ATKINSNATION Celebration Challenge ~ Award Winners

[jimmie 48]

WHAT A GREAT CHALLENGE! Once a year, on National Atkins Diet Day, we celebrate by helping poor old ATKINSNATION meet the goal that was set in a challenge. This year, ATKINSNATION set a goal of 2500 minutes in a 1 day challenge. WHY DOES ATKINSNATION DO THIS????? There is no way those kind of minutes can be done................
Unless you have help. The kind of help that can be unselfishly and willingly given by members of this board.

So Challengers joined up and donated minutes of movement. Some got their friends to join in, some were not as healthy as they would like to be but got moving to help out, some used their work hours and some used play time. But all minutes donated were used exclusively for this challenge and no other.

ATKINSNATION has provided an award for those challengers who make goal. Make goal? THE CHALLENGERS BUSTED THAT GOAL OF 2500 MINUTES AND LOGGED A WHOPPING 3338 MINUTES!!!!

Im still stunned from that 25 mile bike ride imagood1 did! I couldnt manage 25 feet lol!!

Everyone really pulled out all the stops - a big well done to those also with illness and conditions that makes it hard to exercise!!
AND BIG KISS to Jimmie for taking the HUGE task on!!! Low Carb Beer on its way (if youve passed that rung lol).

Heres to next year xxx
