Would you like to join a challenge that will help you live your healthiest life? Do you want a challenge that is focused on more than just the numbers on the scale? Are you willing to commit to establishing healthy habits in the following areas of your life: nutrition, exercise, hydration, sleep, and reflection? Then let’s get started together!

This will be a 21-day recurring challenge, with a 7-day break between each new challenge.

This group will be about more than support. We will do that, of course, but we will also go the extra mile and provide discipline and accountability for one another.

Now what you have been waiting for—

THE RULES:

You will be trying to get as close to 100 points each day as you can. Perfection is not expected, but we’ll also celebrate a “perfect” score whenever it happens! Points are allocated as follows:

Staying within your calorie goal: 30
Eat breakfast/lunch/dinner: 3
Eat at least 5 servings of vegetables or fruits: 7
*No junk food or food not on your preferred eating plan: 3
Log everything you eat and drink: 3
Drink 64 oz. of water or 1/3 your body weight in oz. (whichever is more): 15
^Exercise at least 30 min.: 15
Spend at least 10 minutes strength training: 5
Spend at least 5 minutes in flexibility exercise: 5
Each additional 15 minutes of exercise: 1 (up to 4 additional points)
Getting at least 7 hours of sleep: 3
+Each additional half hour: 1 (up to 2 additional points)
Daily journal or reflection: 5

*You may have 1 indulgence per week and still receive 3 points. For instance, if you are on an eating plan that does not allow alcohol, you may have one glass of wine and still receive your points. Only 1 serving of the indulgence food per week, for your own sake!
^You may take 1 rest day per week and still receive 25 points (for total minutes, strength, and flexibility time).
+For each 5 consecutive day period you sleep at least 7 1/2 hours, you earn a bonus night, allowing you to get less than 7 hours and still take all 5 sleep points.

If you score 90 or higher for 9 consecutive days, you receive a free day of your choosing! You can give yourself a 100 no matter what! So you can earn up to 2 of these each challenge period.

You will also have 2 “Free Pass” days each challenge to use for illness, travel, emergencies, etc. You may take 50 points for each Free Pass day.

We’ll have a Google doc for you to post daily, and you will post your daily reflection on the challenge group thread (which will be set to private so only members of that challenge can read them).

Above all, be honest—because you’ll only be cheating yourself if you’re not. This is 100% honor system.

So…are you ready to create a better lifestyle?

Comment below if you’re in! We’ll kick off our first challenge period on Monday, January 31.
