Weight-Loss Continuing on with Accountability

Weight-Loss
Hey gals...welcome to the first day!Tuesday to Tuesday we will run, first challenege this week NO JUNK FOOD!

GOOD LUCK!:)!!!

A revew of the points system and how will work if you missed it:)!

Point System

Challeneges
4 points a day...the days you complete the challenege you recieve 4 points...also if you do it everyday for the whole week you can reveive 30 points.A little bonus over the 4 points a day.Added incentive and a reward!

Weight Loss
What you loose is your points...(.5lbs = .5 points)

Water
Water in ozs...what you drink is what we get.32ozs is 32 points

Exercise
5 points a day for 45 mins+ So 45mins and above gets you 5 points a day...if no exercise that day no points...

One other thing...

Checking in daily with food and exercise
2 points a day...It is about accountability, checking in daily is important and recording everything for us to see good or bad is part of it all.
 
I think saying where we are from is a smart idea...I forgot that in my intro - LOL...Im from British Columbia (Canada) Vancouver - B.C...and I am 30 yrs old.Don't think I mentioned that either:)LOL!

Im glad I made the no junk food for this week...When I came into work last night I was looking for chips.We had our big annual BBQ last Wednesday and there is a boat load of chips left and pop.Every night I came in and had a pop and some chips.The no junk food made me make a better chioce (salmon and green beans)
