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.

Tip to Share

I wanted to share a tip from a book I've been reading on Healthy Living.

"Lost Your Motivation? It's Right Here

We all go through this. Feeling overwhelmed, feeling like you're not up to par, feeling tired, or just plain ready to give up. It's a natural part of the ebb and flow of life. But if you want to change your health for a lifetime, it's something you have to work on for a lifetime. All you need to do is be willing to try, try again. Try one of these tips to help you get back on the right path:

  • Talk to a positive friend. The conversation doesn't even have to be about you. Hearing a positive spin on life is always inspiring.
  • Listen to your favorite music
  • Invite a friend or family member to work out with you. Set a time and date-and don't cancel it!
  • Invite somebody to enjoy a healthy meal with you. The invitation will force you to follow through with making and eating the healthy meal.
  • Ponder your true intentions. Tell yourself you "have" to do it in order to feel your best. You have no choice other than to fight for your health in this unhealthy world."
Loved this weeks challenge x 2 since I did last week's again as well. I am learning so much about these simple, healthy choices. They do make a difference! For next week I am going to choose a new health tip for each day, do it and post it! 

Have a great week everyone!
