Live Healthy Iowa

My current superintendent is interesting. First he had everyone join Twitter, with the usual mixed reviews. Then he dropped a bomb on the whole district students and staff alike. We are participating in the Live Healthy Iowa 10 Week Challenge. It's happening for all students and staff were highly recommended to create/join a team. I'd never even heard of this before, but apparently one of the reasons we are doing this is to get total participation for Sac County up. Last year we were in the bottom 50 somewhere. I think the couple hundred people we're bringing into this will have to help shoot Sac into the top 50 counties.

Early on I decided I should get involved with this, but I didn't know what building to team up with. In the end I went with one of the elementary buildings and got volunteered to the post of Team Captain along the way. My team seems to be a rag tag bunch, which is nice, most of them are building hoppers like me. I've named us The Ladies of (the) Wall Lake, I'm very lucky none or our guy teachers/staff wanted in.  I figure it's an appropriately literature based title for a librarian captained team.

Last Monday started the Challenge. I'm not sure how well my first week actually went, but I'm hoping for good results overall. Really, I'd just like to get out and move more. I'm not in this to lose a bunch of weight, but hopefully that will be a nice side affect from moving more!
