1000 Hours Outside Challenge

Everyone knows fresh air is good for you, but it is hard to consolidate just how good time spent outside can be for you. It is good for your mental and physical health in many ways.

Since I was a young child, I have always enjoyed being outdoors. As a kid, I lived on a 7-acre piece of property that was mainly wooded, and I would spend hours outside designing tree forts, running around with friends and even making my share of mud pies. At some point in adulthood, I lost that ingrained desire to do as many daily activities outside as possible. I remember when I was in college, and on the first nice spring day, you couldn’t find a spot to sit in the quad because everyone wanted to study outside.



When the marketing team at CalvertHealth decided to challenge the community to the 1000 hours outside challenge, I was immediately intrigued. As the Marketing and Events Manager for the hospital, I am usually acutely aware of the various activities available on campus. Still, this one interested me more as it involved the whole family.

When COVID hit in 2020, I started walking my neighborhood 5-6 days a week as a way to get out of the house. I was pregnant then and loved that it filled so many of my ‘buckets.’ I noticed being less stressed, I felt better overall, and I even got to know a few of my neighbors. Almost three years later, and while I still enjoy taking my almost daily walks around the neighborhood, I now have two children, a two-year-old and a 9-month-old, but we go as often as possible. I love the idea of this challenge because I want to make a conscious effort to do more things outside. Winter brings with it more screen time than normal and less time doing daily activities outside.

To be honest, though, I am nervous about this challenge. I am a full-time working mom. I’m taking classes towards a master’s degree, and my husband works evenings, so I usually solo parent when I am home with the kids. In light of this and also to get a better idea of how much time we are all spending outside, I am taking a twofold approach to this challenge. I have a personal goal to reach 1000 hours outside, but I am also planning to count my children’s time separately. I can do things like eat my lunch outside, take a meeting outside, go for a walk before work and more that wouldn’t involve my kids. However, my husband can also take them outside to play or eat during the day when I am not able to participate. In a perfect world, our efforts will meet in the middle and average out to about the same amount of outside time during the week/month/year.



Lastly, I wanted to share my plan of attack when looking at what can be an overwhelming task of spending 2.7 hours per day of being outside. First, during the weekends, we will do at least one long activity outside a day, ideally four or more hours. During the week, we will either play outside or go for a walk every day possible. As the weather and sunset time cooperate, we will start eating more meals outside. I know that once the weather improves, we will be able to easily get more time outside, so in the meantime, my goal is to spend at least an hour or two a day outside and work our way up from there.

I hope this helps, and I look forward to sharing my family’s journey of spending 1000 hours outside in 2023!

So, a while back, I faced the worst experience ever with some fake crypto asset brokerage. I was very mindful of my Bitcoin and had saved a whole 1.5 BTC for investments through a well-known brokerage firm. Thus, while researching where to invest, after so much searching on Google, I found a link sponsored and really well placed by the 1st in the list, and in that search result, was a website called Paleta network. I found everything about this site to be very well professionally and convincing as I went through it to connect my crypto wallet, and I did without thinking. Soon after doing that, the whole 1.5 BTC was gone from my Bitcoin. I went into a state of emergency and checked with my mobile app to confirm that the balance was indeed zero. Helpless, I contacted a workmate with a vast understanding of cryptocurrency. That co-worker at first felt my concerns flimsy and informed me that they might be out of a problem, but later he mentioned a specialist that was supposed to come to my aid. This specialist was part of a company known as Cyberpunk Programmers. I contacted them giving a detailed account of the incident and attached the malicious sponsored link which had led to the phishing. Cyberpunk Programmers reviewed the link in minutes and found it to be part of a scam scammer trying to rouge as the legitimate Manta Network, a real and reputable platform in the world of crypto. The team acted with the razor-sharp speed in the face of Cyberpunk Programmers. They were able to initiate the process of recovery utilizing their vast amount of experience in dealing with phishing and scam-related issues. Thanks to their sophisticated tools and techniques, they managed to reverse the transactions and recover my stolen bits.

Good day everyone. I’ve always played lottery games with the hope that someday I will win but that never happened. I did some research online and I came across an advert about Dr lucky who helps people that believe in his work. I explained my situation to him and he prepared a lottery spell for me and gave me some special digits to play the lottery. I did as he said without any skepticism and could you believe that after 3 days, I checked my ticket at a store where I bought it from and for the very first time in my life, I won the sum of £70,820,000 MILLION POUNDS. Now my life has changed for good, I am a boss of my own and I am so happy that I meant this great man called Dr lucky . You can be a boss of your own too by getting in touch with him. For urgent response from Dr lucky you could reach him through his email address castereffectivespell@gmail.com
