This challenge will be for 8 weeks. If you follow this it can help create an all around better you! We want to do this together, so we can all help each other and be there for each other and strive for better health. We want everybody around for as long as possible and believe it or not your health habits have a HUGE influence on that.
If any part of this challenge is holding you back, please tell us, we don't want anybody too intimidated, but we do still want it to be challenging. We can adjust it a little if we need to.
As a participant you will have the opportunity to earn points every day by following our list of requirements:
1-Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
2-Exercise for 30 minutes per day
3-Eat 2 fruits per day
4-Eat 2 veggies per day
5-Get at least 7 hours of sleep per night (if you don't, get a nap to get in all your hours)
6-No Sugar (eliminating sugary foods and snacks in your diet, you could also eliminate white flour which turns into sugar if you really want more bang for your buck, you can make that call)
7-No Soda, Junk food or fast food- learn how to make your favorite foods, healthier, for example pizza: Make a whole wheat crust, use low fat cheese, turkey pepporoni..it's actually really good, You may have to be creative in this area, but I promise you it's do able and you will find yourself even more full from better fueling and filling foods
8-No eating after 8 pm (unless you didn't eat dinner then you can get it in...of course it will have to be healthy :)
9-Get at least 15 minutes per day of Scripture study or other uplifting reading
10-Write in your journal everyday you could use a blog or personal journal, even if it's a sentence or two. It counts! At least you are trying.
These 10 things allow you to earn 10 points per day. You will get ONE FREE DAY per week ALLOWING YOU THE FULL 10 POINTS FOR THAT FREE DAY. You must take a free day for all of the things in the day with the exception of exercise. For example, if you want to not excercise on Sunday, but take your free day for everything else on Saturday that's okay. The only exception is the exercise part, everything else must be on the same day. Make sense?
Each week you can earn a total of 70 points. I will create a google doc or something where we can input our points each week to see how each other is doing. You can also use our Family Facebook group here to talk about it, let us know how you are doing, give each other ideas for snacks, etc.
What do you say!? I'm way excited. I know a lot of you always talk about getting healthy and maybe even work at it. This would be something so fun AND so rewarding especially doing it together as a Family!
The reward? Of course a better you all around, you'll feel better, you'll be more spiritually uplifted, we'll be closer as a family. If we need something else to motivate us, this is where I would like your input. An idea is that we can all put $10 in a pot or paypal account. The winner with the most points will get it all. If there are multiple winners they will split it. We could have runner ups who get other prizes too? We could have some sort of prizes each week or every other week? Not sure what though. Or if we can't do the money thing what else can you think of that would be a great reward at the end. Please input! Thanks! I hope you all are ready to join us, Erica and I for sure are! We will start Monday, February 13th (don't worry you can take Valentines as your free day if you need to that week :)
Are you ready? Is it too soon! Do we need to give you another week? I hate not knowing what's going on in your minds, please share! Thanks!
