Congratulations to all of us for completing the challenge! It was a busy 9 weeks filled with daily exercise, devotional reading, serving others, enriching our homes and spending time with family members. We also tackled our finances, made to-do lists, spent time doing family history, meditated, prepared for the unexpected, and challenged our brains doing puzzles! What an enriching 9 weeks!

Wahoo!! Way to go Erin & Cindy!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the final winners, Erin overall and Erin and Cindy in each category!! Had I known that the final prize money would be that BIG I would have tried much harder. With all that money, where are you "winners" taking the rest of us (financial) "losers" for dinner??
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I was still a winner, though not monetarily. I am a better me because of this challenge. My challenge now is to keep it going. Some of you may have that same challenge, so how do we keep it going? Love to all. Ed (still known as Mr. UNKNOWN).
P.S. The time stamp on this is only three hours off since it is now 10:20 am. Ed.
DeleteCongratulations, Erin and Cindy! You are both very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteEd-- you didn't know about the money? The amounts were in the first blog post!
I looked and it didn't say that you would win $100.00 or $50 for each category just said they would win. I too didn't realize the prize was so much (but knew I couldn't win since I started late). That is awesome, definitely would motivated me more though to know that kind of money was at stake :)
DeleteJamie, you are right. I apologize. Although we talked of prize money in the beginning, we mentioned the exact amount in an email to everyone after week 3, where we encouraged everyone to keep staying motivated after Team week. That email mentioned the winning prize would be $80-100 for the winner. Since it was our first time managing the funds, we were not sure how much we would have--especially after Perfect Week, where everyone who met the goal would get a monetary reward.
DeleteNow that we have one challenge under our belts, we can be more specific next time.
Congrats to Erin! And Cindy! And, great job to everyone else- it was so neat to participate in this with ll of you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Erin and Cindy!!So proud of you for being so consistent.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your support and motivating me to be a little better than I was 9 weeks ago. You have all exhibited the love of our Savior and I have felt it. Can you get an extra point for that!? :-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously...let's do it again next April 1st. Maybe we can take turns with the admin side.
Take care
Cindy
Next April sounds good to me! It'll take me that long to prepare to compete against you again! :-)
