There have been several questions about the DAILY challenge so I looked into it. The problem is that I never posted them! I am so sorry!! I made the space in the Weekly Challenge but forgot to go back and enter them. No WONDER there was so much confussion.
So this weeks DAILY challenges are as follows:
9/1 - pass (everyone gets the point since I didn't post it)
9/2 - Drink 100 OZ of water
9/3 - No refined sugar (natural sugars such as in fruit or wine are ok)
9/4 - No refined flour or wheat
So drink 100 oz of water today and you earn today's daily challenge point.
Each Sunday I will post the new DAILY and WEEKLY challenges for the upcoming week. The MONTHLY challenge will stay the same which is your Food Plan.
I would like to publicly thank BeilaLin for her energy with the spread sheet and the clarifications. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Let me know if you have any more questions! Your questions are making us better!

DEAR FRIENDS AND TEAMMATES:
Every day you need to tell me if you met all three challenges - Did you meet the daily challenge (today it is drink 100 oz of water), the Weekly challenge (did you do 5 of the 10 challenges listed), and the Monthly challenge (did you live within your food plan). You earn 1 point every day for each challenge you meet.
Beila Lin - Can the spread sheet be modified (if needed) so people can post a 1, 2 or 3 instead of "Complete" or "Incomplete"?
Again, every day I need to know if you met the daily challenge, the weekly challenge and the Monthly challenge. You can either post it here or put a 1, 2 or 3 on the spreadsheet indicating how many of the 3 challenges you met.
Thanks for your patience as we work out the bugs!! And thanks for all the positive comments!
And remember - It is not about how many times we fall, it is about how many times we get back up!!!0 -

HEY EVERYONE!
I finally figured out what Ralph means by the daily challenge!
Here is the new Spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au4IAEZ94WeKdGk0QlljSC1aQjlFVWpfd0hBX3VMV3c&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0
I modified it so that you enter the number of points you earn each day (instead of comple/incomlete). You can earn 1, 2, or 3 points each day. Please see all the details on the spreadsheet...which is hopefully now, PERFECT for our tracking needs!
It even auto calculates the points earned for the week, including the pounds lost, and the TEAM POINTS total (pink row).
Ralph, I hope this helps!
Also, if you cannot open it on your phone, then just post your progress here like Ralph has written.
Thanks all!

I need some clarifications on this part:
"*Add 5 points for team challenge completion (captain to add/modify)"
I understood all the other points..but I don't see how these 5 points come into play.

thank you!!!!
If everyone meets their food plan each day (stays within their challenge level each day), then put "yes" on the spreadsheet or indicate it on this message board along with your results for the week, and the captain will add 5 points to the TEAM POINT total (not your total)....
Is that right ralph? That is what i read it to mean.0 -

Notes:
Daily Challenge: It is pretty easy to meet this daily challenge of 100 ozs of water. I set a time, and try to get the water all finished by 2AM so I'm not jumping up in the middle of the night.
Weekly Challenge: Heat index was 104 degrees. I went into a store for lottery tickets in hopes that I will never have to work again. There, I saw a Diet Sierra Mist sitting in a barrel of ice -it was cold and it had my name all over it. Failed the Soda challenge. :grumble: Also, I had some coffee creamer on 9/2 so....
Monthly Challenge: Not sure how this works. The weekly challenge and monthly challenge seem to blend together some how. I'll look through the posts again and update this later.
Update: So, after reading through the instructions etc., it seems that if one fails the weekly challenge, if follows that they automatically fail the monthly challenge. Is that right?
Overall notes: I thought about the no gluten challenge because I have allergies. I'm always putting something in my ear to scratch it and eyes itch and so does the rest of my face. I'm trying to narrow in on whether this occurs right after consuming wheat/gluten products. If so, giving up wheat products will be a challenge for sure -I may need to comprimise at first by limiting myself to no more than one serving a day and gradually phasing it out of my diet.
9/1 Even though I failed part of the challenge, I was under target calories and so happy about it :bigsmile:0 -

I proud of you too! I'm a Costco member and i know all about their pizzas. I saw one with pepperoni larger than my fist! Heaven forbid I should stop by the cafe.
You got some great stuff from the cedar mill :-) Especially those blueberries. Yum -I love blueberries.
I had two challenges so far this week.
First, on Friday my colleagues bought breakfast of donuts and bagels to work. I was rushing that morning and did not have my normal bacon and eggs for breakfast so I was hungry by the time I arrived to work.
My second challenge came from -GUESS WHO - the husband! He made a Chicken Marrekas recipe which should have been 291 calories. After smelling it cook all night long, I was ready to dig in and willing to spend the 291 calories doing so; i did just that.
While I'm eating it, I notice that it is CHUNK FULL OF CHICKEN BREAST. So, I ask hubby if he followed the recipe to a T. That's how I learn that instead of using 2 Lbs of chicken he used 4 lbs!!! (because at the store, they only sold 1.75 lbs or 4 lbs) What was he to do? :noway: By then, I'd already eatin 1.5 servings. :noway: Why he chose the 4lbs package instead of the 1.75lb package? He says "because he wanted it to be good"
How I Overcame My Challenges:
At the office, I avoided the bagels and donuts and settled for an Atkins bar which I had stashed in my desk for such occassions. Later in the morning, I took a break to heat up a pre-made Dean's egg white, cheese, turkey, and bagel sandwhich that was frozen and tucked away in my freezer for emergencies. I had enough sense to grab one on the way out the door
I had a talk with my husband about his decision to substitue 4 lbs of chicken in the recipe instead of 2 lbs. Then, I dumped 16 fluid ozs of organic chicken stock into the remaining Chicken Marrikas. This made the dish soupy and easier to control the caloric consumption.
Next, I had to add one serving of chicken breast to my diary to make sure the overage was properly accounted for. Finally, I had to workout for 80 minutes...
Not too bady 'ey.0 -
Tank Girl--Whatever works for you! Spreadsheet or this thread is fine. I think Ralph can read it just fine either way.
Choir Girl--The monthly challenge is to follow your food plan aka challenge level aka custom plan. It's whatever you set for yourself. The weekly and daily challenges are specific rules to follow each day or week (depending on the type of challenge it is...daily challenge=follow it that day....weekly challenge=follow it that week)...HOPE THIS CLEARS THE AIR
If one fails the weekly challenge, you do NOT fail the monthly challenge....here's how it works... you have 3 opportunities to earn points each day for a total of 3 points per day:
1 pt = follow your food plan aka monthly challenge-->this is why it was confusing to me too...the way it's named makes me think it's something you must do for the entire month in order to "complete"
1 pt = follow your weekly plan (see the weekly plan laid out for us each sunday or on the excel spreadsheet. i will try to update it as soon as i hear it from Ralph).
1 pt = follow your daily plan (see the daily plain laid out for us each sunday or on the excel spreadsheet. i will try to update it asap after ralph posts it here).
THEN you have opportunities to earn more points through weight loss at the end of the week:
1 pt / 1 pound lost
ALSO the ENTIRE TEAM WOMR has an opportunity to earn 5 points if EVERY PERSON was able to follow their MONTHLY PLAN aka food plan for EVERY DAY of that week....this 5 points goes to the TEAM, not the individual's points.
Hope that clears it up!
Here's the new spreadsheet revised with more clarifications in case if people are still confused:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au4IAEZ94WeKdGk0QlljSC1aQjlFVWpfd0hBX3VMV3c&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0
I guess it makes sense to bookmark it or add to favorites for your reference on the weekly/daily challenges and the challenge level you chose.0 -
