The Final Week

Hello Ladies,

I can't believe we are heading into our last and final week of this Healthy Habits Challenge. I actually wish it was going to keep going. If there are any of you out there who would like to keep going too, please let me know. I have seen some massive changes and it's nice to know that there are others out there who are working hard as well, just need that little extra bit of motivation. Also wanted to apologize for not posting as much on the blog as I wanted to. Life and stuff got in the way ya know. So I hope we can finish up strong.

First and second place prize will go to highest number of points.

The third place prize will go to the person who lost the largest % of body weight, biggest loser style. So here is the formula:

- 1 Divide number of pounds lost by the starting weight.
- 2 Multiply the answer to step 1 by 100
- 3 Example: 40 /330 x 100 = 12.12%

At the end of next week when you send me your points/cheats/drawing also send me your % of weight loss. Just that #, you don't need to send me your starting and beginning weight. So third prize is kind of a mystery. I'm excited to see who will take that one.

Here is the prize money breakdown:

We started with 30 people, giving us $600 even.
We used $120 for gift certificates. ($10/week x 2 winners/week = 20 x 6 weeks = $120)
Leaving us 600-120=$480

So
1st Prize = $200
2nd Prize = $160
3rd Prize = $120
A nice even $40 separates each winner.

It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing. 8 weeks for your friends and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Don't quit.
6 weeks to go. I'm gonna take that challenge and keep it going.

Thanks for Playing,

Chelsa

I kind of want to keep it going but since I've been working my pregnant butt off and it's done nothing but get bigger I'm not very motivated. :) it probably helped slow down the growth though, I could've gained 10 pounds instead of 4! Thanks for putting all this together it's been a good challenge for me and I do feel like I have some will power now. :) keep me in the loop of what you're doing to keep it going.

RULES

Here is the point break down:

1. 1 point for a healthy breakfast

2. 1 point for a healthy lunch

3. 1 point for a healthy dinner

4. 1 point for 2 healthy snacks

5. 1 point for 8 glasses of water

6. 1 point for no soda

7. 1 point for no sugar

8. 1 point for each 1/2 hour of exercise (2 hour limit)

9. 1 point for not eating after 8:00pm

10. 1 point for a personal/spiritual goal of your choice

So the max points you can get for any one day is 13.

Other rules include:

Each week we will do a drawing for a gift certificate. To be included in the drawing you will need to have at least 8 points per day, 56 for the week. If you don't turn your points in you will not be entered into the drawing. I will post the results of the drawing and drop of the certificate

You will get one cheat day each week for sugar or soda. You have to choose. You don't get both. That means you will get the point for that day.

You get one cheat meal each week. We all need to go out once and awhile.

No fast food. Like we mentioned before, this means junk, pizza, burgers, burritos smothered in cheese and sauce etc. If you need a salad or a sandwich while your out shopping just make sure its around 400 calories. If you think it "might" be healthy but you're not sure, check online. Most places now days will tell you calories anyway.
