Well, I woke up this morning with nothing in mind but finding a suitable challenge. This task has become harder than I imagined. My day started with google searches of challenge, self challenge, physical challenge and numerous other synonyms for any kind of result. A majority of what was found was self-help websites ... not exactly what I had in mind.
So, my findings for the day including nothing but physical challenges. These challenges range from your basic physical fitness tests to strange group party games. One challenge was called Bag Bite. Things you need to play Bag Bite are: a paper bag from the grocery store and a pair of scissors. Keep the dirty thoughts to yourself... (if you were not thinking about it before you are now). Anyways, onto the challenge. Place the bag standing up on the floor; the only way you can pick the bag up is with your mouth (hence - bag bite). The actual challenge is to cut off 2 inches of the bag every time you pick it up. The kicker is that the only part of your body allowed to touch the ground is your feet. If anything else touches it does not count. I have yet to try this one because I do not have scissors. Just kidding we have scissors, just no paper bags. When I do this challenge I will be sure to post about the height of the final bag. If anyone actually reads this blog besides the wonderful Kate Sweeten ( http://wesleyandkate.blogspot.com ) try it out and let me know your result.
Still in an effort to find the right challenge I ran across an oldie but a goodie. I am not sure how schools are in the south but I remember middle school Physical Education at East Tipp. Once a year we had to compete in The President's Challenge. Being a little tweeb back in the day I never did very well at the test. I signed up on their website to join the advanced adult president challenge. They judge different activities for length and intensity of the activity. Points are assigned by some equation. Depending on your activity level of a six week period you can earn a bronze, silver, or gold medal. If you think I am not going for the gold your are sorely mistaken. After one regular work day with workout following I have already made it 5% of the way to the Bronze Medal. This will be easy. Que Hulk Hogan's entrance music, I am a Real American!
Finally Kate, I will try your Cleanse reluctantly. I am not sure how far I can go but it is worth a shot.
Keep the Challenges coming...

someone beth works with said it would be funny if you picked random things from work and talked about how you have used them for reasons other then what they were intended for or ideas people would think would be funny to try.
