WOW! It’s Work-Out Wednesday!
Wow, what can I say? Y’all have been working out like crazy! All together, we were active for 4,605 minutes last week. That’s so awesome!
The top-five Awesomely Active folks for this week are:
We, your humble moderators, reported the following Activity Minutes:
The fancy pie-chart breakdown of the week’s minutes is as follows.
Since January is just about over, I thought you might like to see what the competition is looking like for total minutes for the month. Current top-five contenders are:
The three of us have the following totals for January so far:
And here is the fancy pie chart of the breakdown of the whopping 11,703 minutes each and every one of us has spent being active since the beginning of 2008:
Now, on to the question of the week. In past weeks we’ve talked about what we’re all doing to increase our minute totals and what we hope to gain from the whole GaGA experience. This week, let’s discuss something really important — prizes!
Every month, the most active person will be getting an awesome prize. Anna, Deidra, and I were tossing around a few ideas as to what this Awesome Prize could be and we had some pretty awesome ideas.
Our favorite idea is to have an actual, real-life trophy that would be mailed to the winner each month. You, the winner, would keep and care for the trophy for the following month. You may decorate the trophy in some way and/or take pictures of the trophy’s adventures with you (trophy at the gym, trophy playing DDR … the possibilities are both endless and hilarious). Then you would be responsible for sending the trophy to the next month’s winner so that he/she may care for it, decorate it, and document its travels for the next month.
Now, this idea, awesome as it is, does require a certain amount of dedication and responsibility on your part. If you win, you would need to provide one of us with a mailing address. You would also need to commit to sending the trophy to the next winner (or back to one of us, who could then pass it along to the next winner) at the end of the month. This trophy would be relatively small and lightweight so that shipping costs would remain low. And, most importantly, you would need to post pictures of the Trophy’s Travels on your blog (or send us pictures to post if you don’t have a blog).
So, are you up to the task? Can you commit to giving the Trophy the love and care it needs, should you win? Or should we have a different prize altogether?
Let’s take a poll:
What should the official Get active. Get AWESOME! Awesome prize of Awesomeness be?
a. Traveling Trophy. We are committed to maintaining the awesomeness of this idea, and we will not let the trophy down.
b. An “I got active. I got AWESOME!” badge to proudly display on your blog.
c. A playlist of songs guaranteed to keep you active.
d. ___________ (Fill in the blank with some other totally awesome prize that we have yet to think of but you know would be perfect.)
Let us know how best to reward you for being so damn awesome, and keep up the good work!

What I've Been Reading
The trophy idea is AWESOME!!!! I love it! And I’m probably never going to win, so I am okay with this. LOL
I like the trophy idea, but I also like the playlist idea. I could also use a workout t-shirt with a picture of NPH on it! =)
Well, you already know how I feel about the trophy (and I wouldn’t even have the chance to win it)!
However, I think -R-’s t-shirt idea is freaking fabulous.
I like the trophy idea, but I also like the badge idea.
i have a small trophy here at work that i feel would be appropriate. it’s a little plastic golden man with a plaque thanking us for being good customers of the marriott. i think it’s perfect as a yellow sticky note fits perfectly over the nameplate so it’d be easy to cover up. plus it’s small and lightweight.
if we decide to do a playlist i can donate mp3s.
if you want my trophy though, i have to get it back from dave (we gave it to him because he was superstar of the week back in august) so it’s conditional upon dave rescinding his superstar of the week status.
stupidass wordpress, this is NOT A DUPLICATE COMMENT, I HAVE NOT ALREADY SAID THIS, YOU AND YOUR MOM CAN GO FISHING IN A BUCKET.

er, i guess that was a duplicate comment. I RULE!
but i’m in 3rd for the challenge! go me!
Traveling trophy! Traveling trophy!
Although I do love the NPH work out shirt.
Well I will never win, but the trophy idea is awesome! But so is a badge. And so is a playlist!
hmmm, I’m not much help…
I wish I would have signed up cause I’ve been working out like crazy! : ) I just wanted to say good job to everyone!
Ben must be piiiiiiissed.
So many pie charts! Shades of math classes I hated!
[...] Last week we discussed potential prizes for the month’s winner(s). With your help, the three of us have come to an agreement on what the prize(s) will be. Trust me, it’s going to be Awesome. I’m going to keep the decision a secret for now, but all will be revealed next week: prize(s), winner(s), and some other awesome stuff too. [...]
