Default JANUARY Points challenge! (This has nothing to do with Weight Watchers)

JANUARY CHALLENGE!! The New Year! Isn't it awesome!! We can sweep 2011 under the rug and start fresh! New beginnings are hard. We all could use a little help, so why not join this challenge?! It's somewhere to check in...some friendly competition.

Since this is a monthly challenge, it will start on the 1st and the day of the month is the day of the challenge. You need to post your points on a daily basis (or whenever you can). Simply reply to this post and then edit that post as you add points. That way you always know where you are and so do I!

For those of you who have NO IDEA what I am talking about - here are the details. Sometimes we work our hardest when we are held accountable. So I challenge you to do your very best for the month and we'll see who wins!!

Here is how it's going to go. Starting January 1, 2012. We will try to do the 3 things that work. Food, water & exercise. You decide what your food plan is, how much water you want to drink and how much exercise you want to get every day. Every day you have the opportunity to earn 4 points.

2 point for sticking with your food plan (no splitting points here, you either stuck to your plan or you didn't)
1 point for drinking the amount of water you decided on
1 point for getting some exercise. (If you don't exercise on a given day - you DO NOT get a point for exercise - even if you planned it that way) Sorry, no 1/2 points.

Post here with how many points you've earned for a given day, and I will keep track. We'll see who's did the best for the month.

This is a very cool way to keep on track, because even if you don't do so great on food, you might still get in your water and exercise to earn the points!

Who's ready for a challenge????

Note: When I do the final totals at the end of the month, I only include people who have participated 15 days or more.

I would love to participate, this challenge REALLY helped keep me on track during the holidays in December, but heading out of the country for about 2 1/2 weeks. I'll be back to do it another time when I'm able to post.

It's an awesome challenge to help keep you on track... go for it!

I never could keep up with this before but I will this month!

Plan: Eat healthy and reasonable. Not really a plan. The biggest No no for me is if I feel like I'm going to combust after eating, no go.
Water: 64 oz (that is two of my work water bottles)
Exercise: 30 minutes of hooping every day in January and 3 times of strength.

Day 1: 4

This sounds cool~ I had lost 44 pounds, then Christmas came. Gained 4 back. But this AM I am back at my pre-Christmas weight! Whoot!!
Today is the 9th...I can back track for a few days, but not all the way to the 1st.

I'm on a 1235 calorie a day diet (I track calories on MyPlate, and I've been very successful) I will only give myself 2 points if I stay on plan AND track every bite I eat!)

Drink 64 ounces of water a day

The best I do right now is low impact with my Mii friends with Wii fit. It's not great, but at least I'm moving! (I am having some horrible plantar faciaitis sp? issues right now which is making it painful to walk, let alone exercise.)

Good luck to you all!

I can see how this would be super motivating! But didn't join the forum soon enough. Maybe a Feb challenge for me!
