Okay ladies....and gentlemen. So here is the challenge. 6 weeks (modified from the 8 weeks), 6 days a week, 10 points a day. The consensus was that a "buy-in" challenge with a cash reward will keep many motivated. So $20 is the entry fee.
Here are the categories:
1. Get 8 hours of sleep (this can include naps if you don't get a complete 8 hours at night)
2. Don't eat sugar (candy, ice cream, etc....natural sugars in fruits and other things are ok)
3. Don't eat any white flour foods (white bread, white pasta, etc.)
4. Get at least 30 minutes of physical activity/exercise
5. Read some kind of uplifting material for 15 minutes (scriptures, magazines, articles, etc.)
6. Drink 8 glasses of water (8 oz glasses)
7. Eat 2 fruits and 2 veggies
8. No eating after 8:30pm
9. Give service to someone outside of your immediate family
10. Personal Challenge
Temple Attendance -2 points (2 extra points possible/week)
I added personal challenge after a suggestion that I include not drinking caffeinated soda. I am admittedly a serious addict, and can’t start my day without at least 1 can of diet mt. dew. I guess it would be silly to do a health challenge and not stop doing the worst thing I do for my heath. (Don’t get me wrong I love, love, love sweets, but a nice cold soda from QT- it doesn’t get much better) I know not everyone is addicted to soda, but everyone has something that they would like to work on, so I decided to add Personal Challenge as the #10 point. I am very reluctantly adding no soda to my list. If you are an addict, like myself, feel free to add soda to your list as well. If soda is no big deal, think of something that is. MAKE IT GOOD!!!
This challenge is 6 weeks long and consists of 6 days each week. You get ONE free day! Feel free to continue with these 10 challenges on your day off, but know that you won't get points for them. So on your day off, you can do whatever you want....but don't get carried away....be smart! Try to stay on task and remember the ultimate ending goal....to better yourself all around! So out of the 6 weeks, you can earn up to 10 points per day, which can come to a max total of 360 points, or a 372 if you also attend the temple each week. There will be a cash prize for the 1st place and a randomly draw 2nd place (through random.org) for all those who have at least 300 points. There is a $20 buy in to help make the grand prize more appealing and to keep you motivated! The 1st prize winner will receive 80% of the money, 2nd place 20%. So even If you are not able to maintain a perfect score, don’t give up you will still be in the running for 2nd place.
Please let me know ASAP if you are interested. If you want to join in on the cash prize, I need your money ASAP as well. If I don’t have your money by Friday, I will assume you are opting out of the cash prize.
I want to know how everyone is doing send me emails with your point updates, stories and encouragement. I will post it to 6weekstoabetteryou.blogspot.com
