Points Week 2

Here are the totals for this last week:

Rachael: 34 pts
Jason: 33 pts
Sara: 32 pts
Dave: 31 pts
Dad: 30 pts
Mom: 29 pts

I will keep a running total in the right hand column.

Corrections and Clarifications

We have a few corrections...Dave and Rach informed me that they indeed turned their money in on time thus needing the 5 bonus points added to their scores. Now Rachael is dominating at 39 points and Dave is now not in last place but tied for 5th at 25 points.

We thought we would clarify the exercise rule and this is what we came up with:

1/2 hour= 1 pt
hour= 2 pts (as stated in the rules)
2 hours=3 pts
anything more then that= -1 pt for being a show off.

So now the most normal (not counting Pop Ch.) pts possible is 18.

Week Numero UNO

K so I was going to try and make this all fancy but I am tired and cant get it figured out so here are the numbers for week one:

Jason: 36
Sara: 36
Rachael: 34
Dad: 33
Mom: 26
Dave: 20

Good Luck next week! I was thinking...it says the Pop challenges are Mon-Fri., I think that they should be Mon-Sat. What are your thoughts?

This is where it all begins

Here's the skinny: everyone who wants to be in it puts $25 in a pot. Winner with most points accumulated for the following items gets ½ the pot. Second runner-up gets 30%, and third runner-up gets 20%. The challenge is 10 weeks long. Every Sunday email your points total to me and I will keep a running tally of everyone’s points. I will also add them to the blog so you know where everyone is at and if you need to step up your game or not.

****Starting Points****
+5 points for sending $25 to me, Sara, by the first day of the challenge, Sept 4th (which means within the next couple of days it should be in the mail!) You can send it to mom's address.
+2 points for sending it by Sept 18th
+0 points any later than these dates.

****Everyday points****
+1 point for 30 minutes of exercise, or 2 points for 1 hour of exercise up to 6 days/week (12 pts per week)
+1 point per day for drinking 48-64 oz of water daily (7 pts per week)
+1 point per day for keeping a food journal (7 pts per week)
+ 1 point per day you got 7-9 hours of sleep the night before
+1 point per week for emailing your weekly points each Sunday by 10 p.m. (my time): sarashirleydesign@gmail.com

POP CHALLENGES

***Every day on Monday through Friday: For the pop challenge there will be a bag containing pieces of paper with the following tasks written on them. We will pull out a task and text it to you. After we pull one, we will return it to the bag, so it may be used again. If you did that task that day, you will get extra points. Please record these pop challenge points and add them to your weekly tally. We will text everyone between 8-9:00 with the pop challenge.

****Pop Challenge Points****
Extra exercise- Reward yourself +2 extra pts for every half hour extra beyond the first ½ hour
No fried food/cooking with excess butter, oil, etc. +2
No pop/carbonated beverages +2
Had 4 servings of veggies. +2
Had 3 servings of fruit. +1
No sweet treats (cakes, cookies, candies, etc.) +3
Ate breakfast. +2

Anyone who is up for the challenge please reply as soon as possible so we have an idea who will be participating (i.e. how big the cash pot will be!). Also, this is all done on the honor code....NO CHEATING!
