Stress Busters!
Mood:  chillin'
We all get stressed in our daily lives.  How do you handle your stress?  Do you take an active roll in working with your stress or do you try to control your stress with your mind by telling yourself to calm down?  We might benefit by hearing of some new ways to work with our stress.

Rules of the Challenge

Every good challenge has rules and... incentives to win!

Please share your ideas for how we should set up the goals.  Maybe you are at a safe weight but want to lower your blood pressure.  Or maybe you are concerned about your blood sugar or cholesterol.  How will define the rules to determine a winner of the challenge?  What should the winner get?  Do we each pay-in a few bucks and winner take all?  Do we each add some glass or beads into a winners box?  Incentive helps!

Please share your ideas here!
