I borrowed this from the 100 lb club (hope that's ok!) This is a great way to check in and be accountable for sticking to three important aspects of your plan for better health -- food, water, and exercise!

The challenge starts on the 1st day of the month and you have to post your points every day (or catch them up when you get a chance). To do so, reply to this post and then keep editing the same post to add your daily points. In other words, don't start any new posts in this thread -- just keep updating the same one.

Here is how the points work. 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 points 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 and let you know at the end of the month who got the most points! It's also a good idea to put your plan in your post, to remind us (and yourself) how you're earning your points.

Are you ready?

My food plan: fewer than 2000 calories per day
Exercise: at least 30 minutes of cardio per day and strength training at least 3x/week
Water: at least 64 ounces per day

6/1: 4
6/2: 4

My plan:
1: Eat at points every day. (29 WW Points)
2: Exercise everyday 20 min a day.
3: Drink at least 64 oz water. Ideally 120 oz but 64 oz is better than 0.

1: 4 (first 4!)
2: 3 (no exercise, at least not 20 min of it)

5: 3

Ok, my food plan is to stay within 1700 calories per day. My exercise plan is to run 3 times per week, and one day of strength training. Water is 4 bottles per day (which pans out to 68 oz).


ETA: Nice format, evoo! I am borrowing it! Also, after some talking with a trusted friend I have decided to edit my food goal back to cycling. Which will mean 3 1500 days, 1 1600 day,2 1400 days, and 1 2300 day.
