Here's how you earn your "Fun Money"1. write down or posting to your team your planned menu for the day
2. at least 1 fruit or veggie with every meal
3. only healthy snacks
4. water!! at least 32oz of pure water
5. NO BLTs!! (Bites, Licks and Tastes) you eat whats planned for snacks or whats on your plate, no sampling or nibbling in between or while cooking
6. Use portion control and moderation in all meals and snacks
Okay so once you've written down or posted your planned menu for the day (you can do the whole week at once if it'll help you) its set!! You owe it to yourself (and your team
) to stick to that plan for the day. Failing to plan is like planning to fail so start your day off right with a plan for success!!For every day you complete these 6 easy little food related tasks, you earn yourself $1[/B][/COLOR], Sticking to plan for 7 straight days will net you $7. But, there is a catch!! Not sticking to plan erases all the monies you've earned to that point...UNLESS you:
- exercise for an additional 30 minutes for the day (this is above and beyond your normal workout for the day or if it was your off day you do just the 30) OR
- Journal - either to in a blog or in a notebook whichever works for you
doing either one (or both preferably) will allow you to keep your banked funds. You wouldnt get the $1 for the off plan day but at least you wouldn't lose what you've earned to that point.
Edited to add: if you have a scheduled event or scheduled day off plan as long as you account for it you are still sticking to plan for that day and dont have to reset your bank
$7 is kind of an odd amount so in order to even it out you can earn yourself a couple extra buck! These are optional! Here's how:
$2 - just for joining the challenge and giving this a try
$1 - for exercising 3x during the week
$1 - for journaling 3x during the week
$1 - for trying 3 new healthy foods during the week
$1 - for sharing a healthy recipe with the team
$2 - doing the president's fitness test (PM your times to Melissa)
If you did all of these things by the end of the week you'd 1) have 7 days OP under your belt!!!! How fantastic would that feel? 2) have $9 - $15 to spend on yourself!!! Imagine what you could get! (I know several of us want that WII Fit...how about making yourself earn it!!)
If you dont want to do the $ aspect you can use the same rules, only give yourself a point for each day rather than a dollar, you'd still wipe out your points by going off plan and could earn additional points doing the optional things. Set yourself a point goal and then reward yourself when you get that goal!
