Rockstar Challenge Week 12

After kicking butt in the weight loss challenge for two week running , we should be so pumped for jumping on these challenges! Let's work hard at them this week because you know those other teams will be working hard to get back the title from us! If you aren't the competitive sort and don't care about competition for accumulating the most points (AND BRAGGING RIGHTS!) then just pick one or some to work on as your own personal challenge this week to improve your healthy lifestyle changes and weight loss. And share your success and trials with those challenges with the team. We want to support and encourage each other to be successful.

This weeks Challenges!
1)Holly: Be thankful for finding this site and becoming a Rockstar! (1 pt)
2) Holly: Take the stairs instead of the elevator and get a point for each flight you climb.
3) Holly/Linda/Tuesday: Park in the space at the end of the row furtherest from the door, or around the building, and walk in rather than parking close and get a point for each time you do it. (2pts roundtrip)

9) Debbie: Take 5 minutes to close your eyes in a quiet, dark room to meditate on your weight loss journey. Find one thing that you did today that will help you on your journey, and find one positive thing you can promise to yourself that you will do tomorrow for your journey. Just sit quietly for the rest of the 5 minutes to calm yourself and to think positive thoughts ONLY! (10 pts)
10) Heather: Share with the team what you do/say/practice/read/etc to stay motivated. Maybe we can help each other learn some new tricks. Share yours for 5 points, and read what others have posted about it for two additional points each day.

14) Jenn: Do squats while brushing your teeth, etc. 1 pt. for every 10
15) Holly: Get one pt for each 8 ozs of water you drink, if you drink 8/8oz (64 ounces) you get 20 pts instead of 8 plus an additional point for each cup over 64 ozs. EX: 4 cups=4 pts, 7 cups=7 pts, 8 cups=20 pts, 9 cups=21pts
16) Holly: Eat a healthy breakfast, as early as possible 3pts
17) Lara: commercial break activity, either walking in place, wall push ups, squats, done for the entire commercial break (1 pt./commercial)
18) Lara: Take a multivitamin. (5 pts)

For the benefit of the newer members the Rockstar Affirmation was added to a challenge by our beautiful Rockstar, Monica, in week 5 or so I think. It says, "I am beautiful, I am worthy, I am a ROCKSTAR"


I've already started my challenge point scoreboard, and you are more than welcome to copy and paste it into your own post and then edit it to make it yours. Then each day, go back and edit that page rather than start a new one. It's easy, it's fun and it will increase your weight loss to participate! Good Luck Rockstars!

I HAVE A question about #4--- my town doesn't have drive up/drive thru anything (except fast food, which i don't eat)... do i still get to count that point/s daily?? maybe i will just count it when we travel. lol

I still don't understand the points thing. What are they for? Are all of us Rockstars supposed to do this? I do like the suggestion of contacting MIA buddies because I try to do that once a week because I know for the year I was a buddyslim member, and not active, it really meant a lot to me to have someone send me a little nice note. So, I try to return the favor.

Great that's the idea! And with the challenge you actually get points for doing that!

The points that you add up each day and total at the end of the week are basically to help you to remember to do the things that will help insure your weight loss. So each morning you might want to review them as a reminder to yourself that if you do these things today it will help you lose weight. Then as the day goes along keep track of them, or at the end of the day review them and give yourself points for the things that you did that day. At the end of the week, I award a prize (Bragging Rights) to the person with the most points.

If you aren't competitive, and that doesn't motivate you to do the things that will help you lose weight and get healthy, then just choose one or a few to start working on just to help you reach your goal weight. The water challenge is to help encourage us to drink adequate water each day. The Thankful one is to remind us to be thankful that we have found this site that helps us so much and to put that thankfulness to work to help encourage yourself and others. The exercise ones are to encourage you to move, etc. They are just good healthy activities to get you going in a positive direction and hopefully have some fun doing it.

Whether you want to compete for bragging rights or not, please try out the challenges and report back how they are helping you, or if you are having trouble working them into your schedule, etc. Sometimes other team members can help you figure out a way to get the most benefit in a way you haven't thought of yet!

And it's just cool to participate!
