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.

I'm obviously not the only one!

So, in just scanning the entries this week, I am not alone. I agree that being told I can't do something is much harder that being told I can. Monday was the longest day EVER! Probably because I had the day off and didn't have my normal schedule to follow and really wanted junk. I made it through the day somehow and then have made it through the week. How, I have no idea. Only two and half more to go. It seems every day I crave something sweet, which isn't like me. Don't get me wrong, I like my sweets, but I have never been a person who has them every day.

This weekend my niece, who is 8, is coming to stay with my sister and me. We usually watch movies, eat popcorn, eat junk food and go and do fun things. Well the movie and fun things will still happen I just have to remember I can't eat the sweets. Her mom told me this morning that she was packing treats for our movie watching. Ought to be fun tonight!

Last week my challenge was to get 7 and 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep a night and continue drinking 64 oz. of water. The sleep was so hard! I felt like I was rushing each night just to make it to bed on time. I did make it, but it was difficult. The water has been easy for me, I have continued to drink at least 64 oz this week.
