Read me!

I like Daylemarie's idea, and it will be a challenge to stay away from high fructose corn syrup for even 1 day for me! So that will be our bonus challenge next week. DM give us some ideas what we can eat that doesn't have any if you know of some. And Christel you still owe me 5 points, I want them!!!!

Just a thought

I can't whine about our challenges if I don't give suggestions so here goes! I was thinking of a no sugar challenge but I think no high fructose corn syrup would be better! It is soooo bad for you, and gives more cravings for sugar (probably the number one reason all Americans are over weight) So check your labels, it is in everything from Ketchup to salad dressing to juice, granola bars, cereal and even yogurt. It would be worth the try to eliminate it in at least the majority of the products we use! 5 points for the days you can stay away from it???

Bonus Challenge for Week 12

Wow, can you believe it's week 12 already? So this week's challenge will have to do with helping others get motivated to work out and exercise. This week's challenge is worth 5 points for each activity or exercise hour you do with other people/or another person. However, you can't count points for the same people each time, each hour has to be with a different person/people every time for this week. It's more fun to exercise with others anyways!!!!

Week 11: April 12th- April 19th

Physical Challenge: Stairs (# of stairs done in a week)
(for those of us who have stairs in our homes, the stairs only count if you set aside a specific time to do stairs, not just going up and down for day to day stuff) For those of you who don't have stairs in your home, you can always use a step ie. curb or small step from living room to hall but both feet must go up and down!)
Bonus Challenge: 5 servings of Fruits and Vegetables (See post below)
