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.

Sleep Review and Lunch Idea

I didn't know how this past week would go for me.  I tend to stay up late, not wanting the day to end.  This was a good way to get me to go to bed at a decent hour.  I was so paranoid about getting all the hours in that I woke up a lot each night just to check the clock.  It was nice to have a non food challenge this week, so I could gear up for next week.

And speaking of next week, I am already nervous that I am going to slip up with some silly lick of a spoon or something.  This will be a challenge for me.  As for a meal idea, veggie burgers on wheat bread.  I was at Costco and they had samples of Dr. Praeger's all natural California Veggie Burgers.  They are tasty.  That burger and some strawberries make for a nice lunch.

I did a google search to learn more about refined sugar and wheat.  These pages had some information.

Good Luck!
