Lame!

So, everyone has dropped out of this and there are only 4 of us doing this. If you ask me, that's pretty lame. So, since no one has paid me and no one has sent me their points, I am cancelling this.
I would, however, like to do this officially again. So, if we can get 10 people to commit to this, I will do it. If not, it's a no go. So, I am proposing this to start the first week in December. Let me know if you or a friend of yours is interested. Again, I will not do this unless I have a solid 10 people doing it. So, get your friends and lets do it!

It's almost time

We will not be starting the program this week, but will be starting next Monday. I have not gotten the final word from a few people, and we want as many people as possible. So far here are the participants (please correct me if I am wrong):
Renee Rice
Michelle Rasmussen
Renee Frisby
Thomas Frisby
Emily Hill
Melissa DeLong ?
Marian Chase?
Lisa Jenkins ?

Please let me know if you are for sure doing this. Also, please invite friends and family to do it with us. It's more fun if there are more people. I also need your $10 if you are doing it. I will hold on to all the money until the 8 weeks is over. Remember the more people that do it, the bigger the pay out. Try to get your money to me this week if possible. I am looking forward to starting next week, so please let me know if you are IN or OUT this week.

Who is in it to Win it?

We are starting a get fit challenge. The challenge will be based on time exercised 5 days a week and good nutrition 7 days a week. The program will last 8 weeks. Every week you must check in with me. Every participants results will be posted publicly on the blog weekly. This will help all participats with motivation and keeping on track. To participate there is a $10 fee. The winner of the program will win the entire pot. So, the more people that participate, the better the pay out. Please encourage your friends and family to participate, however this is not for those people that are already exercising and eating healthy. We don't want anyone to have an unfair advantage, so we are trying to keep all participants even. To win you have to have the most points at the end of the 8 weeks. Points are based on the following items:

Time excersied (with a maximum of 45 minutes per day, 5 days a week)
Fruits and vegetables eaten daily (with a maximum of 6 total a day, 7 days a week)
Drinking water (with a maximum of 8 8oz glasses a day, 7 days a week)
Sleep (with a minimum of 7.5 hours, 5 days a week)

Please let me know if you are interested and I will email you more information. The program is scheduled to start on Monday, August 9th. If we don't get enough participants right away we will start the following week. Thanks for your interest and good luck with the program.

I've had a few questions about the point system. Here is how it will work:
Exercise: you will recieve 5 points for every 15 minutes of exercise. That means in a week, if you work out the 5 possible days, you can earn 15 per day for a total of 75 in the week.
Fruits and Vegetables: for every fruit or vegetable serving eaten it is 1 point, you can get a maximum of 6 points in a day. That means in a week you can earn 42 points.
Water: For every 8oz of water drunk it is 1 point. That mean in a day you can earn 8 points and in a week you can earn 56 points.
Sleep: for every night you recieve more that 7.5 hours of sleep, it is 1 point, 5 days a week. That means in a week you can recieve 5 points total.

In a week you can get a maximum of 178

If there are any other questions, please let me know.
