In our sixth week of this Fitbit Challenge, we want to let you know how grateful we are to each of you for sharing part of your movement journey with us! Collectively we’ve made it to the west coast and headed north into Seattle, where it happens to be 49 degrees and sunny today (LOL), but we know our Challenge crew is creative (look at the team names below) and won’t let a little cold weather stop you from chasing your goals! Some of us have slowed up, perhaps relaxing with a coffee, and others seem to be scaling Mount Hood. Whatever your pace, remember that consistently doing your very best to move is what we’re after in this initial Challenge!

Not a good week of walking for us. Doctor appointments, nerves and lousy weather have hurt our steps. But way to go Jennifer. Great job!
Bad walking week for me.
Congratulations, Jennifer!
I was busy last week with many non walking tasks. In addition I have picked up my knitting needles again. Hopefully I can be more active this week.
Wow Jennifer. Way to step it up.
Nice work jen. I had a sick teammate this week
Something I did to help another was adopt a student last year during the holidays. He had food insecurities and had no family to spend with for the holidays. Part of my sororities creed is giving graciously of what is mine and I really wanted to stand by my vows I took. He is a nursing student and was in the newspaper for his volunteer work and I’m very proud of him. He is now paying it forward
Shelly is there any good articles out there on cholesterol. I see a lot for diabetes, my family has this as an issue
Once I provided the 12 days of Christmas to an elderly person in the form of a daily gift delivered anonymously. They was told that they were so surprised and excited by the gifts.
Woops! That should read I was told that they were so surprised and excited by the gifts.
Way to go Jennifer V.! I love the 12 days of Christmas for the elderly person Teresa!
I have committed to volunteering with several organizations this year. (Rotary Club, James Isaac House, Police Providing Presents) who are making the holidays brighter for others.
I let an elderly lady share my cart to put her items in at checkout at Walmart. I then helped her out to her car with her groceries.
Great stepping Jennifer!
I have received a surprise dinner or dessert after surgery. Was very grateful. I enjoy fixing food & dessert for others under the weather.
Great job Jennifer! I love the idea to pick a elderly person for 12 days and just shower them with gifts
Great Job everyone!
