A new challenge

Chuck and I are starting a 6-week challenge this Thurs

Like in 2 days!!! {well, one full day and 2 nights...}

Here are the details...

There are 100 points possible a day,

600 total for the week

I'll explain later why only 600 not 700.

Here is how you earn points

30 meal points

-6 pts per meal (5 meals)

-must journal food eaten

- focus on 1 protein, 1 carb and 1 f/v

- have at least 2 veggies a day

{{{btw... I'm not a veggie eater}}}

***penalty: minus 10 pts for snacking b/w meals

(besides cucumbers/celery)***

20 exercise points

-exercise 30+ min a day

-BONUS: add 5 pts for working out for an hour

10 water points

- 3 liters of water (100 oz)

-32 oz pure water...

-the rest can be flavored (sf) or not

15 sleep points

-7 hrs a night

-lights out by 7 hrs before wake time

20 transformation points

-10 pts: kick out old bad habit

-10 pts: bring in new good habit

***must be same habits the whole challenge.

changing habit choice will result in a 35 pt penalty***

5 communication points

-communicate with at least 1 team member a day

-communicate with at least 1 opponent a day

-well... we have no opponents,

so we will just communicate w/ each other!

you get 1 day off for each category

doesn't have to be the same day!!!

That's why there is only 600 pts possible

ex: no exercise Sunday...

but if you miss another day, you miss the points!

but you cannot exercise all 7 days

and get points for all 7 days,

only 6 days count point-wise!

WI day... if you lose 1% of your weight...

{ex: 200 lbs = 2 lb loss for 1%)

you get a bonus of 20% of total points earned!!!

So... Chuck and I are not competing with this.

We are working together...

our reward is VEGAS!!!

But we have to get an "A"...

that is we have to be 90% or above on points earned.

So, check back and see how we are doing.

I just needed something that would not feel like a diet!

So I think this is the answer.

It's all about making good choices!
