Make it Happen Monday: MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge

Two weeks ago I challenged you all to take part in the MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge and told you what I was personally committing to for this event. I’m back again to see if you accepted this challenge and how you’re making out.

I committed to getting out there with my Family and cycling, running, or walking with them at least 15 times over 30 days.  It’s been a blast.  Not only are we all getting more active and giving our hearts a workout….we’re also having some fun times together.

I’ve been keeping up with my usual training on the bike, but this “bonus” time has been so rewarding, all the way around.

If you took the challenge, please be sure to let me know how you and your body have made out over these past two weeks and what you have planned for the remainder of the 30 days.

If you didn’t yet accept the challenge….there’s still time.  Even if it’s only 5 more minutes a day, will you commit to the MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge?  What extra step will you take to stay fit?

If you need a little more incentive, there’s also a chance to win $750 if you complete these two steps:

1.Share the challenge with your friends.
2.Tell us that you’ve invited your friends to join the challenge AND share the extra step you’ll take to stay fit below.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Quaker Oats Company. The opinions and text are all mine. Official Sweepstakes Rules.

Enjoy Your Ride

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
