4 out of 5 weekly challenge WEEK 10 May 9th *OPEN*

Options
THIS CHALLENGE IS OPEN TO ANYONE, JUST SIGN IN BY MIDNIGHT MONDAY IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE.

If you want to join in this challenge please sign in no later than midnight eastern time on Monday, May 9th. After that feel free to join us next week.

This is a 4 out of 5 challenge. Meet 4 of the following goals every day to stay in the challenge.

Goal 1 - Log all food
Goal 2 - drink at least 8 cups of water
Goal 3 - work out for 30 minutes per day
Goal 4 - stay under your calories
Goal 5 - do something for yourself (read a magazine article, a book, work on a hobby, etc....)

Each day you'll log in and tell us how many goals you've reached for the day. If you don't reach 4 goals you'll be out for the week (but don't worry you can join us again the following week). If you do not reach 4 of the 5 goals and have not earned a grace day just post that you're out and then please refrain from posting until the new challenge is posted the following week.

If you hit all 5 goals three days in a row you can earn a grace day. Grace days can be used at any time for any reason, you don't need to justify it - simply state that you're using a grace day. Grace days can be banked from week to week but you have to earn them within one week. That means you can't count Saturday, Sunday, Monday as your three days in a row because each challenge will begin on Monday.

If you drop out of the challenge with unused grace days you forfeit those grace days.

I will set up a new post each Sunday for the following week's challenge.

    I'd like to join - I need incentive to log my calories.

    So I need to do 4 of the 5 challenges every day to keep in for the week.

    Do I need to do anything else?

    no exercise - simply no time
    well I didn't kill anyone at work and go to prison - it was mighty tempting though - and it might even have been worth it

    logged all
    drank all
    under calories
    worked out for 80 minutes
    hung out at the mall with my kids
