's!  Best of luck to you as we forge ahead into week 4 of our challenge!
