I'm not one to engage in any political debate, with anybody. So my blog entry today will be strictly about water bottles instead. Hopefully a nice change for some of you :-)
Fitlinxx is a system that the YMCA uses to track all physical activity. Members of the Y sign up for an account and can log their progress each time they work out; whether it be a yoga class, kickboxing class, a long run outdoors, roller blading, lifting weights, swimming....you get the idea.
Our YMCA has award levels for their fitlinxx members. (for more info go to: http://www.fitlinxx.com/brand/about_fitlinxx.htm) I've been dilligently recording my cardio mileage, calories and time. I have done a few groups classes (yoga, kickboxing and sets and reps) which I have tracked, but I haven't really recorded my weight lifting. I use free weights and it's such a process to go through all the exercises listed in their program just to record the movements I do. So instead I just focused on recording my cardio. In June I reached the first level: 15, 000 points. Little did I know there was no reward for that level. Total bummer.
Then yesterday as I was logging my 2 mile run, my fitlinxx screen started flashing at me and announced I made the 30, 000 level! My reward? This water bottle! Not a huge deal, but SOMETHING at least! So this is my reward......
I'm shooting for a T-shirt. Wish me luck!

That's awesome....more than I get for my workouts. lol! Good luck getting to the t-shirt!!
hooray!! I'm 2/3 of the way between no prize and water bottle, so I'm chasing your heels, sister!
BTW thanks for an *awesome* Canadian Thanksgiving, yo! :)
I love your water bottle. I'm thinking the reward after the T-shirt should be a Snickers Ice Cream Sunday served over a hot brownie, and a Diet Coke.
Deb, I like the way you think! (brownie, no nuts though)
