7 is the name of the game this week. Today, April 7th, is the start of 7 new challenges. (Of course you can start whenever you read this.)
I realize most of you are still working on challenge #1 and are sporting some beautiful hair do's.....yea for you....now there is more to do! :) I am trying to be a tad organized and always start the new challenges on Mondays. Organization does not come natural to me, so if I am even borderline to showing some organization skills, I had better run with it!
Now then, for you "hardcore" Ponytail Challengers; you need to do all 7 challenges every day for 7 days. Those "easing into the waters," just try and do 1 challenge each day.
Some of these are a bit silly, ridiculous even. The idea for this week's challenge is that you will have some fun, "let loose," start a good habit or two and maybe- just maybe- burn a few extra calories.
Here's to 7....now, go and do:
7 sit-ups & 7 jumping jacks, (if you're really challenging yourself: 7 sit-ups/jumping jacks, 7 different times each day).
pluck 7 hairs that are mysteriously growing where they shouldn't be.
1 somersault, (that 1 somersault is bound to hurt in at least 7 different ways).
drink 7 glasses of water, (I know the recommended amount is 8- baby steps people, baby steps).
say out loud, 7 times, (this is where the ridiculous part comes in), "I am superwoman!" (Besides, it will make you laugh, and anyone who hears you too- it's all about spreading the joy....)
read 7 pages of something enjoyable that you don't ever take the time to read.
wear an outfit with 7 components- dress up! This means more than jeans and a t-shirt. Underwear doesn't count. Accessories do. Example: shoes, pants, shirt, belt, necklace, ring, earrings.
Easy, right? Cheesy? Yes. Nerdy? Maybe- but are you surprised? Does nerdy really seem far fetched after reading my last post?
Have fun and I can't wait to hear what you think! Hmmmm, I am having a sudden craving for 7-up. I am not just saying that..... I really do think that would taste extremely good right now. The 7-up company is going to have to pay me some royalty fees if there is a sudden rush on 7-up this week.
Good luck "super women!"

really 7? how about if I think about doing everything on that list 7 times/day... :)
ReplyDeleteCamille- this is Natalie(Price) Taylor. So I'm loving this that you've got going on (The Ponytail challenge). I've been seeing your name all across the blog circut but just clicked on your name from Nicole's to find out who you actually were. Anyways I've so been feeling what you're describing. What a fun thing to start!
ReplyDeleteI will do it! It looks like a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteWell, I made it one day without a ponytail. My family does not like to find strands of my hair in thier dinner so "up, up my hair must go. Ponytail makin' i am a pro. Out of my face, out of my eyes and out of my home baked pumpkin pies. Now on to the 7 days of 7's. My 7 fat rolls on my tummy, that ate 7 chocolates that were yummy. Will try 7 situps for 7 days and wear 7 pajamas in 7 ways. tee hee.
ReplyDeleteI STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR BLOG AND THINK YOUR FREAKIN' HALARIOUS! I AM NOW GOING TO START YOUR 7 DAY CHALLENGES. I THIN KYOU ROCK FOR PUTTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS OUT THERE.
ReplyDeleteSomersault?? Really?? What about something different for those of us that are 8 months pregnant ;)
ReplyDeleteOk- pregnant women get a freebie on the somersault and sit-ups. I suggest a replacement task of ..... a nap! You are pregnant- you have the best excuse in the world to "take it easy" and "let it go" for a while! There is no guilt in that.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to challenge yourself, try and touch your toes 7 times, or get up off of a couch without the preggo sideways roll-, you know what I am talking about- or put on a pair of nylons just to see if you can do it! (You probably can't. :) Trust me, I tried.... just a few months ago.)
I'm in, of course!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting the 7 challenge and doubling up with the ponytail challenge which I started 2 days ago. This should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm in
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, I'm taking a break from packing my garage (we are getting ready to move), and I put on my Wonder-Woman t-shirt, and every time I walk past the mirror I smile at myself thinking, "I am wonder woman!".
ReplyDeleteAnd those jumping jacks are great exercise! I've been packing since the kids have been in bed, so it's been about 4 hours and every time the radio time says another hour has gone by, I stop and do jumping jacks (although, I do 25 of them because I need the exercise!).
I'm in! You really are superwoman for putting this together!
ReplyDeleteI am in too, (a little late, sorry)
ReplyDeleteOkay, So I started late with the first challenge and so am doing the first and second together. Let's just say my 2 yr. old thinks it is very funny to see his mom do somersault! It has been fun though! Thanks Camille!
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me over here!!! I did good with the pony tail challenge for the first 4 days then I sucked!! We'll see how this one goes, it sounds like fun. I just have to remember to "DO IT"
ReplyDeleteOkay I will do this but I can't perform all the tasks due to pregnancy. However, I have come up with my own interpretations of some of the challenges. Like 7 sit-ups. I will sit-up 7 times in one day. I will make it. After all, I am super woman!
ReplyDeleteI love it! How can I resist this one? You started it on my birthday! We've been in our new house for all of 2 weeks now and I'm starting to hit the "we're never going to be all the way moved in!" wall, so this is so great for me!
ReplyDeleteI just finished this a couple of days ago and it was lots of fun.... however I didn't do everything. The whole superwomen thing just didn't happen. But still I did pretty good.
