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.

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.

My Challenge- Day 4

The wheat bread was fabulous! I ground the wheat and usually I make it half white and half wheat but this whole wheat was very good. My whole family enjoyed it!

On to tomorrow's challenge...

"A Matter of Fat ( Tip #328 Melanie Douglass)

Eat something that's a good source of one of the healthy fats today. We Americans need a bit of retraining to realize that the right kind of fat is a necessary part of a healthy diet. Monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids are the healthiest fats; they promote cardiovascular health, and omega-3's can actually reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People often get confused about which fat is healthy and which fat is bad so check out the list below-- if you eat it, you'll remember it! Eat one of these healthy fats today:

  • 1 ounce almonds or walnuts (1 handful or about 20 nuts)
  • 1/4 of an avocado
  • 1-2 tablespoons ground flax seed (add to any baked item or cereal)
  • 1 tablespoon flax seed oil or fish oil
  • 6 ounces fatty fish ( salmon, trout, herring, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter".
I'm going to try one of these healthy fats on Thursday!
