Fitness Challenge Take 2

Stretching after my first run of 2013

Ok, how many of you resolved to be healthier in the new year?  Lose some unwanted pounds, have a more balanced diet, make it to the gym more often?  Well, its your lucky day...I have just the thing for you.  



The Get In Shape Accountability Challenge has been a success so far, with individuals loosing up to 20lbs over the last 3 months...and we still have another 12 days to go!  The second challenge will start February 1 and end March 31.  We're shortening it to 2 months this go around because 3 months is a really long time and I noticed people started falling off a little more as time went on.

Remember, this is not a crash diet or crazy workout plan, this is a challenge to make healthy habits and stick to them.  We aren't about being extreme for a few months then falling off again, it's permanent change we're looking for!



I'll recap the rules for you:

* It's $20 to get in on this (money is due January 31 or your name won't be added to the list)

* We'll add your name to the contest spreadsheet

* Each day is worth two points

   *One point for working out (30 min or more, must break a sweat)

   *One point for staying in your calorie goals (set them here)**

        *This system makes an equal playing field not matter your ability or weight

        * Only 6 workouts a week will count, nobody should be working out all 7 days, you need rest

*  You'll log on each day and mark a "W" for "workout" and a "C" if you stayed in your calorie goal

* At the end of each week track if you lost/gained weight (+3 if you gained 3lbs, -2 if you lost 2lbs, etc)

* I will total the points each week so you can see where you're at in comparison to everyone else

* First, second and third highest point total at the end of 2 months will split the money

   *Dollar amount will depend on how many people are participating

* Challenge will go February 1-March 31 

* Please pass this info along to anyone you'd like-the more participants = more $$ you could win

**I should note, you can track your calories anyway you'd like, DailyPlate.com is just what I've found helpful but feel free to use whatever means works for you.  We even have people who are on Weight Watchers, so their "C" comes from staying in their points.  We have others who are gluten free so their "C" comes from following the plan they've set.  This is all about what is successful for you--just stay consistent throughout the challenge.

Think it over, sleep on it...you still have some time...message me when you decide you want in on this!
