Hello and welcome to yet another monthly challenge. Here's how the Points Challenge (designed by Sandi of the 100 lb. Club) works: Every day, starting October 1 and going until October 31, you have the chance to earn 4 points doing the things we all know help with weight loss: food, exercise, and water. You get 2 points for following your own personal plan for food, 1 point for getting in your planned exercise, and 1 point for drinking the amount of water you've set as your goal. That means that a total of 124 points are possible for the month of October.
Just post your points for each day as you go along, you can add to a previous post by editing or just post a new reply. I'll keep a log of everyone's points (and the days that they've updated) at the top.
I like this idea.
Food: 1200-1500 calories
Exercise: At least 30 min
I don't have a problem drinking lots of water so I'm changing this one to brushing my teeth after meals (hey, at least I'll get 1 point a day, AND my dentist will be happy!)
Food: 1 pt for 5 servings of veggies, 1 pt for 1400-1600 calories
Water: 1 pt for 2 Nalgenes (2 liters)
Exercise: 1 pt for at least 30 minutes of activity
I'm in:
Foodn atkins..so, 1 point for being in the allotted carbs..(this month will range from 20 to finish out my induction, and adding on 10 more per week).1 point for eating at least 2 servings of veggies
Water:64 oz..I can do it!
Exercise:30 min of something..
Food: 1 point for less than 1800 cals./2 points for less than 1500
Exercise: 1 point for 60 mins. 6 days a week
Water: 1 point for 2 nalgenes (~68 oz.)
I'll join up. I need to get back on track. I think I'll do mine a bit differently too.
1 pt for scheduled exercise
1 point calories under 1800 (MAX) and above 1200 (MIN)
1 point water over 75 ounces
1 point if I have 3 servings of fruit and veggies AND 2 servings dairy (I know those are low but that's minimum for me)
Oct 1-1 point
Oct 2-2 points (I think I went over on calories but not sure)
and I didn't exercise but I'm going to use it as my rest day and
not too much water. Weekends suck! Back on track tomorrow
Oct 3-3 points-I didn't have my fruits and dairy(I actually did get my dairy
but not my fruits and veggies).
October4-3 points (my fruits and veggies and dairy again! I'll do better today! I went to the store yesterday for fruit)
October 5-4 points (finally)-I actually got my fruits and veggies AND dairy today. I didn't exercise but I'm giving myself the point anyway because I get 1 or 2 days off a week. IF I miss another one, no points for me!!
