Ring Challenge - Update

Remember the right challenge I had posted last week ? I am happy to confess, I am continuing to close ALL rings for the past 10 days !! Yay !!! That is such an encouraging thought and a milestone in itself ... so far I have never been able to close ALL 3 rings in a single day and now I have achieved this feat for the past 10 days ... I am beyond thrilled.

Keeping my fingers crossed so I can continue with this achievement for many many more days ... hopefully it becomes a habit :)

Ring Challenge

I have embarked on my first ever "Health" related challenge. It is called "Close your Ring" challenge. The point is to close all 3 rings (Move (Red), Exercise (Green) and Stand (blue)) rings on the Apple Watch for the next month. This Closed rings are to be achieved atleast 5-6 times a week. Hubby and I are competing to get the rings closed.
 Yesterday was Day 1 and I was able to close the Green and Red rings. The Blue one was stuck at 75% :( Husband was able to close all 3 rings. Today morning I was talking to my manager and happened to tell her that the blue ring is hard to achieve. She gave me quick tip ... "Move your feet" atleast few mins every hour. You should be able to close it. Yesterday I kept standing almost the entire afternoon working on my raised workstation. Apparently that is not enough .... I need to move around to have my stand ring to account for it.

Well now that I have extra information, I am all geared up to conquer the Blue ring today. I have already completed Green ... red is almost there... and it is only 9:30am. I am hoping I am able to close the Blue one today ...
  

Snow tubing

We went snow tubing the first day of this year ... yep ... on 01/01/12 !!

Funny how learnt about this ... daughter had a playdate with her friend. The friend's mother casually asked if she could borrow daughter's snow suit. I asked her if they were going skiing and she mentioned about this farm ... not too far from home, where they had arranged for snow tubing using artificial snow.

This year, Lake Tahoe has not had as much snow and we had cancelled our annual ski trip. But this farm sounded like a good alternative. The only problem was that we were going there on the last day before closure and we were invited for lunch at the friend's place on the same day. Determined to go there, we booked the tickets online for 5pm ... managed lunch and left home around 3:15pm. Luckily the traffic was not bad and reached the farm well on time. The girls also got to enjoy some hay stacks / climb up tire stacks before tubing.

The tubing gates opened on time and we managed to go down the slide to our heart's content. We were back to our area by 7:45pm and headed straight to Sitar Express... a quaint Indian restaurant. Packed food. .. went home .. showered and enjoyed a lovely dinner. (must add rich ... because we ate Paneer tikka masala and Shahi panner and Naan for dinner)

The first day of the year was well spent.
