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.

Not as hard as I anticipated...

This week has been easier than I thought it would be!  Thank goodness for cottage cheese and pears, good "legal" whole wheat bread, lots of asparagus!, and crisp apples.  I passed up the girl scout cookies (of course I ordered the ones with coconut because I don't care for it), but at other times in my life I would have just "forced" myself to eat one, just because.  Some of the things that have happened to me have been completely unexpected.  I've gone from drinking Diet Coke on a VERY regular basis, to having none since our water week.  I like the things that water does for me.  I'm blessed to have been able to walk, even though it might be slower than it used to be...  Not the least of my blessings has been to watch you all and be inspired by the things you are doing and some of the changes I see.  And thanks to Jen and Jen!
