Just sit quietly for the rest of the 5 minutes to calm yourself and to think positive thoughts ONLY! (10 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'll be posting my Challenge points list next and invite anyone who would like to, just copy and paste it into your own post and then you can go back each day and edit it rather than starting all over again!

Good Luck EVERYONE!

By gosh, I might have this figured out-though I'm not sure I can actual do a couple of them-mostly because it's not possible. And some numbers will definitely be more than others. I'm still unsure of some of these-do I add my own to fit me, or just go by this??? Holly I know you told me where to find it, but now I can't find that post either-crazy me!

I'll start from yesterday!! Well, yesterday for Me, apparently it is still Monday for the computer!

Great! Glad you are joining in! No you don't change the ones already there but you can add one totally different or use the idea of another but make it work for you. For instance, we had one when we first started about doing a cardio workout for 30 minutes, I couldn't do it at that time because of my asthma but I walked which was a workout for me with the asthma! And it's not an all or nothing deal. You may only want to do some of them, I rarely ever manage to all of them in a days time.

It's been so long since I told you where to look for that post, I don't remember but I will copy and paste here what I think you are asking about!

I had several Rockstars tell me they didn't like doing the challenges because it was too overwhelming and it ended up leaving them not wanting to do anything. That's not what we want! First of all the challenges are intended to help you to do things you find hard to do and get rewarded for doing them so that maybe you will start to make them a good habit. But you don't have to do them all, if that is a problem for you.

Maybe for some the idea would be to just pick the ones you want to work on that particular week and don't worry about the rest, but share it with the rest of us. We are a team and we want to share our ups and downs and be supportive of every effort that anyone makes! It really isn't about who does the most, it's about doing the things that will help you be a healthy weight. The point totals and awards are just for the benefit of those competitive sorts, like me! Remember the difference in winners and losers is that winners are willing to do what the losers aren't willing to do. Stretch yourself a little and you'll get a lot of benefit.

Well here I go again...in trying to be a better BLUE TEAM LEADER I will do my best to keep up with these here. I always seem to do the challenges pretty well, I just don't always give myself the due credit. Well, here goes...my totals through today.

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. (0 pts so far)...no opportunities yet. Except at home I live on the 2nd floor and have no elevators.

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. (6 pts so far)

4) Linda: Not using "drive up" anything, park and walking in building, (4 pts. so far) You'll save on gas too!

17) Lara: commercial break activity, either walking in place, wall push ups, squats, done for the entire commercial break (1 pt./commercial) (0 pts so far)

18) Lara: Take a multivitamin. (0 pts so far)

I will do my best to keep a tally every day, if not then every 2 days I will keep adding those points until the end of the week!
