Okay, so for CHALLENGES, I thought it might be fun to have a little healthy competition - everyone in charge of keeping track of their own points for the week and the competition runs from Sunday-Saturday every week.

Each team member posts their CHALLENGE assignment here and the point value it is worth daily. An example might be that HOLLY challenges us to drink our water - for every 10 ounces, we get a point.

It could be motivational: Respond to 10 blogs for a point, Give 10 booster notes for a point

Actvity: do 20 situps for a point, do 10 squats for a point

Food: Eat all your veggies for 3 points; stay on your plan for 5 points.

Each team member comes up with one challenge and the corresponding point value. This is totally optional, but I thought it might be fun! Good Luck!

Oh Yeah (Winner gets braggin rights :P)

2. Squats (Lara) Each ten (max 100) = 1 point

It's been a hard week but I've done pretty good. I've made some less good choices and I've eaten after 8:30 three times. I don't like that one and I need to make sure I do a better job of using my calories in filling food during the day so I'm not running on empty at night. So I'll make one of my goals to get what I need at the store before going to work!

Goal for today:
Two 10 minute walk and one set of squats at work.
Eat two apples.
Stop at the market and get good snack items and a good lunch entre for work today.

Lara...the one thing I'm going to do this week to change my life forever...I will remind myself everyday that this is not a diet, this is a life-style change. As a life-style change, the way that I'm eating is healthy and I can continue this forever, not just until I lose the weight I want to lose. For me, the mental challenge is the biggest factor in my losing weight and maintaining it.

I like that Debbie - I bet some of these challenges are already growing on you! I rarely eat after 830 now (Thanks Josh)
