Okay ladies (and gentleman too if you would like to join in!), I would like to invite you all to join me in an eight week HEALTHY mind, body, and spirit challenge called Feel Great in Eight! Eight weeks of improving your health in every way - through nutrition, exercise, and even gospel study and prayer!! I am excited to work together to get healthier and maybe even make some MONEY!! :)
What is feel great in eight? A fun competition held for eight weeks to "feel great in eight"! It is a fun group all trying to make healthier choices and improvements toward obtaining a permanent healthy lifestyle. This challenge also includes spiritual health!! In my mind this is not a weight loss challenge - it is about taking care of the body, mind, and spirit Heavenly Father gave you. Even if you don't want to lose a single pound, you will still benefit! And, if you would like to lose some weight - I'm sure that will come right along with this healthy lifestyle!!
What do you do? Get points for working out, eating right, drinking enough water, taking care of yourself mentally, spiritually, intellectually, etc. Yep all of it. You also get points taken off for unhealthy decisions. If you chose to join in, I will send you a list of all the behaviors that gain and lose points and their value.
How much? Everyone puts $10 in the pot. I will collect the money and save it for the winners!
How long? Eight wonderful weeks! Starting August 17th and ending October 10th!!
Who wins? 80% of the pot goes to the person with the most points at the end of the eight weeks, 10% goes to 1st and 2nd runner up. (so if 20 people join and the pot is $200, the winner gets $160 and 1st and 2nd runners up get $20 each.) Sounds like motivation to me!!
How do I submit my points? You will need to keep track of your points, total them up, and then email your total to me each week.
Where do I sign up? Just leave a comment with your email address!! The deadline to sign up is Sunday, Aug 16th, by 10 pm. Once you have signed up (by commenting on this post), I will send you an email with my home address for you to send your $10 (cash if possible please!). Or for those of you who live in my parts, just drop it off at my house by hand, or hand it to me a church...you get the idea! :) The money will be due at the end of the first week - by Sunday, Aug 23rd. If I do not have your money by then, you won't be in the rest of the competition.
I will send you the official rules and point tracker sheets no later than Sunday, Aug 16th - The competition will start on Monday August 17th!
I think this will be a really fun way to stay motivated and become healthier! After the eight weeks, I hope we will all see the changes become part of our lifestyle, which is the overall goal! You are welcome to extend this invitation to any friends that would like to join in!
