[da fat n da furious]

So this is a challenge for all the sisters...(I can't talk gangsta...it just doesn't come out sounding right)

The rules are simple... you get to earn 4 points per day, that is a total of 28 point per week. If you get 25 points or more, give yourself a reward. It doesn't have to be big, a new lipstick, pocket book, a pedicure, or time for you, just you.
You can earn 1 point for drinking all your water, 1 point for eating clean, 1 point for your workout, and 1 point for doing what ever you forget or avoid. ie: taking your vitamins, or tracking all your food intake...this is something you can decide.
At the end of the week tally up your points. Make this fun, and remember you do deserve a reward...

I LOVE this idea!! I'm in. I will start this tomorrow. I'm not sure what I think it the amount of water that I need to be getting in, but I'll figure it out.

Great idea! Also love the name!!

[Marti]

Hello!! I'm ready to start this. So here is what I have planned for today.

Gazelle =1pt
80oz of water =1pt
Eating veggies =1pt
Vitamins in =1pt

End of week reward=New journal (instead of spiral notebook!)

The biggest challege will be the veggies!! I try always to eat some veggies a day...but would prefer it to be eat veggies per meal. Will try to work up to that. The farms are opening up and fresh veggies are available!!

Thanks for this challenge Angie! Sounds like fun and I hope I get to at least 25pts by the end of the week!

[Jane]

I'm in, too. Mine will be food, exercise, water, and a vitamin.
Also, I think we need to say - no splitting points, ok? Either you stay OP, or not, either you did your workout, or not, etc. Does that sound fair?

I'm so pumped about this!! Not sure what my reward will be. Maybe a new book.

I will probably sound dumb with this question but what are we talking about eating "clean" I am thinking nothing fried, high sugar, high fat, etc or is it "clean" food according to the Bible???

[Jane]

Jules, it's not a dumb question at all. Clean eating means following your own program to the letter. WW, South Beach, Sonoma, calorie counting, etc. Or as in Marti's case, just adding veggies. Whatever you challenge yourself to, that's what you need to do. Mine is to stay OP w/Weight Watchers.

Mind if I join ladies? I miss the other challenge thread and this one sounds fun. Are you keeping track daily or just weekly?

Exercise-1 pt.
Water-4 16.9 oz bottles-1 pt.
Vitamins-1 pt.
Eating clean-1 pt.

I've got 3 points so far for the day. I've eaten clean so far but there is still dinner so won't count that yet.

[Jane]

You're welcome to join. I think group support is just what we need.

[FrouFrou]

Thank you Jane

Sounds like fun. I am going to go for exercise, eating properly, liquids and vitamins.
I can even start today...or should we all have the same starting day?

If I am starting on Tues. I got all 4 points today.

I think my reward this week will be a new mouse pad.

[Marti]

Well here I am....hanging my head in shame. I only got 2 out of the 4 pts I was aiming for!

Got my exercise and I got the vitamin down...but not enough water or any veggies! Now how do you suppose I'm going to get that new journal???

Will work on it better tomorrow. Will try for the same thing...only I'm going to cut the water intake and work my way up. So instead of 80oz. I will try for 40.

Glad to see you Cristina, Sue ,Jane, and Jules! Now where is the gal who started this challenge???

[jules1216]

Okay today will be my day 1 since Jane was kind enough to explain to me the "clean" part. (I have to remember that my Nanny used to say "the only stupid question is the one not asked!")

Here's my list:

Water- 8-10 8 oz servings

Calories- everything written down & figured up

Exercise- Slim-n-Tone M-W-F, crunches, leg lifts or power walks T-Th-Sun with Saturdays off (I am thinking that is okay to lose a point for exercise one day a week- maybe it will keep me more motivated the rest of the week)

Vitamins--B Complex to help me with my stress levels which seems to make me gain no matter how good I do on everything else and a Multi w/calcium and iron (to help with my borderline anemia)

[jules1216]

Marti--no hanging your head in shame allowed here!! Maybe you should get your journal to start fresh and then your point treat can be a really cool pen in a color that matches the journal!!

[Jane]

Marti - I agree totally with Jules!

I got all 4 points for yesterday. I didn't want to do the Gazelle, but I knew I had to if I wanted the point, lol. I will alternate exercise, and work my upper body every other day. Oh yeah - I got the vitamin bottle out and set in in the kitchen, where I can see it, and like yesterday, I'll take one with my supper every night.

Weekly total = 4 of 4 possible.
