Contest Results - week 1
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
We had 5 entrants and 4 prizes given out this week. But everybody in this contest wins since the whole point of it is to get in shape.
The 1st place prize winner of the t-shirt went to Sassy Mama Bear, and Entrecredits went to PurrPrints, milet, and BlueWorkhorse. All commentators will be entered into the final drawing at the end of the month also.
It’s not too late to get in on the action. There will be a Week 2 contest post this coming Sunday. Just log your minutes or miles walked for the week and leave a comment on Sunday’s post and you’re entered into the contest. All contest participants will be added to Buddy’s Monthly Mile Challenge Club blogroll on the sidebar.
We’re upping the ante this week. 1st place will get a t-shirt and 100 Entrecredits, 2nd place will get 200 Entrecredits, 3rd - 125 ec’s, and 4th - 75 ec’s.
Buddy’s Contest: WEEK 1
Sunday, August 10th, 2008
Well, between the extended work hours, the crappy weather, and getting sick midweek, neither myself nor the kids racked up very many miles. So, those are my excuses… what are yours?
From Sunday thru Saturday (yesterday) I only managed to put in 4.25 miles, Rudy did 1.87 miles, and Buddy and Precious did 1.25 miles each.
The good news is my calves seem to be getting a great workout with my daily uphill “death march” to work. As you can see in the photo, My scary “just big” calves are now turning into scary big defined calves. Ok, I suppose most women are a little freaked about big bulging muscles, but then again, most women don’t play ice hockey either!
THE CONTEST
Ya gotta be in it to win it. So here’s what you have to do… just comment on this post about how many minutes or miles you walked (biked, ellipticalled, ran, etc.) this past week. If you walk with Fluffy (or whatever your dog’s name is), include their mileage. Buddy would like some encouragement too!
THE PRIZES
Commentators who respond by 11:00pm EST Tuesday will be randomly selected to win the following 4 prizes:
1st - a “Heart Healthy Hounds and Humans” t-shirt
2nd - 150 Entrecard credits
3rd - 100 Entrecard credits
4th - 50 Entrecard credits
For the full details of this contest, or to see a picture of the shirt design, see the post: Buddy Is Having A Contest… Of Sorts.
And remember, this is an ongoing contest until further notice, so start logging those miles and get ready for next Sunday’s post too!
Healthy Alternative Frozen Dog Treats
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008
I went shopping at Wegmans a couple nights ago with my friend Sharon. We started off at Tops, but the produce looked like crap. I had to dig through about 30 nectarines just to find 2 that weren’t disgustingly bruised or half rotten. So we said the heck with it and took off to shop in greener pastures.
So here we are in Wegmans at the end of our shopping and we decide to check out the ice cream. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything interesting for myself, but I did discover a healthy doggy ice cream which apparently has been on the market for a few years now. Dogsters Healthy Treats, sold nationally since 2005, are all natural, low calorie, and low fat frozen dog treats.

Ok, here’s how it works…
Buddy wants to start his very own Monthly Mile Challenge Club (MMCC). He loves his “walkies” so much, he wants everybody to get out and go walking too!
