INSTRUCTIONS

While the instructions are on the spreadsheet, I thought it might be easier for people to be able to access it here, too:
First, please download the spreadsheet to get started:
The Google doc can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PSt_6eVDVqG6VsE_KW1n94ja0nXUFpBsSd81aoclh_Q/edit?usp=sharing
Download the file by clicking on "file", "download as". If you have Excel, this would be the best choice as you would then be able to use the formulas that were created. Once downloaded, you should be able to enter your own data and print.
There are two tabs at the bottom of the page. The "instructions" tab has information about the challenge. The "tally" tab is the spreadsheet used for tracking your activity and points. Both tabs appear at the bottom of the pages.
What you need to know:
This is an 8 Week Challenge that starts on a Monday (February 1 - March 27)
There is a weekly point calendar for each of the 8 weeks
Each week, there is a double point challenge (highlighted in yellow)
Daily contact with teammate: It’s amazing the strength that comes from encouragement from your teammates! You should email, call, or text someone on your team to encourage them to have a healthy day. It helps knowing that we are all in this together and makes you accountable for what we do or don’t do.
You can choose to not each sugar/treats each day, but you will only receive points for not eating sugar on 6 days (everyone needs a break). the obvious list includes treats with high refined sugar content such as cookies, cakes, doughnuts, regular soda. If you choose a healthy alternative such as low-calorie yogurt, sugar-free jello etc., then you still earn points for that day.
You can choose to not drink alcohol each day, but you will only receive points for not drinking alcohol on 5 days (everyone needs a break).
Note that exercise requirements increase at week 4
Post a weekly update with your total for each category, and a grand total for the week.
Weight yourself anytime each Sunday and tally up all points by 8 PM. Make sure that you weight yourself under the same circumstances each week (for example: Morning/Night, Empty/Full stomach)
On the last week of the challenge, state your starting weight, weight each week and your ending weight. Added kuddos to the most percentage lost.
Additional information:
All participants should choose a team to join (By Sunday, January 31 at 8:00PM PST).
Every team should choose a team leader
Every week by Sunday at 8PM PST, provide your points to your team leader.
Team leaders, send me the average team score for the week and the name and number of points for the participant with the highest points contributed by Monday at 2:00PM PST. (The average score is done by adding all points from team members, divided by the number of team members who participated for the week*. )
*If you can't participate for the week (vacation, illness, etc... not just being lazy ;-) ), please notify your team leader AHEAD OF TIME. You will not contribute points for the week, and will not be counted in the final team average.
Winning: Yes, we're all winners in this just for being here! But for extra motivation, I will announce the winning team (highest point average), and the winning participant (participant with most points) by Tuesday at noon PST.
