BACK TO BASICS....NEW BEGINNINGS CHALLENGE
We did this as a challenge..now I am going to leave it up incase anyone needs a NEW BEGINNING anytime !!!
We have our 5 star challenge going on, but some of us might need a
little less challanging a goal if we are just starting out or if we
have been losing sight of where we are going and need to refocus on
our goals.
Here's a challange we used awhile back that helped the newbies get
started and the strugglers get back on track!
It's called the Back to Basics Challange--Baby Steps or Advanced!!
1. Post! Once a day with 3 responses to others a day!
2. Journal! Every day and EVERYTHING!!!
3. Drink your water
4. Exercise! Everyday do something--even if you are just starting and
can only do 5 minures at a time--even 1 minute at a time!!!!Do
something and write it down and then keep adding to this as you are
able. Get that metabolism moving!
5. Find the right Food Plan for you and stick to it!
FOR THE BABY STEPS BACK TO BASICS PLAN, DO STEP 1 THE FIRST WEEK,
STEPS 1 & 2 THE SECOND WEEK, STEPS 1,2,&3 THE THIRD WEEK, STEPS
1,2,3,&4 THE FOURTH WEEK AND ALL THE STEPS THE FIFTH WEEK!
FOR THE ADVANCED BACK TO BASICS PLAN, MAKE YOURSELF A LIST OF THE 5
STEPS--POST IT ON YOUR FRIDGE--EACH DAY CHECK OFF THE STEPS AS YOU
COMPLETE THEM--COUNT EACH STEP AS ONE POINT AND TRY TO HAVE 35 POINTS
BY THE END OF EACH WEEK!
Sometimes we ALL need to just have a New Beginning!
**************************************************************************
FRUIT AND VEGGIE CHALLENGE
We should get 5 servings of fruit and/or veggies in a day. 1/2 cup =
one serving. Our goals are to try new foods and recipes also. We also
want to encourage each other each day.
Each serving up to 5 =5 points each
Getting in all 5 servings =10 points each day
Each new food tried = 5 points each
Emailing encouragement to your team each day = 10 points for the day
So, if you tried 5 new fruits/veggies in a day, getting in all your
servings in a day, and emailed your teammates you can get a grand
total of 70 points for the day.
BONUS POINTS----EACH MEMBER CAN RECEIVE 30 EXTRA POINTS FOR EACH DAY
THEY POST A NEW RECIPE FOR FRUITS/VEGGIES ON THE BOARD.
THAT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO EARN 100 POINTS PER MEMBER FOR YOUR TEAM
EACH DAY!
Find your team mates on the list--and, DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL THE
LEADER WITH YOUR TOTAL POINTS EACH DAY!! DON'T MAKE THE LEADER GO
LOOKING FOR YOU!!
*************************************************************************
THE SPRING CLEANING CHALLENGE
The idea of this challenge is to get ya MOVING and a GROOVING...
AND Get that SPRING Cleaning done !!!!
Each team will be issued a big BUCKET, and they have to fill it with
WATER and BUBBLES.
For every 15 min of REGULAR CLEANING you do, you earn 1 BUBBLE.
For every 30 min of SPRING CLEANING you do, you EARN 2 BUBBLES.
(yes you can take 1 BUBBLE for 15 min of SPRING CLEANING too)
For every 10 min of regular EXERCISE you do you EARN a cup of WATER.
It takes 10 cups of WATER to fill a BUCKET....and you have to have
atleast 15 BUBBLES in EACH BUCKET to have a FULL BUCKET...Before you
can start to fill up another BUCKET.
So on average, if each team member cleaned 45 min/day-(30 min of
spring cleaning, and 15 min regular household cleaning),and
exercised 20 min a day that would fill a bucket.
I will give each TEAM MEMBER a FREE BUBBLE for EMAILLING their
TEAM MATES EACH DAY as well.<--Already a BONUS
DO NOT COUNT CLEANING AS EXERCISE !!!
Lets see how many of those BUCKETS we can fill up with WATER
and BUBBLES !!!!
Yard work counts as SPRING CLEANING ...
so lets get CLEANING and EXERCISING !!!!
WATCH for EXTRA BONUSES as well...You never know when/where they will
pop up.
TEAM CAPTAINS are responsible for collecting their total WATER and
BUBBLE tallies for their team, and then POSTING the results on a DAILY
CHECK IN POST that I will put up...
Be sure to EMAIL and encorage each other. Lets have some FUN with this
one !!!!
*************************************************************************
TOILET PAPER CAPER CHALLENGE
Lets see how many TOILET PAPER ROLLS you can earn as a TEAM !!!!
Each oz of WATER you drink will represent 1 square of TOILET PAPER.
One cup of "Fresh" fruit and two cups of "Fresh" vegetables can
equal 20 ounces to your water goal.
It takes 200 squares of TOILET PAPER to make 1 ROLL. So in order to
get a roll of TOILET PAPER.....you need to drink 200 oz of water, or
add in the fresh fruit and veggies appropriately.
Lets get DRINKING !!!!
*************************************************************************
FEET TOWARDS YOUR GOAL CHALLENGE
"Putting Feet Toward YOUR Goal"
It's here!!
The Challenge you've been asking for and waiting for!!
Time to put your FEET where your GOALS want to take you.
Did you think you could become FIT and HEALTHY just sitting on your
bum and looking at the computer screen!!
I don't think so!! lol
Ok..Here's how it works!
We will be assigned TEAMS!!!
(Yes TEAM LEADERS will be needed)
And then you will list your goals. We'll make ya list 'em on the
board so you will be accountable to US and YOURSELF.
We will have a GOALS LIST for you to fill out.
Then for everyday that you are ON TRACK and IN CONTROL....You get $25
of CYBER PLAY MONEY.
For the 2 weeks the challenge will run, you will have the opportunity
to save $350.
BUT
The catch is that for every slip up...you LOSE $5 of the $25/daily
allowance of CYBER PLAY MONEY. It will be put into a combined BLACK
POT on the board.
So if you didn't exericse on a PLANNED day you lose $5for THAT Day...
If you didn't stick to your eatting plan...You lose $5...No Journal...
LOSE $5...get the pic?
Then at the end of the challenge...you will have saved some CYBER PLAY
MONEY and you will be able to go fantasy shopping with items that WE
(Cee and I ) have chosen you to choose from.
Lets see which TEAM will have the most CYBER $$$ and the least amount
of BLACK POT $$$ at the end of 2 weeks.
Are you ready to work toward those GOALS, and have some FUN while
doing it?
**************************************************************************
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Here's the deal...
You sign up here with your name/board name/email in the subject line
and watch for your turn in the SPOTLIGHT.
Then everyday I will choose a person randomly and you will have your
chance in the SPOTLIGHT.
For those new to the board...this is where we get to ask the
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT a question or 2 about them. They can be silly
questions, or more get to know you questions.
Lets have some fun with this and get to know each
other a little better :))

~~~~~~~~~WEEKEND CHALLENGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK Guys ... It's time for a WEEKEND CHALLENGE.
Alot of us seem to have a problem keeping it together for
the WEEKENDS.
So lets give this a try ...
This is going to focus on the eatting portion of your journey,
BUT it is going to have the concequences of the exercise part of
your journey as well.
This is how it will work ...
For every time you *cheat* off of your plan, you will add an EXTRA
10 min a day to your exercise session !!!
Yup ... Thats right ... an EXTRA 10 min to your exercise for EVERY
time you CHEAT during the weekend.
So before you pop that chocolate or cookie into your mouth ... or
take that EXTRA scoop of *whatever* at dinner time ...If it is
NOT IN YOUR PLAN, then you better be prepared to give me an
EXTRA 10 Min of whatever exercise you do. Whether it be 10 more min
of walking/biking/stretching/exercise tapes/weights----WHATEVER !!!
So who will be BRAVE enuff to sign up for the task?
Who will be the STRONGEST LINK at the end of the weekend.
You can't lose here. ( Well ... maybe in pounds and inches )
No matter what the outcome of your weekend, you will either come
away with a perfect ON PLAN WEEKEND ... Or you will have gotten in
EXTRA EXERCISE.
So be BRAVE and take the challenge. I look forward to Monday and
seeing how ya did.
Sign up and have a GREAT weekend !!!
PS...For those of you just starting out with exercise you can do
an EXTRA 5 min of exercise to start for your *cheats* IF you have any...
