Challenge Rules

9 week challenge - January 23 - March 25

Each participant contributes $20 to the Prize Pot.

4 Point Categories: exercise, challenge participation, weight loss challenge & Blog participation.

Exercise: You will receive 1 point for every 30 minutes of exercise for up to 5 hours. Anyone who completes 5 hours will receive 15 points. No extra points will be awarded for hours over 5. Exercise should be intentional and challenging.

Weekly Challenge Participation: You will receive 1 point for each day you complete the weekly challenge. If you complete every day of the week you will receive 10 points. (weekly challenges are listed on the right)

Weight Challenge: If you maintain your weight for the week you get 5 points. If you lose any weight for the week you get 8 points.

This challenge is about more than weight loss, we want the focus to be on creating good habits and feeling healthy. But we recognize that some of you may desire to lose weight and you should be rewarded with additional points.

Blog Participation: You will receive 5 points for each week that you post an update, thoughts or motivation on the blog. Setting goals works best when you have people to share with and report to, use the blog as a way to motivate and encourage each other.

Make up Points: If you miss a day of the weekly challenge you can earn 4 make up points. If you do the challenge from the previous week, every day for the current week, you can get 4 bonus points. You must do the previous weeks challenge in addition to the current week and do it perfectly to earn the 4 points. You are only eligible for the bonus points if you missed a day from the previous week, you cannot have a perfect week and keep doing the previous weeks challenge to earn 4 additional points.

Feeling Better!!!

With all the changes I have made this last week, I am feeling so much better.  Not only have I been watching what I'm eating, but adding exercise has really made a difference.  I love the fact that just after one week, I have more energy, and have been able to accomplish more than I have in a long time.  I was able to go on a quick weekend trip to San Diego.  We toured a Naval ship called The Midway.  It has ladders and stairs that go up and down to all the different areas of the ship. Some of them 60 at a time.  I am not saying that it wasn't hard, because it was.  However, I was actually able to do it.  I find it very interesting that I could feel this much better in such a short time.  I know that being conscious of what I am eating, and making a concentrated effort not to OVER-EAT has made all the difference!
